This put up shares set up a brick wallpaper accent wall in a master suite (or wherever you need some architectural curiosity.) Including an accent wall on the headboard wall actually energizes an area and makes it really feel utterly totally different.This challenge is available in at lower than $300.

We’ve got been mulling over our master suite ever since we moved in right here 5 years in the past. We’ve carried out so many initiatives in our builder’s beige home and as soon as we acquired it arrange, we haven’t carried out a lot else to it. I painted the partitions the identical colour as our principal colour in the home, Gatherings by Magnolia House. I did get the bedding assembled and altered out the Euro shams for larger ones alongside the way in which, however we knew we needed so as to add one thing on the headboard wall.

That is how the bed room has appeared for many of our 5 years right here. Nothing improper with it, but it surely was lacking a wow issue.

We talked about doing one other field molding remedy right here and portray it a colour. However since we did the image body molding within the sitting room, we actually didn’t wish to repeat it. We additionally checked out actual brick pavers which might be messy, time consuming and costly. We figured it will value over $1500 to do that wall, plus the mess it will make didn’t thrill us. So Mark began performing some analysis on brick wallpaper and located this very practical model from Woodchip & Magnolia out of England. This sample is named Wayoh and we cherished the colour of it. He ordered two variations, one with grey grout and one with white and the white one received us over. This challenge isn’t sponsored, however we undoubtedly suggest the paper.

We taped it up for a couple of months and determined to deal with it and Mark ordered the paper and we’ve had it sitting for awhile ready to get to this one. Properly, it’s Christmas so why not leap right into a challenge the week earlier than Christmas?

We pulled the mattress out sufficient that we may get a step ladder behind it and first cleaned out the mud bunnies that had moved in behind the mattress and nightstands.

On a aspect observe, how does that occur and why is it SO unhealthy again there? It’s simply terrible so one perk was all of it acquired cleaned up. We pulled the nightstands out so we may get behind the mattress. I took the lead on this challenge since I’ve carried out wallpaper a couple of instances and Mark assisted me. It undoubtedly helps to have 2 folks on a challenge like this.

Instruments Wanted to Wallpaper:

A sq.

Degree – we made certain the primary piece was stage as we began in order that we didn’t have points in a while. Generally corners aren’t utterly plumb, however ours was fairly good.

Pencil

Scissors

Reducing instrument

Wallpaper smoothing instrument (pictured beneath)

Small curler for rolling on the paste

Small paintbrush to get alongside edges for the paste

Small bucket of water with sponge

Paste the wall – Wallpaper paste

That is the Solvite paste the wall wallpaper paste (affiliate hyperlink) we acquired. It labored nice. It has a gel like consistency and went on the partitions properly. I used a small foam curler and a small paintbrush to ensure it stayed the place I needed it to go.

I’m unsure what this instrument is named (it says paint protect on the tag), but it surely works nice for placing up wallpaper. I used it to clean the bubbles out of the wallpaper and in addition to chop alongside the highest and backside for a clear edge subsequent to the crown molding and baseboards.

We taped off the wall adjoining to the place we had been beginning, however you don’t actually have to try this. Some glue goes to get on the partitions and you’ll use a humid sponge to get it off. This explicit wallpaper is paste the wall wallpaper. I had by no means used it earlier than, but it surely was surprisingly simple and never that messy in any respect. This paper was so good to work with, it’s heavy obligation and I by no means felt prefer it was going to tear on me. It was simple to line up the sample and preserve shifting. We did this challenge in 4 hours in simply in the future. It went approach sooner than I anticipated. That is after I rolled on the paste for the primary piece to go up. I may have gone just a little heavier right here. You don’t need it dripping, however you wish to be certain that the wall is roofed utterly with loads of sticking energy. It’s pink and dries clear.

You possibly can see I’ve a step ladder and a water bucket with sponge. That’s the smoothing instrument I’m holding. I began on this nook and measured from the crown to the baseboard to get my measurement on size I would wish for the primary piece of wallpaper. It was about 90″ in order that’s how lengthy I reduce the primary piece. I used the straight fringe of the highest to stick the primary piece after which after that, you need to discover the match level and measure from there for every further piece. There will likely be waste on wallpaper and this sample had a few 2′ waste on the match level. After placing up the primary piece, we took the roll and located the match level after which measured down and marked previous the highest of the baseboard in order that there can be an overlap to chop off. You don’t wish to reduce it brief. Go away a small quantity on the highest and backside in an effort to press with that smoothing instrument and reduce away the surplus with a chopping instrument.

It’s not laborious to wallpaper one wall like this, it simply takes a while and persistence. Don’t get in a rush and also you’ll be wonderful should you do this.

This put up I did within the laundry room challenge reveals me chopping the surplus wallpaper alongside the ceiling line. It’s good we had crown already in right here so it was simple to butt it as much as the ceiling.

Mark did a greater job than I did on chopping the highest, so he reduce the highest alongside the crown molding and I reduce the underside piece off. We used a fundamental field chopping instrument and it labored wonderful.

I laid out the wallpaper within the hallway so I may make the cuts. I reduce off a lot of the further prime piece after which made certain we had not less than an inch overlap on the underside the place it meets the baseboard. I used a sq. to mark my cuts and drew a pencil line, then reduce with scissors.

Daisy was a giant helper, as you’ll be able to see.

Piece by piece it goes up and you can begin to see the way it’s going to look. We had been excited already at this level!

Mama’s little helper was proper there with us the entire time.

We used 3 rolls, however solely used one full strip off the third roll, so be sure you order sufficient. I needed to reduce a strip for the ultimate piece on the appropriate to slot in that spot and all of it labored out nice. The match factors actually lined up nicely and you’ll barely see any traces in any respect the place all of it comes collectively. This paper was superb!

Right here’s the completed product once we completed later within the afternoon with the lights on. It was a cloudy day and the lamplight solid such a fairly glow on the paper.

We instantly cherished the way it turned out. It felt so totally different in there with simply this wall carried out. Abruptly it was cozier and hotter feeling.

We get requested about this fan so much and Mark discovered it at House Depot years in the past and has carried it round from home to deal with. It actually works nice in right here.

The brick wallpaper provides such a pleasant texture and architectural feeling and it’s superb how that occurs. We’re thrilled with the outcomes and couldn’t be happier with it.

For now, this bed room is finished and I in all probability received’t do much more in right here. As you’ll be able to see, the rug has tones of deep purple and orange and it actually makes the wallpaper pop with the blues and heat tones. We love our furnishings (from Common and Kincaid) and are very proud of these decisions. I’ll change out among the bedding sooner or later and perhaps the lamps down the highway, however for now we adore it.

I believe it makes the gorgeous wooden furnishings stand out much more.

Wanting in the direction of the lavatory on the sliding barn door. It actually seems to be good with the door.

Mirrored within the standing mirror, it seems to be so cozy.

And peeking into the Moody Blue sitting room, it simply feels so good now. It truly is superb how including one wall of wallpaper can carry out one of the best in the feel and appear of a bed room. We love this brick wallpaper and what it did for our room.

Hope you loved this challenge and get some inspiration of your individual. Coming in round $275 for this challenge, it was value efficient with loads of bang for the buck.
