3. Wonderful Wallpaper

Next to updating your wood flooring, changing the paint color in a room is one of the best ways to transform a room. But instead of traditional paint, why not consider wallpaper. Wallpaper can be simple, romantic, or to appease point # 1 … nice and contemporary. You can make it subtle and charming, or give a room a pop of color.

If you don’t want to wallpaper an entire room, opt for an accent wall in your living room, entry or bed or bathroom and choose the color, design and layout to complement the style of your room.
