Wallpaper Ideas for Your Dining Room

Imagine savoring your favorite meal in a dining room that oozes style and sophistication. I’ve rounded up some great dining room wallpaper ideas that’ll make every dinner feel special. 

Dining rooms are the hub for family dinners and special moments. Sometimes, they even moonlight as the perfect homework spot for the kiddos. The rooms also often carry a formal vibe. You can make it extra special with stunning wallpaper. 

This vibrant wallpaper’s botanical pattern sets the stage for a stunning green traditional dining room. The dark-painted ceiling, paired with green wainscoting and trim, creates a captivating harmony with the bold colors of the wallpaper. Isn’t it so pretty?

Check out the stunning shibori design on the black and white wallpaper, adding flair to this eclectic dining space. The dining room is a great place to use something with more geometric patterns – like this.

And oh, those mirrors at the back of the cabinets! Not only do they reflect the wallpaper’s pattern, but they also dance with the natural light, creating a play of brightness. A perfect blend of style and practicality!

Wallpaper Ideas for Your Living Room

Your living room is the heart of the home, right? Let’s give it the love it deserves with these living room wallpaper ideas!

Even this temporary peel-and-stick wallpaper accent wall in this living room from Nesting with Grace makes a huge difference! You can totally get the wallpaper look on a budget with something like this.

If having wallpaper on all the walls (or just an accent wall) in your living room feels like “too much”, you could try something like this. She uses framed wallpaper panels on either side of the fireplace in this gorgeous living room with wall sconce lighting incorporated. It looks amazing!

Wallpaper Ideas for Your Nursery and Kid Spaces

Nurseries and kid spaces are some of the best places to use wallpapers. You can even get away with something like a bold wallpaper and experiment with different colors that you may not use in the rest of your home. 

For the little ones, we’ve got designs rounded up below that will spark imagination and bring joy. 

This is a great option if you want to go a little more bold and bright in your kid’s room than you may go elsewhere in your house. This gorgeous mural wallpaper with hand-painted floral designs is perfect for a little girl’s room.

Really, I’m a big fan of any type of floral wallpaper in girl’s nurseries – I wrote a whole article all about it!

Chris Loves Julia went with the complete opposite of bold in this nursery with a soft and subtle cloud pattern wallpaper on the walls in this nursery space. With the bottom portion of the walls covered in wainscoting, it provides an elegant look to the whole space. 

Wallpaper Ideas for Your Powder Room or Small Bathroom

Who says bathrooms have to be boring? Dive into a sea of creativity with bathroom wallpaper ideas to turn your bathroom into a personal spa retreat. 

Taking it a step further, I think wallpaper in a small bathroom or even a powder room is a great choice! These examples show us that wallpaper, even those with a bold pattern, works even in a small space.

Elegant white peonies and bluebirds create a picturesque scene on the misty green canvas of this traditional chinoiserie wallpaper design in this small bathroom.

I love that it is installed above the white-painted beadboard instead of on the entire space. It creates a great balance.

Transforming this powder room into a modern farmhouse gem is as simple as adding a buffalo check pattern wallpaper and swapping out the vanity mirror. The makeover magic is real on this one. Proof that with the right wallpaper, you can truly transform a room. 

Wallpaper Ideas for Your Bedroom

Your sanctuary deserves a makeover! Explore bedroom wallpaper ideas that create a dreamy atmosphere, making bedtime the highlight of your day. Whether you choose to put the wallpaper on one wall as an accent wall to become the focal point of the room or on every wall to get the designer look. 

This countryside wall mural is absolutely gorgeous. This wallpaper design definitely has a moody and vintage feel that would be perfect in a bedroom.

I could also see it being a perfect fit for a living room, sitting room, powder room, family room, or guest room!  

The addition of the peony patterned wallpaper over the black-painted beadboard wall treatment adds so much coziness to this gorgeous guest bedroom.

Since it is such a bold wallpaper pattern, she scales it back and calms it down by just using it on the top part of the walls over the beadboard. It also makes the ceiling height feel higher than it really is. A creative little trick of the eyes. 

Wallpaper Ideas for Your Home Office

Your work oasis deserves a touch of inspiration! In fact, our modern home office was one of the first places I used wallpaper in our current home, which you’ll see below.

Explore wallpaper ideas to transform your home office into a space where creativity and productivity collide.

On the back of the built-ins in our home office, I added this pretty white and black floral wallpaper and it was the perfect finishing touch to the room – adding just the right amount of character and style.

When you go with a somewhat busy pattern like this, it can be helpful to have a toned-down color scheme – like black and white. It’s just the perfect backdrop to our office.

Marieza added a pretty tulip patterned wallpaper with a light blue and tan color scheme to go in this pretty home office with custom built-ins.

The room also features wainscoting, doors, and heavy trim painted all with a gorgeous shade of light blue to go with the traditional wallpaper. It all comes together nicely and adds so much character to her home office.

Glam up your closet space with wallpaper to make choosing an outfit feel like a fashion show. Because every wardrobe deserves a stylish backdrop. Even though your closet may be a small room or just a reach-in closet, you can still creatively add new wallpaper to give it more style. 

Sprinkling a dash of fun, we decorated the inside of our little girl’s closet in her farmhouse nursery with lively floral wallpaper. It’s a perfect burst of color that infused loads of character into the space! Don’t you agree?

That marbled wallpaper on the ceiling? Pure character booster for this home office! It adds a cool contrast to the navy blue walls, trim, and built-ins.

Wallpaper Ideas for Your Hallway

Hallways are an inevitable part of most floor plans, but they don’t have to be dull passageways. Wallpaper is a great opportunity to give these otherwise boring spaces something with new life.

Grasscloth wallpaper is a fun wallpaper to use because it brings in additional texture – which is always a good thing. The textured stripes of this hallway wallpaper added just enough to this small space. 

The gold and cream wallpaper installed about the wainscoting in this hallway is just perfect. By adding a patterned wallpaper to the walls, it can also act as the art so it is one less thing you need to think about when styling your hallways.
