Wallpaper is inexpensive, being much cheaper than paint. It is preferred for its look rather than its feel, and there are a variety of designs available online which can be chosen based on your preferences. Here are some of the ways you can get creative with wallpaper.

Make small rooms look larger

There are two dimensional wallpaper designs, called trompe l’oeil (in French, this means ‘fool the eyes’) which give the appearance of being three-dimensional – these lend the room a feeling of space.

Color coordination

If the wallpaper is matched to the overall theme of your flooring/furniture, this creates a feeling of peace and order when someone steps in.

Cover up defects

If the ceilings are too high, the right wallpaper can avoid making someone in the room feel this way. If there are any imperfections in the wall, wallpaper can cover them up as well. You don’t need to wallpaper the entire room, or even the whole wall – you could wallpaper just a specific section of the wall.

Make each room look inviting

Wallpaper adds character to a room. You can have a different look and appearance of each and everyone one of your rooms. This can be a unique way of making your entire home look appealing in its own, distinct way. Not to mention that visitors will definitely appreciate what you have done.

Artistic effect

You can cut out squares/rectangles of different wallpaper and frame them up on your wall.

Backgrounds

You could use it as the background for your bookcase or shelf. This is guaranteed to make the shelf stand out against the wall.

Keep your furniture looking new

You can spruce up your table if it has a glass top (just make sure the wallpaper is placed beneath the glass top). Vinyl wallpapers can also applied to chairs, and changing them periodically keeps them looking fresh.
