Remodeling Our Eating Room with Wallpaper

After we bought this house, 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, fashionable wallpaper that includes monkeys. Once I shared it in my empty house tour video, many individuals commented that we must always maintain the monkey wallpaper. To me, that’s the stunning factor about wallpaper—it may be so wildly private and expressive!

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

I thought of lots of totally different papers, cautious to examine each adorned with Halloween, Christmas, or children 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. If you’re buying from a spot like Anthropologie that doesn’t have samples, discover the wallpaper elsewhere that does supply them. It’s all the time price the additional $5-$10 per pattern to see them in particular person. I maintain a group of samples as a result of generally I discover a house for a sure sample in a while as effectively.

• Think about the dimensions and options of your property. Massive scale prints look nicer in massive open rooms, whereas tremendous tight repeats can look nicer in smaller rooms. I all the time 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 lots of angles want extra forgiving patterns in order that it’s much less noticeable.

• Think about the period of your property. For my historic house, I wish to use patterns that might have existed on the time it was constructed. Extra fashionable and funky patterns I believe are a greater match for newer or mid-century properties. It’s price contemplating if you could find a wallpaper choice you like that fits the period of your property. After all, it’s your property and the ultimate name is yours—so select what speaks to you and what you understand you’ll get pleasure from for a very long time.

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

• Many wallpaper installers won’t set up peel and stick wallpaper, so you should definitely examine. I strongly want conventional wallpaper over peel and stick except it’s for a really small house (possibly lining cabinets or a closet). I’ve had lots of points with peel and stick wallpaper by way of the years that I’ve not skilled with conventional wallpaper.

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