How We Styled Three Spaces with Texture & Personality Featuring Peel-and-Stick in the Study + Traditional Wallpaper in the Entry & Powder Bath
Wallpaper is back in a big way—and we’re not talking about your grandma’s florals. In our latest model home, we used a mix of peel-and-stick and traditional wallpaper to create three unique, personality-packed spaces: the study, the entryway, and the powder bath. Each one tells a different design story while still feeling cohesive throughout the home.
From texture to tone, these wallpapers helped us elevate everyday spaces into statement-making moments—and the best part? You can do it too.
🛠 What’s the Difference?
We used peel-and-stick wallpaper in the study for its flexibility. It’s easy to install, easy to remove, and perfect for making bold choices without long-term commitment.
In the entryway and powder bath, we opted for traditional wallpaper—perfect for high-traffic or high-impact areas where you want lasting texture and detail. Installed properly, these walls can become artful, polished features of the home.
📍 Where We Used It:
📚 The Study – Faux Stacked Stone (Peel & Stick):
We wanted the home office to feel grounded, textured, and visually connected to the rest of the design—so we chose a faux stacked stone peel-and-stick wallpaper that mirrors the look of the home’s fireplace. It instantly gave the space dimension and warmth, without the hassle of masonry or the commitment of real stone.
🚪 The Entryway – Abstract Watercolor (Traditional):
To create a soft, welcoming vibe right at the front door, we used a neutral-toned abstract watercolor wallpaper. Professionally installed, it feels airy and artistic—like walking into a gallery that flows beautifully into the rest of the home. It’s subtle, yet unforgettable.
🚿 The Powder Bath – Geometric Gray Print (Traditional):
This cozy little space called for something bold and textural, so we installed a gray geometric wallpaper that resembles a soft, woven blanket. It’s a small room with big personality—exactly how we like it. Traditional wallpaper gave us the durability and impact we needed for this high-use area.
📍 Where To Buy It:

💡 Dunhill Designer Tip:
Use peel-and-stick wallpaper in flexible spaces like studies, nurseries, or rentals where change is part of the plan. Choose traditional wallpaper for statement areas like entries, dining rooms, or powder baths where you want more permanence and polish.
Mixing both throughout the home creates layers of texture and interest—while still keeping your design practical.
