All About Wallpaper- Wallpaper Sources, FAQ and Hanging Wallpaper (New backdoor Wallpaper)

I might have an addiction to wallpaper. I just LOVE how it transforms a space and instantly adds charm and character. I wasn’t looking to wallpaper, (I think wallpaper finds me) but once I saw the checked wallpaper, I instantly knew it would look so good and really complete the area by our door. Sharing that freshly wallpapered area today! I also compiled some of my favorite wallpaper that we have in our home, wallpaper I have used in makeovers and just some really cute wallpaper sources! Keep reading to the end of the post for tips on how to install wallpaper.

Wallpaper by Back Door-

I like how wallpaper helps to define an area. We had recently installed the shiplap, but still needed something to join the other side. After adding the checked wallpaper, it now feels like a little room, a mudroom!

We didn’t install the checked wallpaper over the door to the office, and one of you commented asking why we didn’t do that spot. I honestly didn’t notice it! Now it feels complete!

I also get asked how to pick wallpaper so it flows from room to room. My biggest tip is to go with different patterns. I wouldn’t do two floral wallpaper patterns right by each other. The floral in our office plays off the checked with colors and different patterns.

Common wallpaper questions-

Q– Can wallpaper go on top of textured walls? A– It depends on the wallpaper, some wallpaper will tell you in the description. Try to order a sample to test it out first! I recommend using a pattern to disguise the texture.

Q– Does temporary wallpaper damage your walls? A– In all of my experience, no! But each wallpaper manufacture is different. So check with them.

Q- How do you measure for wallpaper? A- This online calculator is very helpful, you can find HERE. Most online calculators don’t factor in the pattern repeat (that one does). Be aware that sometimes when you order wallpaper it could only come in a double roll. So if you are doing a small section you might not want to do a wallpaper that only comes in a double roll. If you have a lot of weird angles and cut outs it might be worth it hire someone to hang the wallpaper, and a lot of times if they are going to hang it they will come measure the space for you.
