These Photos Will Make You Reconsider Wallpaper

As some of my previous home tour posts have suggested, I am sinking deeper and deeper in love with wallpaper every single day (Pinterest has undoubtedly fueled my newfangled obsession). And with so many apartment-friendly removable wallpapers available out there, papering up your walls is now possible even if you live in an apartment or rent any sort of property where permanent changes to the space are frowned upon by your landlord. I'm becoming more and more in love with the idea of installing this etched graphite forest mural from Anthropologie in the bedroom (although I don't think the S.O. would be on board with it, no matter how "removable" the wallpaper claims to be). Sigh.

No matter if you're going for fun, chic, edgy, or subtle, there is guaranteed to be a wallpaper out there perfect for your design needs. If you're still a non-believer in the power of papering your walls or if you're in need of some inspiration then this is a post you simply can't miss. Scroll on for an epic dose of inspiration and to shop my faves!

This green forest mural above from Rebel Walls is one of my all-time favorites. I've probably pinned about a dozen different photos of it, from the time that it was an adorable nursery to the day it transformed into a more calm, adult-centered space. I daresay it's the wallpaper that launched a thousand nurseries, and images of this room continue to be heavily circulated on Pinterest. Hands down, Emily Henderson and her design team are the CHAMPIONS of tasteful wallpaper.

I've tried the whole laying out your gallery wall on the floor first thing and no matter what, I always feel a need to rearrange things once it's actually on the wall. Which means that I've managed to put a fair amount of holes in the wall (sorry about it). I'd be terrified of trying to hang a gallery wall ON TOP of a wallpapered wall; once you make a hole in the paper it's permanent, so I have serious respect for this gallery wall above! It's a commitment, but it looks amazing.

Cassandra Lavalle is another designer whose home styling I can't get enough of (and she's local!). This attic space was recently renovated from a dressing room to a home office, and that wallpaper is without a doubt my favorite feature in the room. If you have the time I highly recommend popping over to her blog and seeing some of her previous One Room Challenge entries (as well as the kitchen remodel!). You won't be sorry.
