Paste the new wallpaper over the old
No need to peel off the wallpaper or level the wall – stick new ones on top of the old ones. Often it is these preliminary works that discourage any desire to make repairs – while the wallpaper is still holding, we are literally too lazy to touch them.

True, you can stick wallpaper on top of the wallpaper only in the case of a paper coating (nothing will stick to bulky foamed vinyl). Another important point: make sure that old wallpaper will not show through the new wallpaper.

Advice:
It is not necessary to paste over the entire room – it is enough to make a new coating on one wall. For example, behind the head of the bed in the bedroom, nursery or behind the TV in the living room.

Do patchwork wallpaper wall
Anti-crisis decoration – collect the remnants of unnecessary wallpaper rolls from friends and acquaintances (believe me, everyone has one). The result is unpredictable, but so much the better! – you will get a real wall of friendship.
Pick up “patches” of different colors, patterns and textures, and then stick them on part of the wall. The proportion between the glued and unglued area should be 2:3, never 1:1.

Add an accent spot
A bright spot made with paint will enliven any room. It is not necessary to paint the entire wall: it takes a long time, and besides, you risk getting tired of it quickly. Apply the new color only half the height or even a third – exactly as long as the can of paint remaining from the repair lasts.

Draw an outline
Paint can circle a niche in the kitchen, a window frame, a headboard and much more. To draw the strip neatly, be sure to use a level (for a straight line) and stock up on masking tape.

Advice:
An alternative design option is to stick a strip of colored paper tape over the wall with wallpaper. Ask for washi-tape, or Japanese scotch tape, at hobby and art stores.

Order vinyl stickers to your liking
In fact, this is a “first aid kit” for changing the mood in the room. Stickers are a very effective solution. But they will suit you only if nothing else “happens” on the wall. It is better if the walls are plain. But stickers are definitely contraindicated for a large pattern on the wallpaper.

Organize a permanent exhibition
Another way to decorate an empty wall is to hang photo frames. A seemingly chaotic, careless gallery will make the interior more personal. The exposure can be changed at least every month: thanks to Instagram, everyone has plenty of funny pictures.

Put decorations on the shelf
If you have plenty of photographs and paintings, but you are not at all sure that you can effectively group the exhibits, hang the shelves in several lines. They will create a platform for all the things and accessories that inspire you at the moment. And every time you want something new, just rearrange or completely change the composition. In addition, you do not have to once again make holes in the walls.

Adding “art”
It is not necessary to spend money on paintings in baguettes – the role of a work of art in a modern interior will be successfully performed by a poster with an unusual quote or even just a piece of bright textile on a stretcher. By the way, it can also be a colorful rug – only if it does not resemble grandmother’s tapestries with deer.

Glue decorative molding
If you have always liked ceiling moldings, feel free to mount a thin molding on the ceiling. The fragments are quite light and durable, in addition, they can be glued to the ceiling using “liquid nails”.
This solution is suitable for painted (whitewashed) or suspended plasterboard ceilings: after installing the stucco molding, we recommend repainting the ceiling.
