Have some wallpaper left after the renovation? Don’t throw it away! If it has a nice print, I got a lot of ideas to give it a use around your home!

Wallpapered Ceilings

Accent ceilings came back to the list of trends several years ago and since then they are totally on. You may accent the ceiling using bright paint, various panels or just attaching bright or printed wallpaper. Such a solution is a great idea for any space except for the smallest ones – a bright ceiling can make it look smaller but you may still use light-colored wallpaper then.
