"I can't stop wallpapering. It's sick," admits Christiana Coop, who has turned her San Francisco apartment into a lab of sorts. An interior design consultant and U.S. representative of Denmark-based Ferm Living, Coop finds easy, innovative ways to transform her home ― from stairs to ceiling ― with modern, colorful wallpaper.

"I like to use it as art so that it adds a fun dimension but doesn't overtake the space," she says. By choosing smaller projects, she gets to experiment without committing an entire room to a single color or pattern.

THE TOOLS YOU'LL NEED

1. Wallpaper and wallpaper paste

2. Tape measure and ruler

3. Scissors

4. Craft knife (such as an X-Acto knife)

INFO The wallpapers used in these projects are from Ferm Living. For more info and a design consultation, contact Coop directly (415/399-1559).
