Where to Use Wallpaper:
Accents Walls
The days of floor to ceiling wallpaper are over- for a modern take on wallpaper is to add just a touch of wallpaper to a space and provide an accent or feature wall.
Bedroom Accent Wall: You can add a pop of color to the master bedroom with wallpaper behind the bed.

Bookshelves
If your bookshelves look unfinished, or you just want to add a little splash of color- you can add wallpaper with a temporary adhesive and give your bookshelves a little flare.

Drawer Lining
I like to add wallpaper in drawers as a pretty liner when I refinish desks and dressers. Makes the drawers look nice a finished on older pieces, and helps protect them.
Installation Types:
Temporary Adhesive: If you are installing wallpaper in small spaces such as bookshelves and drawers a temporary adhesive such as Elmer’s spray adhesive will keep the wallpaper in place, but also give you the ability to remove or replace it latter on.
Peel and Stick: A lot of wallpapers are made with an adhesive strip on the back which makes install a breeze.
Wallpaper Paste: Paste is the permanent and traditional way of applying wallpaper. If you are adding wallpaper to a larger area this is the most secure way to put it up.
Ideas and Patterns:
Faux Finishes: You can find wallpaper in an assortment of faux finishes such as brick, stone, and wood. Some of them are actually even in 3d and look very real. They actually can look pretty good, particularly in smaller areas like bookshelves.

Embossed: A lot of wallpapers are textured or embossed so they pop off the wall.

Paintable: Paintable wallpapers are great for the indecisive or those who like to change up their environment often. These papers are textured, and you can paint them any color you like.
