Using Wallpaper to Customize Furniture

These are those "generic" wardrobe cabinets that were customized with wallpaper panels.

What do you think of the "custom" treatment?

I like it a lot we covered our glass closet doors with a marbelized, wall paper, at the time it was a process where you tear each piece, we also have the same paper behind our bed

I'm personally not a fan of wardrobes. I like closets that have everything in them - shelves, shoe racks, etc. Wardrobes remind me of "armoirs" huge pieces of furniture in a confined space.

I think this is a very smart idea to change something like this.

This particular instance isn't my taste at all, but I really appreciate what it has done for the room, and I think this is a great idea.

Love it. I had something similar, back in the 90s. In the bedroom, I wall papered the closet door, and had the same paper on the far wall.

I like the idea of using wallpaper to cover doors but that particular purple paper is overwhelming. I couldnt live with it.

Great way to add a little "artwork" and a pop of color.

@I am still oxox Often wondered what people did with mirrored closet doors. Wallpaper is a great solution with little cost involved!

Neat idea and good job. I'd have picked another wallpaper, but that's a matter of personal choice. I put wallpaper on the inside of a glass cabinet I have and it worked out nicely, but probably not as nicely as this. I didn't want it permanently affixed, so used tape that can't be seen from the outside.

I like this idea a lot. Of course, I've mentioned before that I detest purple and any shade thereof, but I like the concept and would do this with another color/pattern.

This is something I would do in the right kind of house/room. Would choose a better looking wallpaper tho.

@lolakimono,

I definitely like the idea of it!

I might like this concept if the wallpaper were a different print. I think it overpowers the room and I'm not a fan of it anyway.

It's OK...you can change it as many times as you please so that's a quick and easy way to make the entire room look different.

When we were first married and bought our first house back in 1979 we did this to our bathroom. We painted the wooden cabinets white, took off the doors and put a square of wallpaper in the middle and framed it (painted white). It was adorable. I guess we were way ahead of our times.

When we were first married we bought an old camper. It was avacado green appliances & cabinets and mod flowered wallpaper. I painted over the wallpaper and put a pretty modern (for 1985) wallpaper on the kitchen cabinet doors to kill some of the avacado green. Around 1995 we sold that old camper to a friend who put it on a piece of land he owns to use as a hunting camp. It's still there and gets used in the summer as a place to go to swim etc and in the fall as a hunting camp.He told me a couple years ago he took the wall paper off the cabinet doors and painted the walls white and the cabinets yellow.

I like it.
The large print breaks up the purple in the room nicely.

They did a really good job of making sure the branches lined up properly from door to door.
