Two Of Joanna Gaines' Most Popular Wallpaper Prints For A Fixer Upper Look

Wallpaper has come a long way since its 16th-century inception, and today, it's a designer-used and approved staple for decorating homes that are visually and texturally appealing without the hassle of breaking out a paintbrush. With so many options on the market, it may seem impossible to choose the right wallpaper for your space. But, you may want to consider two timeless and versatile wallpapers from the queen of farmhouse chic herself, Joanna Gaines. The interior designer behind HGTV's hit "Fixer Upper" and the renowned Magnolia lifestyle brand has made it easy for fans to create fixer-upper masterpieces of their own with her Magnolia Home collection, which contains curated wallpapers to elevate any space. Two of her bestsellers, Pick Up Sticks in black and white and Grasscloth in black, can add elegance to nearly any space.

Both bestsellers incorporate natural monochrome colors and are exciting ways to provide visual interest with pattern or texture. In the past, Joanna Gaines has shared that wallpaper is an "easy way to add pattern, design, and emphasis to any wall in any room," (via Magnolia Facebook) and we couldn't agree more. This is especially true for wallpapers such as these two that are neutral enough to work alongside most other colors and shades or to set a bold timeless palette and perfect the monochrome look in any room. We'll break down why you'll love these bestselling Magnolia Home wallpapers, plus we share the best Joanna Gaines-approved ways to use them in your space.

The "Fixer Upper" star has used wallpaper for entire rooms, to make a bold statement on the lower half of a wall, or for a captivating accent wall. Her two bestsellers make excellent choices to use in similar ways. Many find that wallpaper is better than painting because it allows you to add pattern and texture to walls easily, and these two are no exception. Fans have used Pick Up Sticks in black and white to create a gorgeous bathroom accent wall, but because of its monochrome colors and delicate herringbone pattern, it's perfect for creating an accent wall in nearly any space and will pair well with diverse hues. 

From muted grays and neutral greens to bright teals and pinks, the sky's the limit for creating a color palette using this wallcovering. Or, cover an entire small room like a laundry, mudroom, or bath in this pattern for a more intense aesthetic, something Joanna Gaines has done using wallpapers in the past. The other bestseller from the Magnolia Home collection, Grasscloth in black, is perfect for creating a bold statement accent wall as many customers do. Or as Joanna Gaines does, use a fierce wallcovering on the lower half of a wall for visual interest and elegance that doesn't overwhelm. Since this gorgeous textured wallpaper is dark, broody, and bold, we recommend using Magnolia Homes' styling tip, shared on Facebook, and creating a sense of balance by pairing with neutral furniture and decor.
