- How I Really Feel About Our Wallpapered Dining Room
The main reason I continually choose to wallpaper accent walls (versus painting an accent color or wallpapering the entire room) is that you get a lot of bang for relatively littlebuck. A wallpapered accent wall provides a stunning and impactful transformation, yet it only costs slightly more than a gallon of paint. (As a rule, I try to keep my wal...
When I first laid eyes on our current dining room, I instantly knew it was the perfect space for bold wallpaper because: 1. The historical, traditional style of the housewould be complimented (and even amplified) by the right pattern on the walls. 2. The (huge) size of the room(including 9 foot ceilings) felt like a big, white box. I knew it would ...
The Cost
Okay, let’s get this one out of the way because it’s a biggie. Without a doubt, wallpapering an entire room requires a lot more wallpaper than a single accent wall, which (obviously) involves more money. This may seem obvious, but until you start calculating how many rolls you need and see it tally up in your cart, the added cost may not quite hit home. Let’s do a really basic comparison.

The Time Commitment
Once you get the hang of installing wallpaper, doing a feature wall is very much an afternoon project. Perhaps even a 1-hour project depending on the size of the wall.

Admittedly, our dining room is large, with very tall ceilings; but it took me about a week...

Conversely, when every wall within a room needs to be covered in wallpaper, you will undoubtedly have to navigate corners, outlets, windows, door frames, bump outs, light switches, and other room features…all while matching up wallpaper patterns and seams. These room features make the...
I can’t answer that for you, but here are some questions that can help you make the best choice for your home: 1. Can you “get away” with wallpapering just one wall of the room? Is there a natural focal point of the room or is a full-room installation really necessary for the pattern/layout to make sense? 2. Can you afford it?Considering the cost o...
Alright, let’s get really real here! From an aesthetic perspective, I could not love our wallpapered dining room MORE! Wallpaper was absolutely the right style choice for this home and this room, and an accent wall simply was not an option because of how the room is laid out.
