Your surface materials set the foundational style of your space, which is why covering your walls in the right one is so important. From texture-effect wallpapers to three-dimensional materials, these wall-covering ideas will spice up any room in a big way. We're spotlighting 20 popular wall coverings so you can decide which ones you'd like to replicate, or how to style the ones already featured in your home, including brick, wood panels, plaster, concrete, and more. And then there's still so much you can do to bring them to life with paint, wallpaper, and decorative tapestries... So without further ado, read through all our wall covering ideas ahead.

1 of 20

Wallpaper Panels

Designer Celerie Kemble wasn't able to wallpaper the walls in this NYC rental, but she didn't let that stop her from using some in this teenager's bedroom. The loophole? Hanging a trio of ceiling-high panels covered in the wallpaper of her choice.

Brushed Concrete

Brushed concrete walls mimic the polished concrete flooring in this contemporary dining room by Catherine Kwong Design. The wood tones establish a timeless warmth that complements and contrasts with the edgy concrete surfaces beautifully. Using chalk paint or a super flat finish can also help you accomplish this look even if you don't have concrete walls.

Zellige Tiles

The color variations of zellige tiles make them a sure-fire way to create a lived-in, unique, and earthy atmosphere. They're particularly well-suited for bathrooms, like this one by Romanek Design Studio, since they're water-resistant and also create a spacious illusion when extending from the floor up to the ceiling.

Velvet Upholstery

Velvet upholstered walls create an undeniable sense of luxury and elegance to this room by Alison Pickart Design. She padded the walls too, which dampens sound and makes the room feel extra intimate, like a world of its own.

5 of 20

Wood Panels

Design firm Kureck Jones painted the floors of this dining room a bright blue f0r a fun pop of color while the more neutral light wood-paneled walls connect the indoors with the outdoors. The natural ash wood was inspired by the hull of a boat. "Even at night, the house has a sort of golden glow to it," they tell House Beautiful.

Tassel Tapestry

Hang a woven tapestry to warm up a space without veering on boho by sticking to a cooler color palette and incorporating more industrial materials as Nicole Hollis Studio did here.

7 of 20

Curtains

Eliza Carter hung curtains over a bright green accent wall to soften it up, accentuate high ceilings, and introduce an extra kick of pattern. The value of curtains extend beyond their use as window treatments—they can really add dimension to any wall.

Leather

Though classic and timeless, this living room by interior designer Kevin Dumais is also having tons of fun. To make the room feel even more soft and intimate, Dumais upholstered the walls in leather and then framed it with wood panels.

Metal Sheet

Kris Cochran of Good Living made the gas fireplace stand out even more as the room's focal point by accenting the wall around it with a custom copper sheet.

Fabric Hanging

Matching an upholstered headboard to the fabric hanging behind the bed makes it feel endlessly tall and also brings in extra dimension against a different wallpaper, as Eliza Carter did here. You could also just hang a piece of affordable fabric behind the bed as a makeshift headboard.

A Large Screen

An antique rosewood screen frames this dining room designed by Shawn Henderson. Or, to fill the wall space, consider installing trellis for a similar look.

12 of 20

Chalk

With a chalk surface, you can literally let the kids draw on the walls. Dan Mazzarini maintained the art classroom feel with an industrial metal dining table and pendant as well as classic wooden chairs.

13 of 20

Whitewashed Brick

Whitewashing the exposed brick walls in this kitchen by Shari Francis helped lighten it up, making it feel brighter without fully getting rid of the character and sense of history.

14 of 20

Moldings

Add some specialty moldings to bring in more dimension while still feeling classic and understated. Anna Spiro Design painted the wall one shade, but you could also make the moldings pop more by painting them with an accent color.

15 of 20

Fabric-Effect Wallpaper

Sometimes a printed wallpaper that creates the optical illusion of texture is even better than the real thing. The pearlized ink dots on Phillip Jeffries' Rivets wallcovering resemble nailheads in this sitting room designed by Cameron Ruppert Interiors.

16 of 20

Craggily Stone

Exposed craggily stone in this rowhouse breakfast nook transports you to another time. Designer Jae Joo painted the brick above it a light gray color to match the flooring and stick to a cooler palette.

17 of 20

Painted Wood

If you want to lighten up wood paneling, simply paint over them. Catherine Kwong chose a creamy white to cover the wood panels for an airy feel in this open concept Hawaiian escape.

18 of 20

Hanging Rugs

Dee Murphy hung rug tapestries as "headboards." It's not as complicated and labor-intensive as upholstering a wall or even wallpapering one, but it adds just as much warmth. It's also a great way to repurpose an old rug instead of just tossing it.

19 of 20

Painterly Wallpaper

Anthony Dunning covered the refrigerator in the same wallpaper for a cohesive, jewel-box effect. The graphic black and white print mimics brush strokes for an extra bold statement.

20 of 20

Mural

A mural spans from wall to wall in this living room by Raji RM. The scale alone leaves you awe-stuck, as if you're in a museum alone with this painting, while the approachable materials throughout the space tone it down for a touch of approachability.
