18+ DIY Fake Wallpaper Projects

February 1, 2022 by Shellie Wilson

DIY wallpaper is a fantastic way to add a personal touch to your home décor. This DIY wallpaper roundup showcases 15 unique and stylish wallpapers that can be made using simple materials such as paints, sharpies, or sponges. The designs presented in this article are repetitive in nature and use sponges or shapes to create a pattern that is repeated across the wall. This repetition creates a mesmerizing and eye-catching effect that will add a touch of personality to any room.

The use of sponges and shapes allows for the creation of polka dots, geometric shapes, and other patterns that can be easily repeated across the wall. These designs take a little patience, as you may need to add 100 or even 1000 dots or shapes all over the wall. However, the result is well worth the effort, as the repetition of the pattern creates a beautiful and cohesive look that will enhance the overall aesthetic of the room.

In addition to sponges and shapes, sharpies can also be used to create repeating patterns on your wallpaper. This is a great option for those who want to create a more intricate design, as sharpies allow for precise and controlled lines. The designs created with sharpies can range from simple geometric patterns to more complex and abstract designs.

Paints are another option for creating DIY wallpaper, and they can be used to create a wide range of designs and effects. Whether you want to create a solid color background or a marbled effect, paints provide the versatility to make it happen. The application of the paint can be done using brushes, rollers, or even sponges to create a unique and customized look.

When it comes to DIY wallpaper, the possibilities are endless. You can choose a design that complements the existing décor of your room or go bold with a vibrant and eye-catching design. Whether you want to create a feature wall or wallpaper an entire room, these designs will provide you with the inspiration you need to get started.

DIY wallpaper is a great way to add a personal touch to your home décor, and these 15 designs show you how to create repeating patterns using simple materials such as paints, sharpies, and sponges. Whether you want to create a bold and vibrant design or a more subtle and understated look, these designs will provide you with the inspiration you need to get started. So grab your materials and start creating your own DIY wallpaper today!

Which is your favorite design? Have you tried sponge painting or stencil painting before? I remember sponge painting my bedroom wall over 30 years ago, not a design as such just color on top of color to create a two-tone effect. It was in fashion at the time and everyone was sponging their walls. it was so forgiving and easy to do. I even remember sponge-painting a set of drawers to match my DIY bedroom walls.
