Unusual Uses for Wallpaper

Uses for Leftover Wallpaper

We all tend to think of wallpaper in terms of its original use: as a covering for our walls. But there are some pretty unusual uses that people have come up with for this potentially stylish and artistic accessory.

You can save a wild amount of money using wallpaper of your choice as an alternative gift wrapping. You may choose to use your leftover wallpaper, or you can buy a few rolls of your favorite for all-purpose gift wrap.
Give your notebooks an individual look by covering them with leftover wallpaper. You can also cover a child’s school books with wallpaper (but please, make it appropriate to the child’s gender and age).
Wallpaper can turn an inexpensive screen into a fabulous home accessory that will enhance your home.
Think about covering a set of inexpensive hat boxes with a beautiful wallpaper design for a delightful storage idea.
An inexpensive journal can take on star status with a wrapping of wallpaper–and you will have a journal that is uniquely yours.
Pick a plain, pale-colored wallpaper, or at any rate one that coordinates with your room, to create an interactive area in your home. Use a market to create divisions and main titles, then cover the whole in clear vinyl for a washable and therefore reusable surface. This could be a family calendar, or a huge post it note, where you can all contribute thoughts and messages.
Turn that cheap wall clock into an expensive-looking accessory: Kitchen clocks take on a completely new look when you unscrew the back and cover the back panel with a piece of brightly covered wallpaper.
Create a room divider and cover it up with wallpaper or a wallpaper mural.
Paper the panels of a closet, armoire or cabinet. You could also paper the panels of kitchen cabinets for a striking effect.
A new lampshade made from wallpaper scraps can give new life to an old lamp.
Instead of buying expensive shelf or drawer lining paper, use wallpaper for an individual look that costs a fraction of the price.
Carefully cut and stick two pieces of wallpaper together (right side out) and have the result laminated and you have stylish placements that match your room for pennies.
Instead of buying expensive floral boxes for storage, why not cover some large shoboxes with your favorite wallpaper for a cut-price solution for storing photos, cards, and keepsakes.
Cover a number of cereal containers with wallpaper and you have a set of stylish containers/paper holders for your home or office.
Update your kitchen cabinets: give them a totally new look by covering them with grasscloth.
If you have a bedside table, or occasional table that has seen better days, you can spruce it up in less than an hour by cutting some wallpaper to size (to fit the table top exactly), putting it in place, and then covering it with a piece of glass that has been cut to size.
A selection of old tin cans can be reinvented as a stylish set of containers for your office desk, kitchen counter, or even your bedroom or bathroom if you choose just the right piece of wallpaper!
Give your wedding invitations, gift cards, or other cards a spectacular look by making envelopes out of wallpaper. You can get the template by carefully pulling apart the existing envelope. This can be great fun and it’s an easy way to get noticed.

Superman Wallpaper

Looking for Superman wallpaper?

If you’re looking for Superman wallpaper, chances are you’re a parent and you’ve agreed to decorate your son’s room in the wallpaper of your choice. Or maybe you’re looking for Spiderman wallpaper?

Take care when you’re building your child’s dreams…

It’s not always easy to give our children what they ask for, but where the bedroom is concerned, we’re literally building their dreams so I feel it is important to create the right setting: their own space is the backdrop for the rest of their lives.

Whatever theme you’ve been tasked with you can find what you’re looking for, and a whole world more of exciting nursery and children’s room designs over at TotalWallcoverings.com.

If your little boy hasn’t specifically asked for Superman wallpaper it could be that he’s too small yet. Maybe you’re unsure of that choice but just feel that it’s a sure bet that all little boys go for Superman. Don’t bank on it because today, kids are full of opinions that sometimes perplex us. It might be better to put up a wallpaper that while stylish and appropriate for little boys, can quite easily accommodate the addition of superhero of choice later on.

A personal favorite is this Sailboats themed wallpaper. It is fresh and lively and will evoke an inspirational atmosphere.

Or there’s this Aircraft theme that will go beautifully with any superhero of your choice, or just look great on it’s own. Either design would work beautifully as a basis that can be built on later as you develop and add-to your child’s dream.

Your Very Own Wallpaper Mural

Time was when having a mural on your living room wall was an expensive undertaking often costing many thousands of dollars, because the only way to achieve it was was by hiring an artist or a traditional muralist.

Now, you can purchase the mural of your dreams for a very modest outlay, and the modern version has a number of advantages over the ways of old:

You will be able to see exactly what you’re getting before you decide to shell out
You can decide exactly how much you can afford to spend on your mural
If it doesn’t work it’s not so expensive, or so difficult to remove that you can’t take it down and start again

There is a wide range of murals available, and I’m pretty sure that some of them will take you by surprise. Take this Waterfall in Spring for example. What a wonderful place to visit every time you enter your room. Or, if you fancy enveloping yourself in luscious greenery, pick the Path Less Traveled.

