Steal This Idea...
...Bring some color and pattern into a bland rental with wallpaper. What's that you say? How can I consider wallpapering a rental when the landlord won't even let me paint?
Use a brightly colored wallpaper, even more fun if it happens to be vintage, to cover a sheet of plywood from Home Depot. Lean the plywood against the wall behind your desk to delineate an office space.
And what's great about this idea is that it's completely portable. Rest the wallpapered plywood behind your dining table and it looks equally great as a backdrop there.

Great idea!
ReplyDeleteThat is a genius idea - not only for renters but for people like me who have wallpaper phobia! A little color without a the commitment!
ReplyDeleteWaxy, you're absolutely right. If you're afraid to pull the trigger and put wallpaper up at home this will definitely work.
ReplyDeleteI *love* this idea, its definitely great for owners too, not just renters. And what a great way to make the most of some expensive wallpaper. Hmmm....
ReplyDeleteExcellent idea!! I'm definitely going to do this.
ReplyDeletewhat a fantastic idea! i've done something similar w/ fabric & a staple gun on canvas, but would love to experiment with wallpaper.
ReplyDeleteLovely!!! would also be excellent for a nursery especially when you have a little boy & girl sharing a room - have a pretty feminine print on one and a cool masculine print on the other! It is similar to an idea I had to use vintage wall paper to cover ugly sliding closet doors. Bravo
ReplyDeleteNicole, what a great suggestion. You have my head spinning with ideas. I love this idea for a shared children's room, especially if you can find a print that came in one more masculine and one more feminine colorway.
ReplyDeleteLove this idea. This would work brilliantly with wall mural wallpaper to create stunning OVERSIZED artwork/photography.
ReplyDeleteSo doing this in my bedroom!
