Gone are the days when wallpaper spread in every room of the house. Today we opt more often for painting, even leaving it a little. And yet! Specialists sell sublime wallpapers with shimmering colors and gun designs. The ransom of success is that their price is often high. The solution ? Bet on a single piece of wallpaper, glued to a strategic location to give a touch to its decor. We show you how to do it.

In which room to rub?

The answer is simple. On the style side, you can stick paper in any room of the house. On the practical side, on the other hand, the specificities of certain pieces impose some precautions. In the bathroom, for example, a place suitable for children's water games and relaxing baths, a room where the humidity level can be high , we must choose a washable wallpaper that combines resistance, waterproofness and maintenance. easy. In the kitchen too, it's better to be cautious about splashing. If you want to drop a wallpaper as a credence, again, better to choose a leachable model. Better yet, to protect it you can put a plexiglass plate. We fall for a model that is not leachable? Do not panic, we transform it by applying a protective varnish.

Wallpaper, strategic choice

• on a small wall : ok, it will take more than 1 lé of wallpaper. But a roll is not enough! The idea is to highlight a small wall by dressing it. An option we love in the nursery , a room often narrower than a classic room.
• to delimit the spaces in a multifunctional room the wallpaper does the job! On the landing, in the room / office, where even in a teenager room, a few wallpaper strips can delineate the work space smoothly.

And when we get tired? Two wallpaper strips are faster to remove and replace than a whole wall! As for falls, we recycle them advantageously in our decor!
