We don’t know about your moms, but ours were all over the wallpaper trend in the ‘80s (replaced by bold red walls in the ‘90s –– yikes.). We’re happy to report: The trend is back.
1. Desk: Okay, maybe not everyone has a super cool, super old-school desk in their house, but chances are, you have a desk. Give it a facelift by covering it in luxe wrapping. (via Brit + Co.)
2. Bookcase: No matter if you use your shelves to display a collection of first editions, your numerous trophies, or the odds and ends you’ve gathered up throughout life, they should be framed in the most eye-catching way possible. (via Marika Meyer Interiors)
3. Coasters: Finding a good coaster is surprisingly hard. Like they say, if you want something done right, do it yourself. (via The Thinking Closet)
4. Wreath: The holidays may be done and gone, but this wreath is neutral enough to rock all year long. (via Style At Home)
5. Table Runner: Forget filling your closet or cupboards with runners and linens that you only use once a year. Order a roll of wallpaper and update your look at each and every dinner party. (via Kate’s Creative Space)
6. Animal Silhouettes: Dutch designer Inke Heiland did it. (S)he (we couldn’t confirm) went and made wallpaper totally adorbs. (via Kaylee Webster Designs)
7. Cake Topper: Aww yeah. You guys have seen this loop through Brit + Co. in our recent cake topper roundup, and we’re mentioning it again. Really, how could we not? (via One Charming Party)
8. Decorative Lampshade: Wall coverings are lovely and scary at the same time, we get it. This is a way to try it out on the sly. (via One Kings Lane)
9. Tempting Table: The quickest and cheapest way to update your breakfast nook? A patterned table. (via Style At Home)
10. Stairs: Elevate your daily climb with splashed out raisers. We’re all about the stair art. (via House To Home)
11. Cabinet Door Panels: This tutorial is in Finnish (say what?!?!), but we have a feeling you’re smart enough to figure out the process on your own. (via Unelmien Talo & Jakoti)
12. Molding Framed: If this isn’t a look Coco Chanel would put in her Paris apartment, we don’t know what is. (via Maison 21)
13. Ceiling: No matter if you’re reclining on your couch pondering life or lying in your bed getting ready for a little shuteye, when you look up, you’re going to want to see an installation like this. (via Decor Advisor)
14. Dresser Drawer Liners: We see this fitting in at your little cabin in the woods (you know the one). Say what? You don’t have one of those? Grab a different style and give your underwear drawer a frilly look worthy of the garments. (via In This Little Yellow House)
15. Tray: This DIY is enhanced when you convince someone to bring you breakfast in bed. Just sayin’… (via My So Called Crafty Life)
16. Door Panel: If you have a secret lair, please don’t attempt this. It beckons, come on in. (via Style At Home)
17. Waste Basket: If we see one more boring metal mesh garbage can in the world, we just might die. A bit dramatic? Maybe, but this easy hack hardly leaves excuse for the standard look. (via Chez Larsson)
19. Cardboard Playhouse: Even if you don’t have kiddos, we think this is something everyone needs in their house. We’re serious. (via A Beautiful Mess)
20. Gift Bags: There are DIY wrapping paper tutorials galore. But don’t worry, little gift bag. We’re overlooking you no longer. (via Oh Happy Day)
21. Wall Mosaic: We love this look. Love it. Just make sure you have a good ruler, X-acto knife, and an eye for straight lines before you proceed. (via Laura Ashley)
22. Matchboxes: Strike it hot with these primped matchboxes. They’re good gifts or just nice to leave in the bathroom. (via Morning Creativity)
23. Embellished Clipboards: Okay, unless you’re a middle school gym teacher or a wedding planner who hasn’t heard of an iPad, your need for clipboards might be few and far between. But we’re thinking they make for cute art in your workshop as a real life Pinterest board! (via Mitzi’s Miscellany)
24. Wall Hanging: You found wallpaper that you absolutely love, but that $200 per roll price tag isn’t sitting very pretty with your pocketbook. Solution? Splurge for one roll and make a wall hanging. Bonus: No bubbling possible! (via Ninja Diva)
25. Tin-Can Covered Pencil Holders: Let’s just say this hack will be making its way to Brit + Co. desks in the very near future. (via Marisa Howard Design)
26. Wallpaper Shelves: Whether in your office, kitchen, or garage, these decked out shelves are an easy way to add color to any room. (via Martha Stewart)
27. Headboard: Got an old shabby headboard that’s giving you a headache? Wallpaper that sucker and rest with ease. (via Better Homes & Gardens)
28. Dollhouse: Believe it or not, this is a bookshelf. Just add wallpaper, and Barbie’s Dreamhouse? You can go ahead and eat your heart out. (via Belle Bébés)
29. Window Shade: We considered including this light saver in our recent curtain roundup, but we just had to save the look. Really, wallpaper hardly gets more chic than this. (via Martha Stewart)
