Add an element of surprise to a decor-deprived spot in your home.
The last time we decorated a door we were in junior high, and believe us, it wasn’t pretty. But with their vertical, unadorned faces, doors offer an irresistible blank canvas for wallpaper. Regardless of what paper you choose, it’s guaranteed to look better than that New Kids on the Block collage did.
