printed walls

i have to admit, when i think wallpaper, i can only think of this scene in Garden State...

...which is unfortunate, because printed walls are such a cool and fun way to spice up any living space. to try and make my mental wallpaper image a little better, i've been keeping my eyes peeled for inspiring printed walls. personally, i would keep the crazy, printed wallpaper to an accent wall or something of the sort, but i do admire the more adventurous designers who can make a whole room both printed and chic. 

with such a bright color and vibrant print such as these walls, it's important to keep the rest of the decor simple and elegant. 

how awesome is this! at first glance this is such a girly wallpaper... but look closely and you'll see it's really images of cowboys and oil wells!

the circus is coming to town! and adding a touch of whimsy to a wall near you!

i'm LOVING this zebra print, especially with yellow. ok... maybe i'm just infatuated with everything about this bedroom...

one of the few examples where i think i would like having a whole room {as long as it's a tiny bathroom} wallpapered... doggy print! obsessed.

for those of us less inclined to permanently alter our walls, use a wallpaper insert instead! easy to move around if you change your mind. 

how perfect is this bathroom!? sailboats? orange? those tiles!!?

yep, i definitely think i could jump onboard the wallpaper train, as long as it's full of charming prints or something floral! how do you feel about wallpapered rooms? do you have any favorite prints?
