It’s unexpected, but once you see it—you’ll want to do every ceiling in sight.

4. In Entryways and Hallways

High-traffic areas like hallways and foyers are often overlooked when it comes to design, but wallpaper can completely shift their vibe. A bold stripe, soft mural, or vintage map print turns a pass-through space into an experience. Use wainscoting or chair rails to ground it and keep it balanced.

It says “this home has intention”—right from the front door.

5. On Furniture Fronts

Give tired furniture new life by applying wallpaper to drawer fronts, tabletops, or the back of a wardrobe. It’s an easy DIY that adds major charm to otherwise utilitarian pieces. Use peel-and-stick wallpaper if you’re commitment-shy or renting.

A little goes a long way, especially when paired with fresh hardware.

6. As a Framed Art Alternative

Love a wallpaper print but not ready to commit to a whole wall? Frame a panel or two like artwork. Oversized frames with wallpaper inside look elevated and bespoke—especially when hung in pairs or trios. Perfect for renters, small budgets, or pattern-shy decorators.

It’s chic, low-pressure, and endlessly swappable.
