Wallpaper has a special way of bringing warmth and personality to a space. In our home we already have one wallpapered room — a powder bath with navy and white whale wallpaper — and it adds so much charm and character. I can easily imagine introducing patterned paper into our guest room or a guest bathroom once we reclaim those spaces, and I’ve even been dreaming of a grasscloth runner for the upstairs hallway.
We’re waiting for the remodel to finish and the upstairs flooring to be installed before making any final decisions, but the possibilities are exciting. Wallpaper can feel intimidating to those who remember the labor of removing old paper, and I’ve had that experience too while working on our 1930s English Tudor. Still, when chosen thoughtfully and applied in the right setting, wallpaper brings an approachable, finished look that feels both cozy and intentional.
Below are a few inspiring rooms that showcase how wallpaper can transform a space — from bold patterns to subtle textures. Take a look and imagine how similar ideas might work in your home.
Sunday Strolls + Scrolls is a series that highlights interiors and outdoor spaces I found while browsing the web. I look for rooms that feel like a sanctuary — places you’d happily wander through on a quiet morning or enjoy discovering during a relaxed weekend stroll. I hope these selections offer a little calm, inspiration, and fresh ideas for your own home.
