Megan’s floral wallpaper was the perfect find, actually, because it tied in the initial lilac color she had painted the kitchen walls — and it worked perfectly with the paint color she pivoted to in the end (a dark cinnamon shade; Behr’s Red Chipotle). That shade also happens to be the color of her cabinets!
Why I Love WallpaperMural’s Eurydice Wallpaper
This wallpaper is special because it matches with almost any color and it’s renter-friendly. It also costs $50 per square meter, so it’s cheaper than a very similar wallpaper I’ve seen and love. It gives a sort of colorful, Klimt-esque, Art Nouveau garden-inspired look.
Megan says the wallpaper makes her kitchen feel “like standing in a terracotta pot looking up through the flowers,” as she previously told AT. “It’s whimsical, eclectic, and full of life.”
WallpaperMural sells the Eurydice pattern in panels, and there are peel-and stick wallpaper, peel-and-stick vinyl, and pasted-on options. Megan and her husband, Dave, opted for the pasted-on version but have successfully removed pasted wallpaper in a rental before with a steamer, some careful pulling, and some vinegar to help remove any remaining adhesive.
Application Advice
“Wallpaper a ceiling was a new one for us,” Megan told AT. “It’s definitely a two-person job … I highly recommend push pins in the corners while the paper is curing.” (The beauty of this pattern is that a tiny pushpin hole would not be noticeable at all!)
And it’s likely not Megan’s last time wallpapering a ceiling. “While it’s a little time-consuming, it’s not as hard as I expected it to be, so I might have to do more in the near future,” she says.
