Remodeling Our Eating Room with Wallpaper

Once we bought this dwelling, we immediately fell in love with this little nook that options unique built-ins. It’s such a joyful, sunny house and I couldn’t wait to brighten it!

The room was beforehand wallpapered with a unusual, trendy wallpaper that includes monkeys. Once I shared it in my empty house tour video, many individuals commented that we should always hold the monkey wallpaper. To me, that’s the stunning factor about wallpaper—it may be so wildly private and expressive!

I knew I needed a wallpaper that felt heat and comfortable— nearly an autumn-year-round type of vibe. I additionally needed a paper that may very well be from the period when our dwelling was constructed, in 1904.

I thought-about a whole lot of totally different papers, cautious to check every one adorned with Halloween, Christmas, or youngsters birthday celebration decorations. I ended up selecting this Medlar pattern. The floral sample felt the right mixture of cozy, inviting and historic.

What to Think about When Selecting Wallpaper for Your Eating Room

• At all times purchase wallpaper samples. Wallpapers might be totally different in particular person than they seem on-line. In case you are buying from a spot like Anthropologie that doesn’t have samples, discover the wallpaper someplace else that does supply them. It’s at all times value the additional $5-$10 per pattern to see them in particular person. I hold a set of samples as a result of typically I discover a dwelling for a sure sample in a while as effectively.

• Think about the dimensions and options of your property. Giant scale prints look nicer in huge open rooms, whereas tremendous tight repeats can look nicer in smaller rooms. I at all times ask the recommendation of my wallpaper installer for whether or not or not they suppose a sample will look good in an area. Rooms with a whole lot of angles want extra forgiving patterns in order that it’s much less noticeable.

• Think about the period of your property. For my historic dwelling, I need to use patterns that might have existed on the time it was constructed. Extra trendy and funky patterns I feel are a greater match for newer or mid-century properties. It’s value contemplating if you’ll find a wallpaper possibility you’re keen on that fits the period of your property. In fact, it’s your property and the ultimate name is yours—so select what speaks to you and what you realize you’ll get pleasure from for a very long time.

• I at all times use knowledgeable installer. In my expertise, the value of the wallpaper is commonly about equal to the value of the installer’s labor. So, a big room with a lot of angles may cost a number of thousand {dollars} for set up and a small room, like this breakfast nook, is usually underneath $1,000 for set up. The rationale I at all times use knowledgeable is as a result of I’m not a perfectionist and this job requires precision and talent. To me, it’s value it to rent knowledgeable for this job.

• Many wallpaper installers is not going to set up peel and stick wallpaper, so you’ll want to verify. I strongly choose conventional wallpaper over peel and stick except it’s for a really small house (perhaps lining cabinets or a closet). I’ve had a whole lot of points with peel and stick wallpaper by the years that I’ve not skilled with conventional wallpaper.

Right here’s how the wallpaper turned out in our breakfast nook. I like the way it accents the unique built-ins and large home windows. It’s such a heat and pleasant house!
