Try An Accent Wall with a Bold Wallpaper

With wallpaper, less is more. An accent wall is really all you need. Adding a pop of color or texture with some stylish wallpaper will make a statement in your home for sure! If you fall in love with a bold wallpaper, base the rest of the room around colors pulled from the pattern. It will bring the whole room together.

Play With Patterns!

The Home Depot has a lot of options for stylish wallpaper. These are a few of my favorites for fun patterns…

Wallpaper can really add such dimension and style to a room. Thinking edgy, sophisticated, beachy, woodsy or bold? You can really achieve any look you are desiring with an accent wall. Make sure you have this tool kit if you are DIYing your wallpaper! The basic kit with a smoothing tool and an exacto knife are all you really need for the peel and stick wallpaper options.

Tone It Down

Maybe you want to keep your look more muted. Go ahead and tone it down a bit – you can do that too! Stylish wallpaper doesn’t have to be loud and bright. It can still be calming and serene. There are so many great ones that add just a hint of color and personality while still making a bold statement.

Textured Wallpaper

Ready to step it up a bit? Try a textured wallpaper! These are so cool. You may find your guests touching the walls, wondering how you did this, but it’s a fun and fancy accent to have in your home.

These stylish wallpapers are getting me so excited to start our renovation! I’ve decided to add a couple of special wallpapers in certain areas once we are done with the house!
