Guest Picks: Fun Wallpaper
This hand-painted wallpaper by artist Karen Combs caught my eye because of its bold blue color. Plus, I find the design to be intriguing.
This neutral-toned wallpaper covered in small fish is charming. I think it would look nice in a hall bathroom.
The exotic butterflies and tropical birds in this print entitled "Howletts" are beautiful.
This zebra wallpaper might be my favorite print of all time. It's so many things: bold, classic, elegant, unique and best of all, fun! It comes in many colors, so if this gold is too loud, be sure to check out the others in the collection.
I think "Best in Show" by Osborne & Little would be the perfect wallpaper for a mudroom or laundry room.
The bumblebees and polka dots on this print by Farrow & Ball are sweet yet sophisticated. I think this wallpaper would look great in an entryway, hall closet or kids' play area.
A reproduction of artist Saul Steinberg's wallcovering for Decorators Walk in the 1950s, "Aviary" is filled with fancy, colorful birds that would add character and charm to any space.
Adding a touch of Parisian chic is never a bad idea! I really like that this Paris-inspired wallpaper is lively but still subtle in color.
The soft blue and white hues in this wallpaper make it perfect for a nursery.
"Chiang Mai Dragon" by Schumacher is also one of my favorite wallpaper designs. While I'm not sure I'd ever be brave enough to use such a bold print in my home, it is just so pretty to look at that I couldn't leave it out of this list.
You'll be endlessly entertained by the 10 different owls drawn in this "Owls of the British Isles" wallpaper by artist Abigail Edwards.
This "Great Meadow" mural by Anthropologie is completely out of my price range, but it is too pretty not to share. Full of rich, vibrant colors, I think it would be beautiful in a sunroom or any space that you can sit back and enjoy its beauty.
I find the hand-drawn ocean waves in this wallpaper enchanting. I think it would look nice in an office or home library.
What could be more fun than coloring in your own wallpaper? While I think this was meant for a kids' room, I can see anyone of any age having a great time coloring in those frames.
I don't think there is a space more perfect for this pear-themed wallpaper than the kitchen. It's rather bold, but I think it would give the space a bistro-like feel.
This "Word Play" wallpaper by York Wallcoverings would be a fantastic addition to any study or office.
I really like this "Coronata Star" wallpaper by Osborne & Little. I think it would be fun to try it out on the ceiling of a room. It comes in different colors as well.
This "Zimba" print by Schumacher would add a modern twist to any space.
Named "Architectural Drawing," this wallpaper is somewhat busy — but very elegant close up. If it feels like there is too much going on for your liking, I'd suggest using it on an accent wall with lighter furnishings and decor.Next: 11 Ways to Roll With Wallpaper All Over the Home
