Renovating your home? It’s always an exciting time when you begin planning a makeover for your new HDB BTO flat. From creating moodboard from Instagram and Pinterest and searching for interior designers online or talking to people who just got their homes designed, here are some inspirations for those who wish to install wallpaper in their HDB BTO flat. Not only does wallpaper look stylish, there are also practical and functional reasons. Here are some ideas below.

#1 Wallpaper Idea - Wallpaper on the Ceiling

Say goodbye to traditional white ceilings. Ceilings are often overlooked as part of the home decor although they can bring a major change in the overall design of the space. Covering your ceiling with wallpaper is a fantastic way to add color, pattern or texture to any room and certainly creates a wow moment when you walk into the space.

In Singapore where HDBs flats are getting smaller, ceiling wallpapers are great for small spaces where the walls are filled up with furniture and cabinetry so the ceiling wall is the best place to add a pop of color and pattern.

You can hang the wallpapers on the sliding door and use the leftovers to wallpaper the inside of the wardrobe so that no wallpaper goes to waste. How brilliant an idea is that?

#5 Wallpaper Idea - Stripes pattern for adding bigger illusion

It is easy to mix stripes  and pattern wallpaper designs for variety and interest.

Those odd narrow nooks in your home, like you’d find at the end of a hallway, for example, can be pretty tricky to decorate.
