Decorating with Wallpaper-how I use it in my home

January 5, 2016 By houseofhargrove@gmail.com

Today I am sharing my love for decorating with wallpaper and how I use it in my home.  I used to hate wallpaper!  I associated it as old lady, matchy matchy (you know the kind…the border matched the faux floral arrangement in the middle of the table, type of thing), but not any more!  Wallpaper has changed so so much from back in the day and now I think it is an awesome way to add interest, character and really transform a room.

I have wallpaper in many areas throughout my home and get asked about them all the time.  Here are all the details…

OFFICE:  

Originally I wanted to do a real wood planked ceiling.  When I started looking at the pricing it was way over what I wanted to spend.  It also added too much bulk to the ceiling and I didn’t want to have to replace the crown molding.  When I found this wallpaper I knew it was the answer.  The price was great and it was so much easier.  In person you honestly cannot tell that it is not real wood.  I put it right over our orange peel textured ceiling so it adds a little texture adding to the over all effect.  I am so so happy with it!

Get it HERE or HEREwallpaper IMG_4849

FAMILY ROOM:

I wanted to add a little bit of interest in the nook where I have our TV.  Wallpaper was the perfect answer.  I got one that is almost the same color as my paint, but had a geometric design for a little added interest.

You can get it at Lowes HERE

GUEST ROOM

This is my all time favorite wallpaper EVER!  It was a splurge, but with how much it adds to the room it was really not that expensive.  The details are just amazing, it covers an entire wall so I didn’t have to buy any other decor and it is such a statement!  This was my Joanna Gaines moment before I knew who she was 🙂

You can get it HERE or HERE

POWDER BATH

This is the powder bath we have downstairs and I wanted something bold in here.  This is actually fabric hung on the wall.  I couldn’t find any wallpaper that I loved, but I fell love with this fabric so I went with it..  It turned out great!

You can get the fabric HERE

I will be doing another post on wallpaper soon and showing lots of creative ways to use it!  A huge part of decorating is the details and wallpaper is a good way to get huge bang for the buck!

This little nook is the entry into our primary bedroom, and it is very functional. I designed a full wall of built-ins to store extra bedding and have an easy place to tuck away throw pillows when the bed isn’t made.

When we were building, we really tried to think through how we actually live—creating a place for everything so staying organized is easy.

✨REMODEL UPDATE: PRIMARY BEDROOM✨

🤎comment SHOP for sources
➡️ swipe for before & after

This room got a full facelift. 1st thing…the tile needed to go. I’m not a fan of tile in a bedroom. We carried the wood floor throughout & that alone made a HUGE difference.
Next we updated the doors and added some applied picture molding to the walls. This is an inexpensive way to really elevate a space. A lot of times people don’t know what to do with blank walls so they fill them with art. I wish I had a good before picture of this room before we took everything off the walls. There were so many mix matched art pieces with sayings, etc. to fill the space. Sometimes less is definitely more and trim finishes a space while simplifying it.
Lastly we just updated the decor. We found all the furniture on Facebook Marketplace. 
We also removed a bunch of furniture from this room.
One major theme in this entire home remodel was less is more.

🌴SPRING BREAK🌴
We headed to LA for the 1st part of Spring Break & had so much fun.

•spent a day at Universal Studios
•enjoyed Santa Monica, the pier, the beach, 3rd st promenade 
•explored Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, Melrose, the Grove, Sunset, Hollywood, Taylor Swifts house…we packed a lot in
•got to see a taping of America’s Got Talent. It was so much fun seeing the acts live, hearing the judges feedback & we even saw 1 person get a golden ticket!! The show will air in June, but will be a fun season to watch.

It was a great trip & we still have several more days to enjoy the break at home!

✨REMODEL UPDATE: POWDER BATH✨

This bath got a huge cosmetic update & reconfiguration.
It had a very awkward angle in the corner that kind of threw off the space. We disguised it with custom cabinetry and a faux panel. This added useful storage, design & now you’d never know there was a strange angle. 

🤎comment SHOP for sources

Some fun wallpaper, paint, counter details, hardware & sconces finished off this great space.

Now functional & beautiful.
