From Blank Space to Beautiful: A Family Home Refresh with the Aurora Wallpaper

When Details Make the Difference

Designing a home that truly reflects your lifestyle isn’t about rushing to fill every room. It’s about taking your time, curating meaningful moments, and letting your personal style guide each decision. For our customer—an interior stylist with an eye for cozy charm—this meant turning a quiet, empty wall into a small but mighty hub of comfort. Whether you’re someone who appreciates the ritual of a slow morning coffee or simply loves a well-styled corner, this story will inspire you to look at your blank walls a little differently.

Turning a Blank Wall Into a Favourite Spot

When her clients moved into their new home, they were greeted with a series of empty walls and undefined nooks—common territory for new homeowners. One of those spaces, tucked just off the kitchen, seemed to be begging for purpose. Rather than letting it sit unnoticed, our customer proposed something a little more personal: a cozy coffee and tea station designed for slow starts, thoughtful pauses, and family connection.

The client, a talented photographer with an appreciation for thoughtful design, instantly connected with the idea. They browsed a few wallpaper selections together, but one stood out right away: our Aurora Wallpaper. The client’s reaction was immediate—it felt like it was made for the space.

Small Space, Big Impact: Why Peel-and-Stick Works

It’s no secret that wallpaper has the power to transform a room, but it’s especially effective in smaller or overlooked areas. Our Canadian-made peel-and-stick wallpaper options make styling simple, especially for renters or homeowners who love to switch things up. Easy to apply and remove, these murals and wall decals add instant charm without a long-term commitment.

In this case, the Aurora Wallpaper brought a rich, layered depth to the once-empty wall. Its florals provided warmth and romance, while its colour palette created a sense of calm that flowed seamlessly into the rest of the home. With just one wall treatment, the family gained a whole new experience—a space that invites conversation, comfort, and connection.

The Aurora Mural: Soft, Moody, and Full of Character

What sets the Aurora Wallpaper apart? It’s that rare combination of elegance and edge. Available in both Dawn and Dusk variations, it features bouquet-style florals with a distinctly vintage vibe. It feels timeless but fresh—perfect for homes that blend modern function with cozy charm.

In this refresh, the Dusk palette was the winner. Its mix of dusky pinks, golden mustard, and deep burgundy made the perfect backdrop for floating wooden shelves and simple brass accents. The mural didn’t just add beauty—it grounded the space and made it feel complete.

Bringing the Coffee Corner to Life

Once the wallpaper was in place, the rest came together naturally. Open wood shelves were installed to hold the client’s collection of favourite mugs, tea jars, and personal touches. Functional details—like matte black hooks and layered linens—kept things practical without compromising on style.

A vintage kettle added charm, while small framed prints and keepsakes made the nook feel like a part of the family story. In the end, this wall went from a forgotten stretch of drywall to a beloved corner used every day.

Design Tips for Your Own Refresh

You don’t need a massive renovation to fall in love with your home again. Start with one wall—especially one that currently feels like an afterthought. Select a peel-and-stick wallpaper that resonates with your style, then build around it. Add functional storage, personal details, and pieces that make you smile.

Our wall decals and murals are made to simplify the process, especially for Canadian customers looking for easy, renter-friendly updates. You’d be surprised how much impact one statement wall can make.
