How to add character and color in your home with wallpaper.
I don't know what came over me when we moved into this house years ago, but I've added wallpaper to almost every room makeover so far! Wallpaper is back in a big way, but I never really had any desire to use it until we moved here.
Maybe I've fallen in love with wallpaper because I had an empty slate, or maybe it's because once you add it once you just want to keep going. It's addictive!
I'm rounding up all of the ways I've used wallpaper so far — from little accents to entire rooms covered in it! If you've ever wondered about the different designs I've used, this will be a good resource.
These examples show the difference it can make in a space!
I also share a few tips about picking out and installing wallpaper throughout this post.
I've used both pasted and peel and stick wallpaper throughout the house. I shared tips on installing peel and stick wallpaper here.

It's a beautiful, understated accent that gives the room a little extra something. This little detail doesn't cost much either!
I used that same wallpaper in my IKEA closet makeover:
