Some design trends come and go. Wallpaper? It’s having a full-blown renaissance—and we’re 100% here for it.
When used well, wallpaper can add mood, movement, and character to a space in a way paint never could. But it also walks a fine line. So how do you know when it’s just enough... and when it’s too much?
When Wallpaper Works
✅ In Small Spaces
Think powder rooms, closets, entryways. Wallpaper makes these tiny spots feel thoughtful and full of personality.
✅ As a Feature Wall
One patterned wall behind a bed, sofa, or dining table creates instant drama—without the commitment of full coverage.
✅ On the Ceiling
It’s unexpected, high impact, and great for creating intimacy or adding a playful moment.
✅ When It Ties a Room Together
Use wallpaper to echo colors, textures, or motifs already in your decor for a truly layered look.
When Wallpaper Is Too Much
🚫 Every Wall, Every Room
Too many competing patterns can make a home feel disjointed and overwhelming.
🚫 Massive Prints in Open Spaces
Unless you're working with a designer who can balance scale, large spaces + bold patterns = design overload.
🚫 When It’s Trendy, Not You
Love it now, hate it in six months? That’s the danger of going all-in on a trend that doesn’t reflect your actual taste.
Why We’ll Always Love Wallpaper
Wallpaper is more than a surface—it’s a feeling.
It brings in story, charm, texture, and a sense of place. Whether it’s an elegant floral, a playful animal print, or a minimalist linen texture, it makes a house feel personal and complete. It creates moments—those little design details that surprise and delight.
In short: it’s the one design move that can totally transform a space… without knocking down a single wall.
