Are you tired of boring, bland walls? You want to make an impact in your home, but you don’t know how to begin. I’ve been in your shoes! After removing wallpaper from 10 walls in a 1980s home, I vowed to never use wallpaper again. But, oh how times have changed.
Today, I share my favorite colorful, bold wallpapers and murals that will transform any room. Wallpaper isn’t a relic from the past. It’s a powerful way to make a statement in your home.
Bold and colorful wall coverings can add warmth and personality to your interior space. Bold colors can make all the difference, whether you’re wallpapering a room or adding a statement wall to the living room. I’ve used bold colors in our lakehouse and all of our Airbnbs and I’m hooked.
Wallpaper on ceilings is one of my favorite uses. It instantly adds texture and color to the space. Wallpaper can make a room feel cozy and inviting, especially if it has high ceilings. A wallpapered ceiling can highlight beautiful moulding.
Wallpaper can be used to cover the entire wall in small powder rooms. The bolder the better! It’s almost like giving your wall a voice. A splash of color or a design that catches the eye can make a big statement on a blank wall. I went with a beachy theme for one of our short-term rentals, and it was amazing.
Consider a multicolored mural for a large wall of a living room. It can be made to fit your wall size. It can also be a focal point for your home office. I worked with a customer who combined it with an image wall and the result was stunning.
Installation has never been simpler. Peel-and-stick wall coverings are a game changer, especially for renters. Peel, stick and smooth. Pre-pasted products have also made great strides. It’s easy to hang. Just wet the back. Less mess, less stress.
You can even customize your wallpaper to match the vision you have. Imagine a custom mural featuring your aspiring soccer player or dancer! Upload a photo to create a wall mural if you are looking for abstract wallpapers, photo wallpapers, or both. It’s an original way to personalize a space.
