This Wallpaper DIY Will Refresh Your WFH Space In A Snap
Let's face it: When the weather is warming up outside, the last thing you want to do is sit inside and work at a desk all day (especially after spending the whole winter cooped up).
But your home office doesn't have to feel dull and stagnant if you bring those bright, sunny springtime vibes inside. To show you how to do it, we pulled together the inspiration you need to give your work-from-home area an affordable, cheerful revamp using peel-and-stick wallpaper as the star of the show — all thanks to DIY and decor essentials from Walmart.
All you have to do is a little paint prep, roll your color(s) of choice out on the wall, apply the wallpaper for a pop of pattern, and voila: You have a totally refreshed workspace, just in time for spring.
