5 ideas for decorating your home with a strip of wallpaper
Somewhat neglected in favour of paint, wallpaper has made a comeback in recent years, making it a real decorative asset. Today, however, the trend is to use wallpaper strips as an original and more economical decorative element in their own right.
What is a wallpaper strip?
In interior decoration, a wallpaper strip is a self-adhesive or pre-pasted strip of wallpaper that does not require the addition of glue. Quicker to hang than traditional wallpaper, wallpaper strips can be used to decorate any room in the house, adding character and modernity.

Here are 5 ideas for decorating with a strip of wallpaper.
1/Delineate a space
Using a strip of wallpaper allows you to visually separate a room into two areas. The aim of this trick is to delimit an area without overloading it or losing volume. For example, in a shared children's room, the wallpaper strip simply creates two distinct worlds. But also in a master bedroom to delimit an office area if necessary or in the living room to easily separate the lounge area from the dining room.
2/Create a headboard with a strip of wallpaper
This is another great idea that allows you to easily obtain an original headboard, without cluttering up your bedroom. For a more beautiful effect, opt for a strip of wallpaper slightly wider than the bed, which you can hang up to the ceiling, and why not even overflow onto the ceiling, to give your decoration even more character.
3/ Dressing a piece of furniture
There is nothing better than using a strip of wallpaper to give a twist to the front and/or the inside of a piece of furniture that is a bit classic. It is indeed a clever idea to give a second life to a piece of family furniture that you are fond of and that you do not want to part with but that you have seen too much of. By choosing a top-of-the-range wallpaper model, your piece of furniture will look even better and will become a strong decorative element that will attract the eye. Be daring, decorating with a strip of wallpaper means using your creativity!
4/Decorate your doors
We don't always think about decorating the various doors in our house, but they can become real decorative elements in their own right. To do this, they are covered with a strip of patterned wallpaper that will also enhance the rest of your decoration, giving it more personality.
5/Use a strip of wallpaper as a credenza
When you say credenza, you mean water room. So beware of the specificities of rooms such as the kitchen and the bathroom, which require special precautions when using wallpaper. In fact, in these more humid spaces, it is preferable to use a washable, resistant and waterproof wallpaper. However, if you fall in love with a model that is not washable, don't worry, it is perfectly possible to protect it afterwards by applying a protective varnish (a washproofing agent) or by fixing a thin sheet of plexiglass directly onto the wallpaper strip.
As you can see, we are convinced by the idea of decorating your home with wallpaper strips. And we're not the only ones to have adopted this decorative trend, which allows you to bring modernity to your interior or to redecorate without taking too many risks. And if you get tired of it, wallpaper can be replaced more quickly than a classic wallpaper. So there's no reason to hesitate!
