10 Bedroom Wallpaper Ideas to Dress up Your Space

For many of us, the word ‘wallpaper’ evokes images of outdated, drab-looking rooms from the past. However, if you ask today’s interior designers how to inject a space with personality, there’s a good chance they will suggest wallpaper.
Whether simple and muted or ornate and bold, wallpaper has the power to transform a space from dull to captivating. While the application process is no mean feat, applying a beautiful wallpaper to your bedroom is an effective, inexpensive, and non-permanent way to completely change the feel of the room. It can add color, texture, and pattern to any style of home. Take inspiration from these 10 bedrooms that have been swathed in lashings of wallpaper.
