Craft Room-Glow-Up: Using Wallpaper as a Mural Background

One of the easiest ways to transform a space—especially a creative one—is with a bold, beautiful backdrop. I recently discovered this stunning Amazon wallpaper and decided to use it as a mural background for my craft room shelves. Let me tell you—it completely changed the vibe of the room!

Why I Chose This Wallpaper

I wanted something vibrant, artistic, and inspiring without feeling too busy. This design checked every box. It feels like a piece of art and adds the perfect pop behind my shelves without overpowering my supplies or decor.

The Application Process

Applying the wallpaper was simpler than I expected. The material is thick and high quality, with just enough flexibility to smooth over without bubbles. I measured and cut panels to fit behind my shelves and used a smoothing tool to press out any wrinkles. (Pro tip: having a second pair of hands helps!)

The End Result

I’m obsessed. 😍 The wallpaper acts like a built-in mural and gives the room so much personality. My craft supplies are organized in white bins, so the background peeks through beautifully—like a gallery wall for glue guns and washi tape!

Here’s a peek at how it turned out:

Final Thoughts

If you're thinking about giving your space a quick makeover—especially a creative zone like a craft room, office nook, or reading corner—consider using wallpaper as a mural. It's budget-friendly, and completely changes the energy of a room.
