Adding Navy Wallpaper to Your Room

We have floor to ceiling beadboard installed in our master bathroom, as you can see here. I love the old home charm that it adds to the new bathroom remodel. When I was redecorating my bedroom into an English garden feel I bought some traditional wallpaper on a whim. Of course, I didn’t buy enough, so I had to make it work. I actually love the way it turned out and think this wall has even more charm than if it were all floral wallpaper. I decided if I did a beadboard accent on the bottom portion of the wall and used the floral wallpaper on top I could make the amount of wallpaper I had work. And I’m happy to say IT DID! Allow the paste to activate for 5 to 10 minutes. Your wallpaper will have instructions particular to it on the label, so refer to those for the timing needed. I would activate two strips at a time and once the first strip was hung, activate the next two so I could work continuously. Do not activate them all at once. You can’t move that fast through this process! Another idea I had for using that textured wallpaper was on our master bathroom walls. When the previous owner put the house on the market in 2005, he hired some” fly by night” workers/painters. There had been wallpaper on it but it was really old like late 1970’s and they tried to get it off but it was too time consuming and they were under time restraints so they just painted over it with latex paint. You can still see some of the wallpaper edges. I’ve either got to sand all the walls down or use a textured paint but thought about the textured wallpaper. Start with a plumb line. Do this by drawing a vertical line away from the corner or start point you will begin to hang the wallpaper. This line should be marked off at width slightly shorter than your paper so that you can run the edge of the paper down the line and over the beginning corner. Be sure to use a long level or hang a plumb line to start off straight and correct. Your whole project hangs on the straightness of this line! Trust me, your walls and corners are not straight on their own, so you have to find and make your own straight line.

I added a shelf rail to separate the floral paper up top and the beadboard wallpaper on the bottom third of the wall. If you are interested in that tutorial you can find it HERE!Here are the directions to hang your beadboard wallpaper. Honestly, the beadboard was a dream to hang compared to the floral. You won’t find a tutorial here for that floral wallpaper, it wasn’t impossible, but I wasn’t great at hanging it!

It wont hold up to too many paintings. The grooves are more shallow with the wallpaper vs. traditional beadboard. After painting the room a couple of times I think that those grooves will become less and less noticeable. The grooves make the beadboard, so that might be a issue in the far future. Finally, ‘ Shabby Love‘ used beadboard wallpaper to create that cottage look in her kitchen. She did walls and cabinets doors as well. Great makeover!

I worked with an apron on and it was a lifesaver on this project. That is probably one of my best tips for you! Wallpapering is a touch messy. Anaglypta and Lincrusta were the original textured wallpapers, founded in the late 1800’s. This Anaglypta paper is painted a deep teal. Photo by ‘ Dear Designer‘.

It looks a lot like the real thing. If I didn’t know it was wallpaper I would think that it’s the real thing. If you want the beadboard look, you’ll get it with this! We love beadboard! It’s so charming and timeless. Today I’m sharing my thoughts on traditional beadboard vs. wallpaper beadboard, the good and the bad. This dresser looked beyond repair in the before photos from Pamela Field via ‘ Hometalk‘. But she removed the warped veneer and gave this piece new life with some textured wallpaper and pewter paint. She tells you exactly how she renovated this piece in her tutorial. It has cool antiquey look! It dents and dings easily. It isn’t as hardy as I was hoping. Below is a photo of our guest room. The bedside table in the room scrubbed the wall lightly while I was moving furniture in the space and this is what I was left with. Sadly, it has happened in a couple of places in the room since I wallpapered it. It’s a bit frustrating because once wallpaper rips or dents there isn’t much you can do about it. Now you can use that last tutorial and be inspired by these next photos that use paintable textured wallpaper as the star of the room.

Can you install wallpaper on textured walls? 

Paint your wallpaper. I used a traditional paint roller and touch up brushes for the trim with a flat latex interior paint. Unfold your wallpaper – be very careful. This paper in particular had a tendency to rip in the beadboard crevices if I wasn’t careful.
