In this kitchen nook, the wallpaper plays a dual role as a captivating backsplash and artistic underpinning to the breakfast bar. Installing it in the two connected areas pulls the open-plan layout together while adding character to the minimalist cabinetry—and the gold wabi-sabi stripes bring a touch of shimmery sophistication. Hint: Many Perennials wall coverings are washable and fade resistant, making them durable enough to withstand the odd cooking splatter or shoe scuff.

Metallic details reflect natural light from the windows, illuminating an otherwise overlooked cutout under the bar counter.
When installing wallpaper in an inlay, leave a few extra inches on each side for adjustment. Then carefully trim the excess with a sharp blade for a neat finish that fits flush.
Instead of camouflaging an architectural quirk like this bathroom’s beam, use it as a canvas for showcasing a pop of cool pattern.
Layering prints on prints in the same color family achieves a curated (but not too serious) look. As this small space proves, half a wall is all you need to get started.
An accent wall with subtle texture adds just enough visual interest to become the perfect selfie spot.
If your modern kitchen cabinets are starting to look flat, this undulating print breaks up the monotony with beautiful irregularities.
In this petite bathroom, the bold wallpaper doesn’t just serve as a backdrop—it’s giving main-character energy. Spanning an architectural beam and an accent wall, the frond-forward paper livens up an otherwise muted marble space, while the earthy hues keep things grounded and pair well with most color palettes—cute checked towels and abstract bath mat included. Now morning showers and bedtime self-care rituals take place in a verdant sanctuary.
Your entryway isn’t simply a thoroughfare; it should bookend your day in style—and calls for a wallpaper that energizes without being overpowering. This handwoven raffia design feels fresh yet timeless (and more than a little Euro chic). Mix in vintage pieces, warm wood, and a few metallic accents to complete the pied-à-terre vibe. A patch of the same wallpaper applied to the nearby coat-closet-door inlays creates another artful moment—and sets the scene for an airy arrivals and departures zone.
When it comes to transforming a space, what can’t wallpaper do? Of course, you can use swaths for a uniform wall-to-wall look. But just a roll of the right motif will turn a mundane corner into a decor moment of your own making. Like the most satisfying before-and-after, a hint of color or a dash of pattern is capable of completely refreshing your interior’s POV.
