They say everything old is new again. That cliché holds true when it comes to a trend being revived from the depths of history: wallpaper. According to Vogue, wallpaper is back—and hotter than ever.

Way back in the 16^th century, wallpaper was used to decorate small rooms and the insides of cupboards in merchants’ homes. Centuries later, it showed up everywhere—from hallways and bedrooms to dining rooms and powder rooms. Falling out of favor for a while when chintzy yellow flowers or gaudy stripes dated rooms, rather than accented them, wallpaper is reappearing once again inside the chicest homes.

At Centered by Design, we like to stick to classic design with modern touches—and for that reason, we’re huge fans of using wallpaper. It has a way of bringing rooms to life in a way paint cannot, especially in contained areas.

With thousands upon thousands of options to choose from, it can seem daunting to pick a wallpaper. Today we’re sharing our favorite resources for where to buy wallpaper, including retail and designer stores—plus a few spots to get access to designer papers without a designer account. (Want more interior designer resources? Check out our favorites here!) Not ready to fully commit to a wallpaper using adhesive? Peel-and-stick wallpaper is becoming more widely available, and it’s easy enough for anyone to DIY.

Our Favorite Spots to Use Wallpaper

Wallpaper works well in a contained space, so all our favorite ways to use wallpaper tend to have defined boundaries. That includes:

Dining rooms: Wallpaper looks great here, as it can often cover all four walls.

Kids’ rooms: You can be really imaginative and whimsical with wallpaper here, and just have fun!

Powder rooms: We love to call these “jewel boxes.” They’re another special space that can be quickly transformed with wallpaper.

Entryways: Wallpaper makes a statement as soon as you enter the home, and it often works to carry it up the stairs.

Ceilings: Don’t forget the fifth wall! Using wallpaper here is high impact, but not overwhelming, and can be a smart way to introduce color to a more neutral space.
