The idea of ​​reworking the resource board is far from new, but it seems to me that in our country it is only gaining momentum, like all types of resource processing, in principle.
This topic covers a lot of spheres of our life, for someone still imperceptible.
However, the upward trend in demand for it is growing.

Time, atmospheric effects in the open air, even traces of mechanical damage resulting from the operation of the object, which will become for us a source of unique material for the new project - these are the components that give that barely perceptible vintage charm inherent in the resource board.

Creating an expressive composition with your own hands is a challenge that requires dedication and inspiration from us.

I have selected for myself and for you a lot of interesting ideas that can serve as an inspiration for a new exclusive project with my own hands from a resource board in interior design and home decoration. Enjoy!

After repair, there are often unnecessary wallpapers, they will help to make the design of the room more interesting, if there is. Unused rolls may appear due to incorrect calculation of the area, excessive stock of the owners, or simply because it happened. In any case, do not blame yourself for wastefulness and other sins, because the remnants of the wallpaper can be used in a very original way, including to create an unusual interior decoration with your own hands.

Remnants of wallpaper will help to update old furniture, add an interesting decorative element to the interior or decorate empty walls. We offer you 15 design ideas with the use of extra wallpaper with their own hands.

Idea 1. It's all about the details

Any design consists of trifles. Pay attention to the furniture in the room, especially if you can call it new with a big stretch. With the help of the wallpaper remaining after the repair, you can do it yourself to transform an old dresser, closet or dressing table beyond recognition. It is enough to choose a suitable surface, it may be a tabletop, side wall or the facade of one of the drawers, and paste over it with wallpaper. If desired, even the inner surfaces of the drawers of the table can be exposed to such decoration.  The choice is almost unlimited, it all depends on the idea of ​​the interior and your imagination.

Idea 2. The original tray

For some reason, such a phenomenon as breakfast in bed is not common on the territory of Russia and the CIS countries. At best, the ideas to arrange such an action arise on major or thematic holidays like March 8 or Birthday. To give a good mood along with breakfast in bed, you need a beautiful tray. As a basis for the idea, you can use it already ready or make it yourself from the old photo frame or even a cutting board.

It is often possible to decorate not the most attractive surface of this piece of furniture with the help of the same wallpaper residues. An updated or “crafted” tray will look like an integral part of a room design idea.

Idea 3. The boundaries of space

Remains of wallpaper can help divide the floor space into functional areas. To equip, for example, a place to work, you need to draw its clear boundaries. And you can do it yourself with the help of wallpapers with a different pattern or with a contrasting color scheme. In this case, do not worry about the fact that the interior of the room will look awkward. Rather, on the contrary, the “room in room” effect will become a real “highlight” of the living space.

Idea 4. Wallpaper as a panel

The extra wallpaper can serve as a great idea for creating art objects. It is enough to paste over with them part of the wall in the living room or the space at the head of the bed. Such a move will add interior design volume, as well as visually expand the space.

Idea 5. Vintage chair

If you paste over the back of the old chair with wallpaper, it will no longer look like an inappropriate appendage to the interior of the room. Vivid floral prints are perfectly combined with natural wood, and neutral and calm motifs are perfect for furniture with chrome legs.

  • use removable wallpaper;
  • with the help of improvised means to make a removable cover for the back of a chair out of wallpaper;
  • additionally protect the surface with some kind of durable transparent coating made with your own hands from scrap materials.

We should not forget that the chair does not necessarily have to be used for its intended purpose. This piece of furniture can function as a shelf or flower stand. Ideas on how to use an updated piece of furniture, can be very unusual and original, if you put a little imagination.

Idea 6. Portal in the closet

In the old cabinet can breathe new life. This technique is applicable also to hanging cabinets, as well as cabinets with transparent facades. To implement this idea, you need to remove the door, pull out all the shelves, bars and other items that can interfere, and then paste over the back wall with remnants of bright wallpaper. It is better to leave the side walls intact, in which case the cabinet will no longer seem cumbersome and awkward.   With bright wallpaper on the back wall perfectly combines glass shelves where dishes are stored.  This technique is great for kitchen wall cabinets and furniture in the living room.

Idea 7. Bright accents

A coffee or coffee table can become brighter if you paste over its tabletop and other surfaces with beautiful wallpaper. Such a move will not only decorate this interior item, but also protect it from damage and scratches. Do it yourself with the help of the remaining wallpaper can also be some small cabinet or refrigerator.

Idea 8. Style Transformation

The design and main ideas of the interior always consist of seemingly minor details. It is possible to emphasize the originality of the decoration of the room with your own hands by decorating even the most mundane objects. If you paste over a wine bottle with bright wallpaper, it will turn into an unusual vase. The same trick can also be used to transform various decorative elements, such as photo frames.

Idea 9. Ladder decor

If you have imagination and some original idea, you can decorate with your own hands almost any piece of furniture. Including the stairs. Wallpaper can be pasted over the stairs or railings. At the same time, it is not at all necessary to glue wallpapers to the entire area. It may turn out that for the steps there is quite enough a strip of wallpaper along the center or along the edges. The railing can be decorated either fully or partially.

So, for example, wooden railings with bright edges look attractive and unusual, and correctly selected strips on the steps visually make them wider.

Idea 10. Bright lampshade

With the help of wallpaper residues, it is possible to transform the old lamp beyond recognition. The lamp shade can be pasted over with wall-paper both completely, and partially. It should be noted that the light from the light bulb will highlight the design and pattern of wallpaper, which looks at least unusual and interesting.

For large lamps, narrow bands with different patterns and patterns can be used, provided that they will be combined with each other.

Idea 11. Tablecloth decor

Remaining after the repair of wallpaper can be quite budget, but the original and stylish way to decorate the holiday table. A long strip of removable wallpaper, laid in the center and along the entire length of the table will transform the look of the interior. To complete the picture, you can install on the resulting strip of a vase with flowers, candlesticks and beautiful dishes.

Idea 12. Spotlight

Perhaps for some it will be a real discovery, but it’s not at all necessary to glue all the walls in the room with wallpaper. Moreover, the modern market practically does not limit the choice of finishing materials. Wall-paper can be only on one of walls or in general on a ceiling.

It is important to remember that a large print visually reduces the space of the room, and a small ornament or pattern can create the appearance of a couple of additional square meters.

Idea 13. Wallpaper on the way out!

Sometimes at the end of the repair it turns out that the door merges with the walls. This problem is particularly relevant for rooms decorated in light colors. To correct the situation will help the bright wallpaper, pasted on the door. Thus, the interior will be complemented by a contrasting accent, which will dilute the monotonous color range.

Idea 14. A hole in the wall.

Who said windows should look like windows? If you glue the window frame and window sill with finishing material for the walls, you can achieve the effect when the window looks like part of the wall. This trick will look spectacular in both large and small rooms.

Idea 15. Disguise radiator battery

In many apartments, the appearance of the radiator leaves much to be desired. You can change this state of affairs using a self-made or purchased box glued over with wallpaper. It is important to pay particular attention to the choice of wallpaper glue, since some formulations can produce unpleasant odors when heated.
