Wallpaper on the ceiling can be such a fun choice in certain spaces! Using the right choice of pattern and color is important in this situation so that the room isn't overwhelmed by the wallpaper. A dark color or intricate pattern would cause the room to feel smaller, so base your choice around the size and shape of your space.

Using wallpaper behind shelves creates such a fun pop of interest and color! What's even better is that this is a very simple project. Just remove the shelves, cut the paper to size, and glue it in place.

Using wallpaper on the bottom of stairs without carpet is such a unique and beautiful way to make your home feel personalized. I love these numbered stairs, so cute!

I love the idea of using a fun graphic print wallpaper on one wall in a space to create interest.

Use wallpaper to breathe new life into a plain chest of drawers. Using the paper only on the fronts of the drawers and doors creates and accent to the yellow color of the piece.

I absolutely love the way books look when they are wrapped in coordinating colors and patterns. Use wallpaper to cover old books to create an accessory that adds a pop of fun color and pattern!
