Whether you have some scrap pieces of wallpaper lying around or you’re itching for a new upcycling project, it can be hard to find inspiration. We’ve put together some simple ideas to make the most of your wallpaper and add a unique flair to your home.
Framing a bit of wallpaper creates a statement work of art for your home that nobody else will have! This is a great choice because it’s easy to do, no matter how large the piece of wallpaper you have.
If you have wallpaper on a feature wall, hanging a frame of the same pattern on an adjacent wall can really create a cohesive look for your space.
Following on from the idea of cohesion, you could also use your leftover wallpaper to cover light switch plates, transforming them from drab white to a sophisticated damask. It’s a quirky addition to your home which is sure to be envied by guests!
Perhaps the most obvious use for leftover wallpaper, it’s perfect for adding style to any furniture that’s looking a bit sorry for itself.
Backing bookcases with wallpaper brightens up the space and draws more attention to the items on display, adding more interest to your home.
Wallpapering a sideboard can easily give it a new lease of life. We suggest applying the wallpaper to the fronts of the drawers or along the top for a burst of colour in your home. It’s advised not to put wallpaper on high-traffic areas like tabletops to prevent it from getting damaged or worn too quickly.
Alternatively, use the wallpaper as drawer liners. Although concealed, this will help protect your drawers and create a contemporary feel to your furniture. Sometimes, the smallest differences have a big impact!
Whether you’re trying to be more sustainable or need something a bit sturdier than thin wrapping paper, use your leftover wrapping paper to wrap gifts. Not only does it give the paper another use, but it also creates a wonderfully personalised touch to your present that your recipient is sure to love.
It’s time to explore your creativity – use your wallpaper for scrapbooking! It makes the perfect background for recording your memories and favourite moments, as well as being ideal for a mood or vision board.
Modernise your hallway by putting wallpaper along the risers of the staircase. It’s sure to attract attention from anyone who comes to visit, with your perfectly unique twist on décor. We would suggest using coated or vinyl paper so you can easily wipe away marks and scuffs.
We hope this provided some inspiration on how to upgrade your space uniquely. Don’t forget to browse our Wallpaper department and let it bring out your creative side!
