Wallpaper a Small Space for Maximum Impact
Take a gamble and wallpaper that small space in your home and make a big impact.
Thereβs a lot of trepidation surrounding wallpaper. People scared to take the plunge will cite:
- Itβs expensive.
- Itβs trendy.
- Itβs hard to apply and hard to remove.
For all of these reasons, it is cost prohibitive to wallpaper an entire room, right?
Not necessarily. A decorating method that makes sense is to wallpaper a small space, such as a bathroom, a butlerβs pantry or a small foyer, or even just one wall or a ceiling. Less space means fewer materials to purchase and less labor for installation. More importantly though, this approach is a great way to make maximum impact in a small space. Wallpaper is a way to express your aesthetic. In a small space, it makes sense to amplify that aesthetic, where a little bit goes a long way. Here are some great ways to use wallpaper:
Nooks
Great places to start wallpapering are all the little nooks around your home.
FOYERS
Give everyone a βwowβ when you open the door.
Stairways
Simply wallpapering a portion of the staircase is enough to anchor a space and make it feel complete. Here are a few examples to whet your appetite:
One Wall
Wallpapering one wall or one part of a larger space makes a big impact, too.
Powder Rooms
A favorite place to wallpaper in the home is a powder room, somewhere that everyone sees but is tucked away.
Wallpaper, at this βvolume,β offers a way to show your personality, or a least a little portion of it β the portion that does not play it safe. The portion that makes guests say, βI never knew that about you.β Why not give it a try? Decorating schemes are temporary and always can be changed.
