Okay, can we talk about how wallpaper is having a major moment right now—not just on walls but also on wardrobes? I’m loving this fresh and creative trend that’s popping up in more and more homes: wallpapering wardrobe doors to turn a basic piece of furniture into a bold statement feature.
It’s a clever way to add personality to your space without the commitment (or cost) of wallpapering an entire room. Whether you’re working with a dated hand-me-down or just want to give your flat-pack wardrobe a glow-up, this update is worth trying.
James Mellan-Matulewicz, Creative Director at Bobbi Beck, explains it perfectly:
“Wallpapering a wardrobe is a simple yet effective way to elevate interiors without committing to permanent changes.”
And honestly, that’s what makes it so appealing. If you love experimenting with colors, prints, and textures but aren’t quite ready to go all in on an accent wall, this is the perfect middle ground. Plus, peel-and-stick wallpapers are super easy to apply and remove—which is a total win if you’re renting or just like switching things up often.
But even if peel-and-stick isn’t quite right for your project, there’s another great option.
According to James:
“Using paste-the-wall wallpaper is a great alternative. Just make sure to prep the wardrobe surface with a primer first. That way, it’ll stick better and come off more easily when you’re ready for a change.”
And let’s not forget the practical side—wallpaper can hide scuffs, scratches, and plain old wear-and-tear, giving tired furniture a completely new lease on life. It’s upcycling at its best.
So, if you’re updating your space this season, keep this trend in mind. It’s creative, budget-friendly, renter-approved, and—most importantly—a whole lot of fun.
