Using wallpaper in low-budget interiors is a fantastic way to add style and personality without the cost of a full renovation. Here’s how to get the best impact without overspending:
Best Ways to Use Wallpaper on a Budget
- Accent Walls
- Instead of wallpapering a whole room, cover just one wall to create a focal point and reduce costs.
- Use Peel-and-Stick Wallpaper
- These are usually cheaper, easier to install, and removable—perfect for renters or trial runs.
- Wallpaper Furniture or Shelves
- Add wallpaper to the back of a bookshelf, inside cabinets, or on drawer fronts for a pop of pattern.
- Frame Wallpaper Panels
- Treat sections of wallpaper like art—frame them and hang for inexpensive wall décor.
- Mix & Match Patterns
- Combine wallpaper with painted walls or use different wallpapers on small areas for a unique look.
- Shop for Clearance or Sample Rolls
- Check stores or online for discounted wallpaper or sample packs to save money.
- Use Wallpaper Borders or Strips
- Add strips or borders to walls, around windows, or ceilings for subtle style without covering entire surfaces.
