I absolutely adore the color of this room. Wallpaper doesnot have to cover entire rooms and walls to be effective.
This room is a great example of utilizing wallpaper to
accentuate without covering all of the walls with it. If you
notice, this living room only has two panels of wallpaper.
The designer was clever in using the same color paint as
the wallpaper for the backdrop so the wallpaper blends
nicely. The white coffee table and fireplace is a good
contrast for this powerful shade of color.
Again, we see only one panel of wallpaper here. The panelof wallpaper has become the focus of the wall and the layout
of the furniture is centered around it. Great contrast of
yellow and gray.
Wallpaper can be used to cover bulletin boards such asin this office below. It blends perfectly as the wallpaper
used for the bulletin boards are the same pattern as the
rest of the room (with contrasting white walls.)
You can use wallpaper or reinforced wrapping paper tocover the back of a book case for some pop and pizazz.
Another example of a single wallpaper panel whichmatches the color of the curtains and the dishes on the
table.
Only wallpapering a recessed wallspace is a great way to go as well.
Bet you never thought of wallpapering the top of yourtable or end table? It's actually a great idea to give
some pattern to the top of a table.
Don't have enough money to buy and tile actual rocktiles? A pictorial wallpaper can give a great effect too.
Most people don't usually think to use wallpaper inthe bathroom, but this graphic wallpaper really works
well here.
Hope you were able to glean some ideas for wallpaper
and pattern from this post. Do you have any wallpaper
projects that you're thinking about?

These pictures are so inspirational. I love all the graphic designs and bold colors.
Great inspirational ideas - love the idea of wallpapering a recessed wall.
After a battle of stripping wallpaper at home, I gave up on them but these are great. I love them not covering the entire wall but being used as a focal point or highlighting some part of the home, as usual, love all the visual treat..and anyone of them is fine in my home :) Happy week ahead Karen.
