   I have beautiful wallpaper in the master bathroom. I also have a beautiful wallpaper border in my bedroom. It compliments the furniture perfectly.The rest of my home has painted walls.

  I like a little wallpaper to keep it interesting but I think it's too much to have it throughout the house.

Count me in with the Old House fans!  We have a 123 year old Victorian and we hung wall paper (the old fashioned way, rolling it on with glue mixtures) in many rooms around our house.

We have beautiful borders and stunning wall designs with gold, flowers, birds, geometrics, and so forth. Most rooms are a different color.  We only use Bradbury & Bradbury wallpaper because it is so fabulous and authentic.

We have been in our home 25 years and expect another 25.  

We still have a few rooms to go and DH even wants to do some ceilings.

I love the look of wallpaper and I feel like I am living in a castle!

I like wallpaper in bathrooms.

Previous house: after a gut reno of the hall bath I used a paper that looked like antiqued leather. Rich and gorgeous texture.

Present home: Feature wall in my master bath: a Candace Olson contemporary large stylized  floral with some metallic in it. Perfect size, scale and Wow factor. Other walls painted Benjamin Moore Ocean Air. Powder room papered floor to ceiling in a bronze shimmer textured paper, bronze painted trim & ceiling. DIL's sister saw it and went nuts for it- I gave her the extra full roll I had for her powder room.

So much you can do with wallpaper, especially in a small area where you need just a double roll or two. Gives so much more texture than paint ever could.

Previous houses- wallpaper in dining rooms (2), bathrooms (2), nursery.

My love of wallpaper began when I was about 12 years old and chose my all-time favorite wallpaper for my bedroom: light pink & white abstract with subtle gold sparkles.

IMO wallpaper was never actually "out", but greater variety and ease of use is allowing more people to embrace it. No longer your Grandma's wallpaper, for sure!

I'll bet your home is beautiful! 

Love Bradbury & Bradbury wallpaper designs and considered them when we built our brick Victorian home 30 years ago.

I ended up using a Robert Allen design in my dining room.  It is a traditional bird/floral/vine pattern and I've never gotten tired of it.  We have chair rails and deep red below.

It was such fun looking at designs all those years ago.  This was before the internet and so many easy ways to shop.  Everything was done via catalog!  We even purchased all of our Victorian lighting/chandeliers that way, which seems amazing now.

We had it in our first house in the 80's but I would never do it again.

I like the look of wallpaper in an old house.  But I've never lived in one...in a "modern" home I prefer painted walls.

Back in the 90s I had a wallpaper border in the bedroom.  After about a year I was tired of it...and it was a pain to remove.

We have one room with wallpaper in our colonial home.  We had more over the years that has been removed.  We are now tired of that wallpaper in our bedroom and eventually want to redo that room.

We do have some wall stenciled rooms, most with a stenciled border.  It’s a look we like, it is unusual, and adds charm.  I took Early American painting lessons for years, so stenciling fits in well with our decorating style.  I had too much of it everywhere at one point and have painted over it.

Been there done that with using wallpaper in my home. I had a hard time selling my last house because of the wallpaper. Never again.

We purchased a large older home when our family expanded to include parents and adult children. It had quite a few fooms that had wallpaper. I'm not a fan of most wallpaper. I liked the paper in the dining room and my multi purpose room. The rest of the rooms and the hallways I am still in the process of removing. There is just about every type of paper on these walls. I'm still working on this ongoing  project. It's taken me years. Eventually, it will all be done.
