Want to make the most of your NuWallpaper? Whether you’re tackling a small DIY or aiming for a high-impact upgrade without the waste, a single roll can go a surprisingly long way. And if you’re working on a larger project, you might find yourself with a few leftover rolls and wondering, what now? From stylish home accents to clever storage solutions, these creative ideas will help you see peel and stick wallpaper in a whole new light—and reduce waste while you’re at it.
Let’s dive into 10 clever and creative ways to use just one roll of NuWallpaper:
1. Give Your Bookshelves a Facelift
Line the back of your bookshelves with patterned wallpaper to instantly transform the look of a room. Whether you’re going bold or keeping it subtle, this trick adds depth and personality to any shelfie.
2. Upgrade Photo Mats (a HOT Décor Trend)
Layer wallpaper beneath photos or art inside a frame to create custom matting. It’s an easy way to tie your wall décor into your space’s color palette—and it’s totally reversible and swappable when you need a refresh!
3. Create Gorgeous Shelf or Table Surface Liners
Add a pop of pattern to shelves and tabletops. Lining your shelves is an easy upgrade that brings joy to everyday moments (plus: it’s renter-friendly and easy to switch out).
4. Accentuate Wall Art with Patterned Backdrops
Hang your framed art over a small panel of wallpaper to create a makeshift gallery wall feature. This is a great way to play with contrast and texture without committing to a full wall.
5. Beautify Hardcover Books
Wrap old or mismatched hardcovers in peel and stick wallpaper to give your shelves a cohesive, designer-styled look. Bonus: it makes thrifted books look high-end.
6. DIY Your Drawer Interiors
Add personality where you least expect it. Line the inside of dresser drawers or desk organizers with NuWallpaper for a little surprise every time you reach for a pen or a pair of socks.
7. Add Flair to Furniture Pieces
Give tired furniture a quick refresh by adding wallpaper to drawer fronts, tabletops, or even chair backs. It’s a simple, no-paint-required way to revive a piece you already own.
8. Stylize Your Storage Boxes
Tired of plain cabinets, cardboard bins, or plastic tubs? Wrap them in wallpaper for storage that looks as good as it functions.
9. Design Elevated Tech Skins
Cut custom-fit skins for your laptop, tablet, or phone case using your favorite pattern. It’s a unique way to personalize your tech—plus, NuWallpaper works great with Cricut and other cutting machines.
10. Tap into Crafting Possibilities
From bookmarks and gift tags to scrapbooking and party décor, the sky’s the limit. With one roll and some creativity, you can bring your favorite pattern to life in so many unexpected ways.
