You have re-decorated your living room and you have some wallpaper leftover? No need to throw it in the bin, on the contrary!
Geometric, floral or striped, here are some simple DIY ideas to re-use your wallpaper leftovers in some lovely home projects:
1. Frame it
You can easily turn wallpaper into an innovative piece of wall art by cutting it up and putting it in a frame. Just think of Warhol!

6. Surprise in your drawer
By decorating the inside of your drawers, you will add some instant colour to these boring drawers. A subtle, but very nice addition to your chest of drawers.
You can even stick wallpaper to the sides of the drawers or on the outside.
7. Wrapping Presents
One of my favorite ways to upcycle wallpaper leftovers! They come in many colours and patterns, making it a classy alternative to ordinary wrapping paper. And the advantage is that it’s more durable than standard wrapping.
As you can see, you can re-decorate almost every piece of furniture or object with wallpaper.
