Where to Wallpaper
Wallpaper has become increasingly popular, but choosing the right kind and placement can be challenging. Here are some rooms to consider for your first wallpaper project:
Powder Room: A half-bath is the perfect place to be bold and adventurous. You can choose a dark, moody pattern, something vibrant and playful, or classic and elegant. Just consider adding a backsplash behind the sink or select a sink that protects the wallpaper from water splashing on the wall.
Guest Bedroom: Like the powder room, a guest bedroom offers a chance to explore different styles. If you regularly host in-laws or guests, opt for a wallpaper that exudes sophistication without being too overpowering. Think of a refined, hotel-like ambiance with calming patterns. Woven or fabric wallpapers can add a classy touch.
Dining Room: In an enclosed dining room, wallpaper can elevate the space from mundane to magnificent. As dining rooms increasingly serve multiple functions, such as a study or library, choose a wallpaper that adds a stately and impressive feel. Patterns like stripes, florals, or a large mural can enhance the room’s elegance and charm.

Room Service Tip #7:
Consider the ceiling as the 5th wall.
Don’t overlook the ceiling—it’s another design opportunity! Enhance it by adding wallpaper or crown moulding for texture and style. Choosing a darker color can create a cozy atmosphere, while lighter colors can make the space feel more open. Treat your ceiling with care to elevate your room’s overall look.
