Which wallpaper method do you use most in your dollhouse? 🙂

I noticed that whenever I work on a new miniature room, I almost always end up debating the wallpaper again 😂

Sometimes I use scrapbook paper because it’s quick and easy. Other times I print my own wallpaper designs. And every now and then I even end up testing wrapping paper because I liked the pattern too much to ignore it.

So now I’m curious what everyone here prefers most in their own dollhouses and miniature rooms!

1 Scrapbook paper

Very easy to work with and there are endless patterns available.

What I like:

• thicker and easier to glue neatly
• less wrinkling
• often already has good texture and color

Small downside:

• patterns can sometimes look too large for scale
• thicker paper can make corners bulky

2 Printable wallpaper

I probably use this the most lately because you can fully control the scale and style. And of course I have my own Etsy store with wallpaper. You can also get quite a few FREE ones right here on this page; 

What I like:

• easy to resize
• endless vintage and modern options
• easier to match with floors and furniture

Small downside:

• Thin printer paper can wrinkle
• Home printers sometimes change colors slightly

3.0 Wrapping paper

This one surprises me sometimes. I’ve found some beautiful tiny-scale patterns on gift wrap.

What I like:

• very cheap
• huge variety during holidays
• some patterns work perfectly in miniature

Small downside:

• often very thin
• tears more easily during gluing
• Shiny finishes can sometimes look unrealistic

I’d really love to know:

• Which method do you use most?
• Have you found a paper type that works surprisingly well?
• Do you seal your wallpaper afterward or leave it as-is?
• And what glue gives you the least headaches? 😅

Photos very welcome too because I always love seeing different wallpaper styles in miniature rooms.

Happy crafting!
