Stair Upgrade

Do you have boring stairs? You should consider giving them this awesome upgrade!

It might seem odd at first, but as you can see, the results truly are amazing!

Dresser Upgrade

Don’t throw out that old dresser! Make it cute and stylish again with a fresh coat of paint and some contact paper! Simply take the drawers out and cut some contact paper to size. You’ll want the piece of contact paper to be slightly larger than the face of the drawer so you can tuck in the ends and cover the drawer completely.

Faux Wood Cabinets

Since there are so many different kinds of contact paper patterns available, it’s easy to find a wood pattern to use to cover your current cabinets in! You might be skeptical at first, but just look at the end result! We love it.

Marble Microwave

Tired of your boring microwave? Add a splash of style to your kitchen by covering the microwave with some contact paper! It might be fun to add a splash of color, or you can go the marble route like in the example above.

Accent Wall

This might be our favorite idea, and of course, it’s the most time-consuming. But, totally worth it! This is such a fun way to add texture to any room with a fun accent wall. By using contact paper, you eliminate the mess that comes with painting, plus, you can get fun designs that might not otherwise be possible to do by hand.
