Wallpaper has made a serious comeback in recent years. From bold murals to delicate prints, the options are endless and the results can be breathtaking. But before you start envisioning a papered powder room, it\u2019s important to be prepared.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything you need to know as a beginner, so your wallpapering project is as seamless as it is stylish.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not like the \u2018old days\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019ve ever heard your parents (or grandparents) tell stories about their struggles with stubborn wallpaper paste, you\u2019ll be relieved to know that things have changed for the better! Modern wallpapers often come in peel-and-stick options, making them perfect for renters or first-timers. There are also user-friendly adhesives available that offer improved durability, ensuring the wallpaper stays put on your walls while still being easily removable when needed.<\/p>\n

Fashion vs. function<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Not only has the wallpaper-papering process evolved, but the aesthetic has too. Today\u2019s wallpaper designs are available to match all interior styles, from bold prints and textures, to subtle and sophisticated.<\/p>\n

When it comes to choosing wallpaper for your home, it\u2019s important to understand that not all wallpapers are created equal. Different areas of your house have unique needs, and wallpaper types vary in material, design, and functionality to suit those needs. Here\u2019s a guide to help you make informed choices:<\/p>\n

Wallpaper varieties by material<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Vinyl wallpaper<\/em>: Durable and moisture-resistant, this type is ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and high-traffic areas. It\u2019s easy to clean and can withstand humidity.<\/li>\n
  • Non-woven wallpaper<\/em>: A breathable option, great for living rooms or bedrooms. It\u2019s easy to install and remove without damaging walls.<\/li>\n
  • Fabric wallpaper<\/em>: Luxurious and textured, often used in formal spaces like dining rooms or bedrooms to create a sophisticated ambiance.<\/li>\n
  • Textured wallpaper<\/em>: Adds depth and can mimic materials like brick or wood. Perfect for covering minor wall imperfections or adding character to accent walls.<\/li>\n
  • Peel-and-stick wallpaper<\/em>: Temporary and renter-friendly, great for accent walls or kids\u2019 rooms where tastes may frequently change.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Choosing wallpaper for different areas<\/strong><\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Kitchens and bathrooms<\/em>: Choose vinyl or washable wallpaper that resists moisture and is easy to clean.<\/li>\n
    • Hallways and staircases<\/em>: Durable, high-quality wallpaper that can handle frequent contact is a must while adding style to transitional spaces.<\/li>\n
    • Kids\u2019 rooms<\/em>: Look for playful patterns in the peel-and-stick variety since it\u2019s easy to update as they grow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Current wallpaper trends<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      Wallpaper trends are all about bringing personality into your home. The distinctions between trends seem to be as varied as personalities are, naturally. A few of the top wallpapering trends for 2025 include nature-inspired designs,\u00a0 eclectic prints, geometric monochrome patterns, panoramic murals (accent walls are out!) and dark and moody walls.<\/p>\n

      One of the\u00a0 most unique trends in the wallpaper world this year is papering the ceiling (the \u20185th<\/sup>\u00a0wall\u2019) and using wallpaper as a piece of artwork hung in large statement frames, as opposed to a full wall covering.<\/p>\n

      The process<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      Once you\u2019ve committed to wallpapering your home, there are a few non-negotiables to be aware of to ensure the process runs as smoothly as possible:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Prep your walls: Ensure surfaces are smooth, clean, and dry. Patch up any holes or imperfections for the best results.<\/li>\n
      2. Measure accurately: Wallpapering requires precision. Measure your space\u00a0at least<\/em>\u00a0twice and always purchase an extra roll for mistakes or future repairs.<\/li>\n
      3. Test the pattern: Wallpaper samples are readily available at more retailers and can help you visualize how a design will look in your space. Note \u2013 Patterns can appear different in natural versus artificial light.<\/li>\n
      4. Start small: If you\u2019re new to wallpapering, try a small room or framed design before tackling larger spaces.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        When to hire a professional<\/strong><\/h2>\n

        While DIY can be satisfying, hiring a professional ensures a flawless finish, especially for more intricate designs or challenging spaces like staircases and ceilings. Professionals also have the tools and expertise to handle wallpaper paste, complex cuts, and pattern matching, leaving you with a polished and stress-free result.<\/p>\n

        A final note<\/strong><\/h2>\n

        Although wallpapering can be seen as a more advanced project to take on without experience, it has become much more user-friendly over the years, thanks to peel-and-stick options and easily removable adhesives.<\/p>\n

        Being mindful of the tips in this wallpapering guide, you can have the confidence and know-how you need to take on this creative journey, designing a space that\u2019s uniquely yours.<\/p>\n
