How To Style with Paintable Wallpaper

A fun and unique way to add texture and interest to your home is with wall treatments, which are not always budget friendly.

In our own home, we have added texture with trim work in many different ways, mostly using MDF to save money. You can see some simple tips on installing trim here!

But we just discovered an even easier and affordable way to add high end style to our primary bedroom with the use of paintable wallpaper.

The textured patterns of paintable wallpaper offer a vintage/old world vibe that I just adore!

We chose a beadboard pattern wallpaper from Lowe's for our primary bedroom to give the illusion of actual wainscoting or beadboard, but without the need for expensive supplies or power tools!

We installed it just like regular wallpaper and waited at least 48 hours for the paste to dry before painting it with traditional latex paint. Stay tuned to see what color we chose!!!

Why should I choose Paintable wallpaper?

• Adding texture and pattern to your space with paintable wallpaper is an affordable way to make a big impact in a space.

• Adding vertical lines like wainscoting wallpaper helps to give the illusion of a taller, larger space.

• Incorporating texture to your space can create a cozy, inviting vibe.

• Depth and Dimension create a sense of luxury and style in a space.
