So many homeowners are bringing wallpaper back into their design plans. The benefits of wallpaper are, number one, it’s great to put it in a hall, and if you use a natural product like grasscloth or a fabric, it drastically cuts down on the noise in a home. It absorbs noise.
It’s also very durable. If you use, for instance, a vinyl in a mudroom or a kid’s room, it’s going to last a lot longer than paint. Also, you can get very specific period looks if you want. There are also very modern colors.
There are also now a lot of murals you can get for your kid’s room that will show a jungle or a castle, and just do it on one wall. It’s great for kids. There are a lot of benefits to wallpaper, but I strongly urge you to hire a professional for it.
Key Takeaways
Where wallpaper makes the most sense
Wallpaper is as practical as it is decorative, especially when it is installed well.
- 1
Quieter hallways
Natural materials such as grasscloth and fabric absorb sound, cutting down on noise in hallways and shared spaces.
- 2
Durable in busy rooms
Vinyl wallpaper stands up to mudrooms and kids’ rooms, where it typically outlasts paint.

Period or modern style
Match the character of an older home with a period pattern, or choose modern colors and prints.

Murals for kids’ rooms
A single mural wall, such as a jungle or a castle, gives a child’s room a focal point without papering every wall.
