Wallpaper Accent Wall // Basement Tween Boy Room Refresh

Hi friends! This post is long overdue, like extremely overdue. While dealing with some personal health issues last Fall, our oldest’s room project fell to the backburner. I wasn’t able to complete the Tween Room Refresh in time to reveal it for the One Room Challenge, but I have been slowly plugging away to get it over the finish line. I installed the peel and stick wallpaper before the holidays [and just recently finished styling the wall], so today I’m sharing the Wallpaper Accent Wall // Basement Tween Boy Room Refresh!

It’s no secret, I absolutely LOVE designing spaces that showcase a statement wall and Tempaper’s peel and stick wallpaper has been my go-to for many spaces in several of our homes. You can see our Primary Bedroom Accent Wall here and our Littlest’s Big Boy Room here.

Wallpaper Accent Wall // Basement Tween Boy Room Refresh

While planning the design direction for our oldest’s room refresh, I knew I wanted to incorporate design and décor elements that will grow with him. But as a twelve-year old boy, I know his passions and hobbies may evolve and change over time, so starting with a simple, neutral wallpaper pattern was the best decision. Using this gray & white line paper, still allows for fun and colorful art and other wall décor to really pop! [* Also the details for all of the art, etc., soon!]

I just love how it turned out!

And for reference, here is where we started…

The installation process only took a few supplies and a couple of hours to complete.

Here is what I used to install the removable wallpaper:

• ladder
• craft knife
• scissors
• level
• tape measure
• smoothing tool / squeegee
• *you can enlist the help of a friend or family member, but i was able to tackle this wall on my own!

And voila, a brand new “wall” in one evening!

I still have some styling to wrap up on the other walls, but we are super close to calling it done! I’ll be back with a final reveal sometime in the next couple of weeks full of details and sources, so be on the lookout!
