Loving this idea. My closet is one of my favorite places, and as much as I hate to admit it, a place I spend a lot of time in...absolutely no reason why it shouldn't be designed to the nines! :)

what a great idea! I'm a little intimidated by wallpaper because I tend to love the bolder patterns, but am to nervous to do a main room in it. this seems like the perfect way for me to try out whatever wallpaper I love and transform an oft ignored space into something beautiful!

ah, i love the idea of turning a closet into a desk space! so space saving! (yes, im going off topic, heh)

Works really well for closets with a lot of wall space, otherwise you want to make sure you have an appetite for visual chaos. Choose carefully, and keep it light so you can find things easily.

I love this concept and hope to use wallpaper on my next closet design project. Why should we neglect closet walls when we are in them every day ? Thank you for this wonderful post !

Ohhh...This might be a good idea for us!! The insides of all our closets are this glossy black with black shelves thanks to the previous owner. Our friends think it's great but they don't have to live with it. Talk about a nightmare in the closets that don't have any light in them. :/ This could keep some of the character and make it easier for me to see things!!

I like the idea of wallpaper in a closet! I'm using a lot of patterns already in our closet office or I'd totally go for the idea.

Our old house had wallpaper from the sixties or seventies inside the bedroom closets. I think the rooms were also wallpapered at one time and whoever removed it didn't want to bother with the closets. I always liked it though.

@alahoop...funny, I live in a century home and the closet(I wish it was closet's') has three different vintage papers I assume leftovers from papering jobs elsewhere in the house. We drywalled the bedroom but left the closet as a little time capsule.

I love this but have ugly unusable closets at the time. (The closets were built in after the house was built and built in poorly) Can't wait to redo the spaces!

I love this idea! Something I'll definitely have to try because my closets are ridiculously small.

This is one of my favorite DYI projects! I've done it in several of my closets and it never fails to make me smile. Plus, it's a fun use for the odd roll found at a big box store for next to nothing.

Cute idea :)

My closet is extremely full like many others (I hope) so I would never get to appreciate the wallpaper. If I had an office closet conversion then it would work but sadly not the case.

I love all the photos at the top of this post, and thought about using wall paper in our tiny 1940s master closet when we ripped it apart to install more efficient shelving. However, all of those photos are a bit deceptive since none show a small, tightly packed closet, which is usually the case!

I was worried that with a small space filled with multi-colored clothes, laundry baskets, and shoes an extra layer of pattern might not help the situation. I was also concerned that a darker colored paper might color cast my clothing given we only have one overhead light.

So in the end we went for a neutral paint, and hung a matted, framed picture on the bit of wall truly visible. I love it - still something interesting beside clothes, but it doesn't compete with them!

How funny, I just did this last weekend and I couldn't be happier. I live in a small place with very little room for luxury but my closet now feels so decadent. Doing this has totally encouraged me to organize all of my closets.

I wanted to do this sooo bad, but my closet has that awful textured paint and somehow skim-coating (or some other arduous method of smoothing out paint) and THEN hanging wallpaper takes all the fun out of it.

Even paint can have an inspiring effect in a largish closet! (Unless it's so packed with belongings that you can't see the color, of course!)

I like Las Vegas Sun

Use that lovely Woods paper from Cole & Sun, and hope that the closet will then lead into Narnia...
