One of the major things on my personal to-do list in 2015 is finally getting our home completely cozy, with rooms that don’t feel about 60 percent done. I’m an awful decision maker when it comes down to it, particularly for my house because everything feels like a big and/or expensive decision.
Right now, funny enough my favorite room is probably our downstairs guest bath since we redid it last year. I’m obsessed with this grey faux leather wallpaper and all white accents, and it’s created a wallpaper obsession. It’s back! Whether it’s wallpaper, or even DIY wall strips or prints to look like the real deal, textured and printed walls can be a gorgeous way to complete a room, even if you’re just doing an accent wall, entry, bath or focal point. I also love a white or light grey textured paper to give a room warmth and depth. Don’t be shy about mixing and layering in prints and colors, or adding a paper with a shimmer or metallic detail. I love the grass cloth options featured about three times in various ways below, and are a little more subtle and classic.
spotted walls
navy trellis in entry
gold graphic print
grey glass cloth in entry
grasscloth in bathroom
neutral bathroom
french accent in bathroom
black print paper in bathroom
metallic in office space
green print in traditional living room
living room/playroom
master bedroom with printed paper
blue bedroom
neutral grass cloth in nursery
striped accent wall
graphic print accent wall
stairway
So what do you think, are you a wallpaper girl?

I love wall paper in small doses - perhaps in a powder room, an entry way, or on a focal wall. If it’s not a necessarily “loud” print though - I might use it for a whole room. There are so many fun options out there right now! I love the ones you’ve selected.

I’m with you, girl. H and I have a running complaint competition. We own a decent sized condo, but enough stuff to fill a much larger home. We redid our kitchen and master bedroom, and love them. While we didn’t do wallpaper (lord, I’d love to convince him of that), we went bold on the walls (bright red in the kitchen and charcoal grey in the bedroom), and can’t stop looking at them. A whole year and a half later.

I love the way wallpaper looks, these interiors are just beautiful! However, I’ve never used it or attempted to use it personally because I’m scared of one day having to take it down!

Wallpaper definitely is back! I just love it, and it can make such an impact when used the right way. It is especially great for small spaces, like bathrooms and entryways, and even laundry rooms. There are some really amazing choices available in paper, some are truly works of art.
I completely empathize on your struggle to finish decorating your rooms. It can be so hard to find the time, and it is what I do for work! (crazy, but yes, I still have several rooms that are still not completely done). Good luck finishing them out!

I love how fun wallpaper is! If I one day get a closet room, I want to do something awesome in there
