The Best Wallpaper by Location in the Home

Wallpaper is a widely used resource in interior design today. And choosing its location wisely can transform an entire room, add depth, or even correct architectural flaws.

At Sweet Papaya, we have a wide variety so you can apply wallpaper for wall in your home to suit your space.

What is the ideal wallpaper for each location in the home?

Bedrooms

One of the most common areas to apply wallpaper. We recommend placing it on the headboard wall or on a side wall if you're looking for a more enveloping effect.

Our soft, floral, or geometric bedroom wallpaper designs work very well.

Living Room

Living room wallpaper acts as a scenic backdrop. You can apply it behind the sofa, on an entire wall, or combined with mouldings.

For small living rooms, vertical patterns help add height.

Children's and Teenagers' Bedrooms

Ideal spaces for taking risks with colours and themed motifs. The great advantage of using wallpaper for a children's bedroom is that you can change it without major renovations as the child grows.

Then the only thing you should do is switch to wallpaper for your teen's bedroom. In any case, we recommend using vinyl wallpaper for these scenarios, as it's easy to clean.

Kitchen

One of the most overlooked rooms but with great potential. We have kitchen wallpaper in washable vinyl models, ideal for areas like the office, the dining room wall, or even behind an open shelf.

Hang a hydraulic-effect wallpaper over an old tiled wall and the change will be radical!

Bathroom

Is bathroom wallpaper a reality? Yes, as long as it's suitable for humid environments and is placed away from the shower.

We recommend vinyl, which is washable and has good adhesion. It works very well in guest or guest bathrooms.

Hallways and Entrances

Ideal for creating an impact from the first glance. You can wallpaper only the back of the hallway, or play with vertical stripes to visually lengthen the space.

If the space is narrow, take advantage of our light designs and light colours.

Commercial Spaces or Home Workspaces

Increasingly used to personalize offices, studios, or small businesses, the ability to customize designs is especially useful here.

With us, you can create a custom wallpaper design for your commercial space, something you won't find in other stores.

Advantages of Wallpaper Over Other Decorative Solutions

Unlike paint, wallpaper allows you to play with textures, patterns, and finishes without any construction or complications. It offers immediate, visually striking results. It's also ideal for:

• Creating focal points (such as behind a headboard or sofa).
• Correcting proportions (verticals that slim, horizontals that widen).
• Temporary or semi-permanent applications, perfect for rental properties.

At Sweet Papaya, we send you a step-by-step guide so you can install it yourself. If you make a mistake, you can order exact replacements without having to buy a full roll. This makes wallpaper for wall a practical and economical long-term solution.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wallpaper Location in the Home

Where does wallpaper look best in the home?

Wallpaper looks especially good on focal walls, such as behind the sofa in the living room, the headboard in the bedroom, or at the end of the hallway. The key is to use it to create contrast or reinforce the decorative style of each room.

Can you wallpaper an entire room, or just one wall?

Both options are valid. A single wall creates a focal point, while wallpapering the entire room creates uniformity and character. In small spaces, it's best to use soft patterns to avoid overloading the space.

In what order should you wallpaper a room?

It's common to start from the corner furthest from the door and work clockwise. It's recommended to leave the wall with a window or door for last, as they are easier to adjust.

Can you put wallpaper over tiles?

Yes, but only if the surface is well-prepared: lightly sand, seal with a primer, and use the appropriate adhesive. This is a very useful technique for renovating kitchens or bathrooms without construction work.

How do I choose a design for each room?

• For the living room: geometric or understated patterns.
• In bedrooms: soft, relaxing tones.
• In kitchens or bathrooms: fresh, washable designs.
• In children's rooms: themed, colourful, and dynamic.
