Found an amazing wallpaper but it's too expensive to cover an entire wall in? Or maybe you like the pattern but don't like the look of wallpapered rooms? No problem, you can still display it in your home in a simple and stylish way.
Wallpaper looks great when placed in frames and hung on the wall. One framed piece looks great while a collection of three, or even a whole picture wall makes a bold statement. If you're making a picture wall, use different wallpapers for an art gallery effect.

Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: One hour or less
Here's How:
- Cut a piece of foam board using a utility knife to fit in a frame of your choosing.
- Cut the wallpaper to the size of the frame.
- Attach the wallpaper to the foam board using a spray adhesive (for pre-pasted papers simply wet the paper and attach it to the board as per the manufacturer's instructions).
- Use a ruler to smooth out the paper removing any air bubbles.
- Insert the board into the frame and display wherever you like.
Tips:
- If you're using a highly patterned wallpaper make sure the frame is simple. It will make the paper really stand out and it will make a terrific statement.
