Simple Weekend Project: Framed Wallpaper

By Kaitlyn Jenkins

Brighten up your bare walls with a splash of colorful wallpaper in a coordinating frame. You may choose to have a single frame or collage of multiple frames (all different shapes and sizes), depending on your preference, or a room’s theme.

You’ll need:
– Picture frame (any size, any quantity desired)
– Wallpaper (coordinating with the frame size and color)

Framed wallpaper is versatile, and looks good in any shape or size. This vertical example serves as an attractive divider between two chairs.

If you’re going for a “wow!” effect in your home, choose a large frame with wallpaper that coordinates with a room’s accent components.

Create a collage display by purchasing different-sized frames and different-colored paper samples.
