Awesome Creative Wallpaper Ideas for the Home You Might not of Thought of.
Creative wallpaper Ideas : Wallpaper is not just for walls it can be used on a variety of surfaces. Not only does it come in a array of fantastic designs and patterns, it is a pretty robust product that lends itself to lots of uses.
Wallpaper is great for turning the mundane into something rather more awesome. It’s a cheap and easy way to get that designer look. Also wallpaper is easy to change when you feel like something different and it’s wipeable.
One of the easiest ways to upcycle furniture for the home is with wallpaper.
I’ve rounded up some creative wallpaper projects you might or might not of thought of.
1. Wallpapered Fridge – Aunt Peaches
Peaches loved it so much that, she’s wallpapered her fridge twice.
2. The Kitchen Bin (trash can) – Pillarboxblue
Whilst your in the kitchen why not revamp your bin, you could even match it to the fridge. This is one of my most popular posts.
3. Wallpapered floor – Grillo Designs
I know it sounds crazy but it is doable. My friend Medina at Grillo Designs wallpapered her kitchen floor, it worked and she shows you how to do it.
4. Wallpaper Splashback (backsplash) – Pillarboxblue
Still in the kitchen, remember a couple of weeks back I showed how we created an awesome back splash for my friend Wendy’s kitchen using wallpaper.
5. Wallpaper kitchen stool- This Little Street.
Don’t forget your kitchen stool that can also be pimped with wallpaper.
6. Wallpapered Headboard – Martha Stewart
Don’t have a headboard, then you can create the illusion of one and add some glamour to your bedroom at the same time with wallpaper.
7. Wallpaper your plain wardrobes – Rocket St George
There are lots of wallpapered wardrobes around, but this one is so beautiful and colourful. Even though there is no tutorial I had to share it as it’s definately my favourite wallpapered wardrobe.
8. Wallpapered Chest of Draws – Swoon Worthy
Transform a boring old chest of draws into an awesome piece of furniture with some fantastic wallpaper. The tropical look is right on trend at the moment.
9. Wallpapered Light Switch Plates – Martha Stewart
You may not use wallpaper on the walls but there’s nothing stopping you from wallpapering the switch plates
10. Wallpaper Lampshades – Pillarboxblue.
It is so easy to wallpaper lampshades to match your decor.
11. Wallpaper Stairs – Pillarboxblue
An easy way to create a dramatic look to your entrance way is to wallpaper the stairs.
12. Wallpapered Dining Table – Pillarboxblue
Fed up with your dining table, can’t be bothered to paint it, why not make it a feature by wallpapering it. So simple to do and can be changed anytime.
As you can see there were a few of my own projects in this roundup as I love using wallpaper in my home. I have very little of it on my walls though. Which one is your favourite ? Mine is the wardrobe, the colours and the geometrics are awesome!
Many of these creative wallpaper ideas need a whole roll of wallpaper, but there are still plenty of crafting ideas for smaller wallpaper samples.

These are all such creative ways to use wallpaper! I NEVER would have thought to put wallpaper on my floor, but I actually really like that idea. I've been wanting to spruce up my kitchen for the longest time, and that might be fun and easy way to do it. I would definitely want someone to come and do it for me, though. Do you have any tips for finding someone who offers services like that?

Thank you ! You could always just ask your local friendly builder to see if he'd do it. My builder is used to me asking him to do things he hasn't done before.
