How To Revamp Your Wallpaper Style
Wallpaper has been a decorating staple for as long as we can remember. Recently, though, wallpaper has gotten a revamped look: we’re seeing mural style photographs, prints, and patterns acting as wall coverings, and we think it looks great. Embellished wallpaper like this can really transform a space into something spectacular.
Why cover your walls in plain wallpaper when you can choose a beautifully patterned one instead? Below, this beige and white wallpaper pattern is the perfect answer to a small bathroom space, and complements the dark wood vanity perfectly.

We’ve also seen photographs and sketches acting as creative wallpaper. Below, a photo has been enlarged to cover the entire wall in a life-like mural style. The design brings the outside in, making the room feel large and open.

Maps, too, make a great wallpaper alternative. In this light and breezy nautical space, a map of the home’s surrounding area and ocean is used as a creative and fitting wall covering.