Wall Mural Advice

Don’t be in a hurry to pick your mural. Make sure you spend some time looking at all the possibilities so you can pick one that is perfect for your setting and that evokes

17 Wallpaper Designs for Extraordinarily Beautiful Walls

The Toile de Jouy print originated in France in the 18th century, but quickly spread to the rest of Europe for its uniqueness and ability to create a warm and cozy, yet elegant atmosphere. A Toile print should ideally be used on every surface in the room: designers frequently paper the ceiling too to get the full effect. If you can’t find the matching print in drape fabric, pick a shade of plain that matches and try to use that in several key places. One more tip: Toile prints are monochrome for a reason: if you have such a busy print on so many surfaces in your room, don’t even think of introducing another color because you’ll spoil the Toile effect and your room will be overpowering. This Country French Toile in black and white would be perfect for our purposes. The black and white color scheme will be cozy, yet elegant, and can be used in any traditional setting.
While wallpaper typically conjures up images of traditional interior design, there is plenty to choose from if your design sensibilities fall firmly in the modern camp. This Polka Dots wallpaper, for example, comes in several different colorways and would be perfect with even the most minimal of schemes.
For most of us, the mere word ‘wallpaper’ conjures up images of damask. For some it is a pleasant concept, and when you look at examples like this Textured Damask Wallpaper from Westchester Prints, you get an impression of almost regal elegance. In an almost-monochrome setting this would be calming and anchoring for any scheme.
Wallpaper has even followed other decorating trends into the green arena: Grasscloth is not only an environmentally-friendly renewable resource, it’s a sure winner for your designer look! Add texture and beauty to any area of your home with Decorator Grasscloth Wallpaper.
Texture is a vital part of successful interior design and wallpaper is a perfect medium to introduce texture: This Tile Wallpaper is particularly convincing and far less expensive to install than the real thing!
Perhaps wallpaper isn’t associated with any other era so much as Victorian. Wallpaper was the rage during Queen Victoria’s reign and you can create the look with wallpaper so easily: Rose Trail Wallpaper would look impressive in a feminine bedroom setting with all the Victorian trimmings.
Decorating for a new baby is always a joyful task, but this Animal Crackers Plaid embodies joy itself. Despite a strong injection of color and a bold print, this particular design would look at home in a wide variety of nursery design schemes.
If you’ve always leaned towards the classic interior design look, but now you’d love to be a little more adventurous and up-to-date, transitional will bring you into the 21st century without leaving you out on a limb with the harshness that can sometimes by typical of ultra-modern interior design. This Harlequin print from Fairwind Studios will add atmosphere and texture to your up-to-the-minute monochrome setting: try it in different colorways for more than one area of your home.
There is perhaps no other decorating technique that can bring more of a theme impact than wallpaper. Today, golf is our theme! If a loved one is a golf fanatic, decorate their favorite room with A Round of Golf wallpaper by Design Studio and add a few carefully chosen accessories, and you have a golf-themed room in an afternoon.
Wallpaper is highly practical for the kitchen, and if you like to update this much-used living space, you will love the ease and practicality of wallpaper. You might like to cover one wall with fresh fruits to inspire you with this Chelsea Market print, or you might like to create a whimsy effect with this Chef Wallpaper Border, which actually goes beautifully with the Harlequin design we mentioned above. Then again, what about this gorgeous Blue Willow Wallpaper Border if you love the traditional kitchens of times gone by.
Wallpaper has been called a lot of things, but we bet you never thought about it as a tool for creating home links when family members leave the nest. Your college student will feel right at home if you add a touch of the familiar with a well-chosen wallpaper design. This Old World Map Collage Design would be perfect for that. Or what about this Antique Travel Wallpaper–just the thing for new beginnings.
If you love the Bohemian look, paisley wallpaper will create just the setting you’ve dreamed about. Transport yourself to a world of dreams with Fairwinds Studio Wallpaper. Although many paisley designs are heavily colored, this example would even look good in a design setting where Toile might be used.
There’s nothing like creating a fresh, spring feeling to uplift yourself on those days where you need a bit of a boost. To this end, there’s nothing quite like a fresh blue to lift your mood and make you feel renewed. Here’s another Paisley design in fresh blue from Sandpiper Studios. It would be wonderful in a bathroom, bedroom, or even a living room.
To get the traditional American country look, again there’s no match for a good country-print wallpaper. Farm Bouquets Wallpaper from Design Studio would make a wonderful foundation for your country design theme. To get the best effect, pick out a few accessories in one of the accent colors for a professional interior design look.
Still with the country theme, how about this Country French Wallpaper in a warm rust: it would make a delicious, intimate atmosphere for your dinging room.
Sometimes the most effective wallpaper effect is created by covering one wall with a mural. Create your own Island in the Sun with this aptly-named wallpaper mural!
My final tip for decorating with wallpaper is to create a chalk board for your child so that he or she has somewhere to scribble–it could save your other walls. This Sesame Street ABC Wallpaper is just the thing tohelp them learn!
