Wallpaper that breakfast nook.
Youre not out of luck.
Take a panel and find achic framefor it.
This can also be less expensive than buying wall art.
One easy combo is taking a classic patterned wallpaper and putting it in an ornate or traditional gold frame.
you might even consider framing two large panels and hanging them next to each other for a diptych-inspired look.
This is always my favorite place to add wallpaper to.
It adds so much fun and unexpected drama.
Bookcases
Adding wallpaper to a bookcase is aneasy projectyou wont regret.
Just remove the shelves and choose a paper you love.
Add wallpaper to the back, shelves, or both.
you’re free to even do this yourself with peel-and-stick wallpaper.
Because its a small area, even beginners can handle it successfully.
Drawers and Shelves
Do you have leftoverpeel-and-stick wallpaperyoure not sure what to do with?
Or maybe theres a pattern you cant stop thinking about but arent sure where to use it?
Try lining drawers or shelves.
This is a particularly good idea for drawers or shelves that appear a little old or yellowed.
Best of all, its an easy DIY project.
Just be sure to thoroughly clean and dry the surface before applying the wallpaper.
