Not your Grandma’s Wallpaper Part 2

July 9, 2018 By houseofhargrove@gmail.com

One of my first blog posts ever (back when I blogged like 2 times a year) was called “Not Your Grandma’s Wallpaper”.  I talked about how much I used to hate wallpaper. . . you know, the fruit clusters, roosters, etc.  Now, there are so many beautiful options out there.  Several rooms in my home have wallpaper and I plan to do even more in the next home.  I have rounded up some beautiful examples of wallpaper inspiration that I hope will give you ideas how you can use it in your own decor.

WALLPAPER INSPIRATION

BUFFALO CHECK WALLPAPER

I am in love with buffalo check.  It is such a fun way to add pattern, but is still pretty neutral.  It is also timeless and classic.  This beautiful wallpaper is peel and stick and super affordable!  SHOP WALLPAPER HERE

 I love the way Erin from My Texas House used buffalo check wallpaper as a backsplash accent to her kids desk area.  Adds just the right amount of pop!

First of all this room is amazing.  I don’t have a dog, but I can imagine having a specific dog washing shower in a mudroom or laundry room would be the coolest.  They I love how they used this fun dog print paper.  Really adds charm to this room!  SHOP WALLPAPER HERE

I love everything about this space.  The windows, the chandelier and of course the wallpaper.  Comes in multiple colors.  SHOP WALLPAPER HERE

UNIQUE WALLPAPER IDEAS

I love this idea of using wallpaper on the stair treads.  It adds so much character.

Mornings in Malibu

If you just want to add a small pop of pattern, lining the backs of cabinets is also a great idea.  Here they used fabric and that is a great option for wallpaper.

A Lo and Behold Life

I hope you found lots of inspirational wallpaper ideas.  You can see how I have used wallpaper in my home HERE.

When designing our home I pulled inspiration from all over! Pinterest, Instagram, magazine, design books, etc. we had this long spot in our front entry that we were trying to figure out and when I saw this image (swipe to see) in @gilschaferthearchitect ‘s book it stopped me in my tracks. I loved the use of transoms and designated spaces. My architect @josephpaulhomes & his wife Michelle helped pull the whole look together. So happy with how it turned out.

My grandfather owned a grocery store in New Jersey. The scale hanging from the ceiling in our butler’s pantry was the scale in his store. My uncle had it for the longest time & gifted it to me when we moved into this home. I love it so much!! My mom has the cash register he used in his store in her home. I love decorating with items that have meaning & that tell a story.

I love hallways & nooks. They are a great way to add interest to your home. Natural light & details are key. This space connects our hearth room to the gameroom. The Dutch door goes out to our courtyard, the room at the end is my office and the door to the left (just out of the photo) goes to the pool bath. Lots going on in this space.
I saw this floor pattern in a design book & had to have it somewhere in our home. I love it so much!

Bathrooms are such a fun space to make bold choices. They are small so every decision & detail makes a big impact. Still in love with this wallpaper from @wallpapersgalore_

✨REMODEL UPDATE: FAMILY ROOM✨

This family room had good bones, but we needed to declutter , maximize storage, update furnishings & make the space more functional.

🤎comment SHOP for sources
➡️ swipe to see before & after photos

There was a wall of shelves that was just too much. We purged and decorated with items that she loved & had sentimental value. So many homes are built with tons of open shelving and you have to be really careful in these spaces because they can become a spot for clutter instead of being intentional. 
•added cabinet doors to 2 sections of shelves for some much-needed hidden storage.
•utilized the shelving that was separate from the other ones to make a designated bar space that is intentional and great for entertaining.
•found an gorgeous antique bar back to go against the wall that again is used as a bar when they entertain. Previously, it was a huge bench that took up width, but added no height to the wall. This is a major focal point in this space so we made it both functional and beautiful.
• I am not a huge fan of sectional couches unless they are in very specific areas. I think sometimes when people have a big room, they look for a big furniture to take up the space but it doesn’t actually give you the most seating and the spacing is sometimes awkward. They still really wanted a leather couch in there so we kept that, but then used more tailored chairs to frame the space.
• found this gorgeous coffee table on Facebook marketplace. Such a find!
•Removed the huge windmill fan that really took away from the gorgeous architecture of the ceiling with the beams.
•filled in dead space with functional furniture, like a cute table perfect for  game night.
•scaled back the TV so it made more sense over the fireplace and went with a frame one so there could be pretty art up there as it is a main focal point. (Art was off in this photo, but typically it looks like a vintage painting)

So excited with how this space turned out. It’s lighter, brighter, more functional & a better use of space. They have walls of windows along the back of the house with a beautiful view and now you’re able to focus on that more.

✨REMODEL UPDATE: DAUGHTER’S BATHROOM ✨

Throughout this remodel you will see two constant goals…brighten up the spaces & add functional storage. This bathroom was dark & dated. We took everything out and had a fresh start. 

🩵 comment SHOP for sources

•New paint, wallpaper, tile, fixtures, lighting, etc.
•Raised the height of the counters & some additional cabinetry extending up to the ceiling for much needed storage. 
•Added cute details to the side of the counters
•Removed the tub & added a glass door to the shower to make the space feel bigger & more open.

This sweet girl has brought us so much joy! We are “foster failures” & couldn’t be happier about it. Callie has been the best addition to our family.
Chat GPT made this cute art from our Christmas picture of her. She was living her best life with all the ribbon from the presents.

I love a mudroom! I don’t care what size house I live in from here on out I’ll always have some “mudroom” space…even if it’s a tiny little spot. It’s so great to have a drop zone to keep organized. This space got lots of use during our ice storm with all the wet shoes, etc & these brick floors were great!!

Feels strange getting back to work this week. We’ve been living in PJs and been asking what day it was for about a week now. Snowmageddon 2026 was fun & we still have piles of ice on the ground….BUT nice to go back to a bit of a routine. January felt like 47 days 🤪
