Things You'll Need:
- Latex paint
- Paint brushes
- Paint trays
- Wallpaper
- Wallpaper border
- Wallpaper glue
- Wallpaper sponge
- Water-based varnish
Step #1
Choose wallpaper that coordinates with the decor of the room where you'll place the desk. Consider using two or more patterns of wallpaper to create a designer-style decorated desk.
- Step2
Remove the drawers and knobs of the desk. Clean the desk thoroughly inside and out so the paint and the wallpaper has a quality surface to adhere to.
- Step3
Paint the desk with latex paint in a color that will blend with the colors in the wallpaper you selected.
- Step4
Lay the wallpaper on the desk in the manner of your choice. Consider wallpaper meant for walls on the top and sides of the desk and a matching border on the drawer fronts.
- Step5
Cover the desk surface, back and front, with wallpaper paste, and lay the wallpaper into place. Start in the center and work your way toward the edge for best results. Use a straight edge to trim away excess wallpaper. This ensures a sharp edge once the wallpaper is totally dry.
- Step6
Coat the entire desk with a water-based varnish to protect the newly decorated desk.
