Of all the places to go bold with your walls, the entryway, as evidenced in Annie & Pierson's Bright and Cheerful Home, is one of the best. It not only creates a dynamic look in the first space you and your guests will see when entering, it's also commonly a small space — which means you can splurge on wallpaper you may not be able to afford for a larger room. To get the look, check out a few similar wallpaper patterns we've rounded up.

Ercol Bar Stool
hmmm that first one looks a little dizzying to me. I'd go for a more uniform chevron look. Still pretty cool though!
Nope nope nope. Looks like a migraine.
Yikes! Way too busy. Looks like a pattern from a 1950s movie about someone going to a mental hospital for shock therapy.
That first one is so...aggressive, somehow. Like it makes me feel so tense my shoulders are practically up to my ears. It just makes the space seem even narrower, in a claustrophobic sort of way.
Neat idea but way to bold, I am sure allof these patterns would look great done wit subtle lnes instead.
I so agree - this is NO NO NO MENTAL HOSPITAL LOUIS WAIN PSYCHOTIC CAT PAINTING ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKE JACK A DULL BOY kind of wallpaper!
Seriously. That, in my bathroom, would make me want to gouge my eyes out.
