Off the wall: Other ways to use wallpaper
While wallpaper has made a huge comeback on many wall surfaces around the world, there are some things to do with wallpaper other than apply it directly to a wall. Have some leftover wallpaper from a project or just looking for a few fun DIY project ideas? Well, here you go…
- Consider buying a roll (or two) of a wallpaper that has a great pattern (or use leftovers) and frame it. It makes gorgeous hanging art! Below you’ll see that a Vastu designer did this in the model unit at luxury apartment rental building, View 14, in DC.

If you want to go bold in your home, Wall & Deco may be the answer. Their wallpaper is the combination of creativity and amazing photography. Wall & Decò doesn’t use the same schematic motif repeated over and over. It is instead a reproduction of photographical images on a large scale that create a big statement on a wall surface.

Design Direction
Do you have a challenging space or need some design guidance? Design Direction is a chance for you to submit photos or videos of your design challenge(s) and a Vastu interior designer will provide you with some help. Every Wednesday we will feature one reader’s submission.
“Hello designers, I need your help. The original design of my dining room was pretty traditional, but I’m ready to change things up a bit. I’m thinking of wallpapering the space, but I’m not sure what to do since I have chair railing (which I want to keep). Should I do paper below the rail and not above, above and not below, or above AND below. Would love your thoughts. Thanks!”
