Why settle for plain painted walls when wallpaper can instantly transform a room? Wallpaper has made a big comeback in recent years, and it’s clear this trend isn’t going anywhere. More homeowners are choosing it to make a statement and give their spaces personality!
From bold murals that dominate a room, to soft, flowing abstracts, to lively botanical prints, there’s a wallpaper to fit every style. And it’s not just about the patterns; textures are having a moment too. Think metallic finishes, grass cloth, faux suede, wood, or even concrete. These options add depth, warmth, and a touch of luxury to any space.
Worried wallpaper might feel too permanent? Peel-and-stick makes it easy to experiment. Thanks to advances in digital printing, you can try the trend without the commitment, and switch things up whenever your style changes. It’s the perfect way to dip your toe into wallpaper without the stress.
1. Guest Baths, Foyers and Dining Rooms
In areas like foyers, guest baths, and dining rooms, wallcoverings provide a unique opportunity to express your style in ways that plain paint simply can’t. The right pattern or motif can set the perfect tone for guests as they enter your home. From vibrant floral designs to playful fauna patterns or timeless stripes, wallpaper adds personality, depth, and a touch of boldness to your living spaces.
2. Laundry Rooms
Let’s be honest, no one wants to linger in a dull laundry room. But adding wallpaper in a playful pattern or vibrant color can transform this everyday space, bringing a touch of whimsy and cheer to a chore we can’t escape!
3. Bedrooms & Closets
Make a bold statement in the bedroom with a headboard framed by wallpapered panels. For a more understated touch, opt for small-scale prints in nurseries, pantries, or powder rooms. And don’t overlook your closets, once wallpaper transforms them, you’ll never want to close the doors again!

4. The Fifth Wall
A bold pattern or mural on the ceiling can make a striking design statement, especially in smaller spaces like foyers, vestibules, cozy sitting rooms, hallways, and walk-in closets, areas where there’s little room for traditional design elements like furniture, window treatments, or accessories.

5. Be Creative
We’re even seeing wallpaper used in unexpected ways, lining the interiors of glass-front cabinets, highlighting the backs of built-in bookcases, or repeating paneled wallpaper accents on a painted wall. Using wallpaper doesn’t have to mean covering every wall; a single accent wall can have the same impact as a striking piece of art. It’s a creative way to elevate a small space and make a bold, memorable statement.
