Sometimes all it takes is one little project to totally change the feel of a space. I’d been craving a cozy bedroom refresh, but I didn’t have the time (or let’s be honest, the energy!) for a full-blown makeover. That’s when I landed on the idea of doing a single accent wall with geometric wallpaper and layering in some soft, neutral bedding. The result? A space that feels brand new. No mess, no stress, no major commitment.
The best part? This little update took less than three hours and made such a difference. Whether you’re in a dorm, apartment, or just want to cozy up your current bedroom, this is one of those easy DIYs you can totally do too.

Why I Chose a DIY Geometric Wallpaper Wall

I’ve always been drawn to bold patterns, but I also like to keep things feeling calm and cozy. That’s why I fell in love with this geometric wallpaper from Katie Kime. It has just the right mix of neutral tones and eye-catching design. It instantly added personality to the room without being too loud or overwhelming.
Geometric prints feel modern and playful, and they were the perfect match for the look I was going for. Plus, since this wallpaper is removable, it’s totally renter-friendly and commitment-free. I love a project that feels like a big change but is actually low effort, that’s pretty much my design motto: small changes, big cozy results.

DIY Wallpaper Install | What You Need to Know (Even if You Get Help!)

Okay, real talk… I had a handyman help me install the wallpaper, but I watched the whole process and learned exactly how it’s done. And honestly? If you’ve got the right tools and a little patience, this is 100% something you can do yourself. It’s a great beginner-friendly DIY project that makes a big impact.
Here’s what you’ll need (all easy to find on Amazon):
- A sturdy ladder
- A large plastic taping knife (this helps smooth out any air bubbles)
- A level (so your pattern stays straight!)
- An X-Acto knife (for trimming around windows, outlets, and baseboards)
The install process is super straightforward:
- Start by peeling from the top of the panel.
- Align the pattern and use the level to keep everything straight.
- Slowly drop the panel down while smoothing with the taping knife.
- Trim the edges neatly at the bottom and around any corners or obstacles.
It’s one of those projects that feels intimidating at first, but once you get the hang of it, it’s actually really satisfying. Just take your time, be precise, and you’ll be amazed at how polished it looks in the end.

Once the wallpaper was up, I knew the room needed something soft and cozy to balance out the bold pattern. Time for a mini bedding makeover! I stuck with neutral tones and comfy textures to keep things warm and inviting, and I grabbed everything from Amazon to keep it super easy and affordable.
