In the bedroom...does wallpaper work?

8 years ago

last modified: 8 years ago

Hi houzz

I'm renovating my apartment - starting with the bedrooms. I've seen lots of great wallpaper been used in living rooms, but not much wallpaper in bedrooms.

Does it work in bedrooms? I'm thinking maybe just a feature wall...

Yes..but subtle.

Yes! a BIG statement.

No....

Since the bedroom is a place where you generally rest i'd keep the wallpaper colours neutral. But its definitely a great way to add character and texture on the walls.

Go big or go home. Ok you are already at home so have the best of both worlds.

I opened my earlier post to edit the paint name in case you ever want to paint non-tufted, no-nap fabric. Unfortunately, my cat Linguine loves the binging and bonging sounds of the computer when he stands on the keyboard. Not helpful. It disappeared so... here is the name: Simply Spray Fabric Paint for Upholstery. (They have your charcoal gray) It did not make the fabric crunchy, stiff or weird. Nobody wants crunchy, stiff, or weird :-) Again, I would not paint the fabric on your gorgeous bed but I would change the wood color. The black edge and empty white room are the reasons it looks heavy. If you paint the black, I would suggest using an artist brush on the edge that meets the fabric even with fabric covered. House or painter's brushes are too wide for good control in that tight space. They are not as flexible as artists brushes nor as small. The Paris bed I mentioned was gray velvet and soft matte metallic gold wood. Soft, romantic, dreamy and transporting to a world of Princesses and Kings. If you keep the purple, I vote for gold or silver wood but NOT high gloss.

What do you think of a mirror for the backsplash on the kitchen? You cant see the pic here, but it faces a huge window on the other side of the room. I love the idea of grey/ dark cabinets, (with a wood coloured surface worktop) but might cost a small fortune to rework it. Will check on prices. The wallpaper idea is also really nice - much to mull through. so hard to decide! I'm thinking of replacing the dining table set with a booth + round table seating and maybe add a mirror behind it space. Not sure if i can fit a whole L booth into the dining space and still fit in a table, so might just settle for a booth on one side.

You need something more OTT. How about a totally Baroque, glossy black, ornate oval? See "18" Baroque mirror" in Houzz Shop for examples. (Some are lime green- ignore that. :-))

I like the industrial scandi-look in the first one... Makes the room feel calm and clean!

Wallpaper and wall decals are fun! I've loved this bedroom over and over again and it's definitely the wall that draws me in.

Wallpaper as a feature wall sooooo works!

Love it- Wall paper can be a fun creative way to express your style and brighten up any dull space!
