Wallpaper ideas – one wall, countless possibilities

Wallpaper on the wall and that’s it? You can do much more with wallpaper than you might think. Of course, you can use it to create a feature wall or cover an entire room. But beyond that? Our wallpaper ideas show that wallpaper is far more than just a simple wall covering.

Wallpaper ideas – these are your possibilities!

Wallpaper is not just a simple wall covering for one or more walls. Both traditional wallpapers and wall murals offer exciting design possibilities you may not have thought of yet. Here are some of your options:

• Wallpaper an entire room
• Create a feature wall with wallpaper
• Use wallpaper as panels (so-called wallpaper panels)
• Combine wallpaper with wall panelling or decorative mouldings
• Use photo wallpapers
• Apply round wallpapers as eye-catchers
• Hang wallpaper at half height
• Combine different wallpapers with each other

Half wall wallpaper: quick wallpaper ideas for the undecided

Wallpapering only half a wall has the advantage that the renovation effort usually remains manageable. There are so-called panel wallpapers, which work perfectly as a small accent. As self-adhesive wallpapers, the panels are very easy to apply, but there are also high-quality photo wallpaper panels that require a pasting brush or ceiling brush. You can even buy magnetic wallpaper panels.

However, even plain and pattern wallpapers do not necessarily have to cover an entire wall. You can also wallpaper around a corner, which is particularly suitable for corner sofas, corner desks, or kitchens.

Wallpaper ideas for a classic building charm: combining wallpaper with wall panelling and decorative mouldings

For that distinctive classic-building charm, it’s a good idea to combine wallpaper with wall panelling or decorative mouldings. Particularly appealing, though a bit more elaborate, is the combination of cassette-style wall panelling with a floral, vintage, or country-style wallpaper. Here, a more detailed, delicate pattern—such as a wild floral wallpaper—works best.

The panelling stops at half height, leaving the wallpaper above to create a real focal point. For those who want to avoid the effort of real wooden panelling, decorative elements made of polystyrene or plastic can also be used, which are now very easy to stick to the wall yourself.

Photo wallpapers: as a large-scale feature or for extending across the wall!

As wallpapers with large motifs become increasingly popular, manufacturers like A.S. Création now offer photo wallpapers that can be applied as a single large-scale design, or extended seamlessly across the wall if you purchase multiple rolls. At BRICOFLOR, you can find a wide selection of this mix of regular and wall murals. Markings and numbering, along with a high-quality non-woven backing, ensure the best wallpapering results.

Round wallpapers take your wallpaper ideas to the next level!

Round wall murals could also be a solution perfectly suited to your taste. They can appear on the wall like works of art and are ideal for highlighting specific areas of a room. For example, they work brilliantly as eye-catchers above the bed, designer sideboards, or over a desk or dining table.

Hang wallpaper halfway up the wall

Nowadays, there are also possibilities for half-height wall designs without panelling or decorative mouldings. At BRICOFLOR, you can find wood-effect wallpapers that are only about one metre high. The five-metre-wide wood-panel wallpapers are easy to apply and are also available in acoustic panel designs. These special wall coverings are particularly practical and cost-effective as wallpaper for kitchens or dining rooms in rental apartments, offering a great alternative to real wall panels.

Wallpaper ideas with different wallpapers: Mix & Match

Our advices are not limited to using a single wallpaper. For those who are bold, you can combine a patterned wallpaper with a matching plain wallpaper, creating a cohesive look with various patterns. It is often best to choose two wallpapers from the same collection, as they are usually perfectly coordinated in colour and design. Particularly appealing is the combination of floral or damask wallpapers with a striped wallpaper. These wallpaper ideas are reminiscent of English country houses, castles, and villas. However, a word of caution: if you want to implement these ideas, the rest of the interior should also be perfectly coordinated with the pattern mix.

Wallpaper ideas for the undecided: wallpapers in wall panel style

With these authentic wallpapers, you save the effort and cost of real wood panelling while getting a two-in-one wall covering!
