Just a hint of wallpaper

I love the idea of wall paper, but in practice, I often find that it overwhelms the room. Give the choice I'd usually go for clean, light colored walls to make the space feel airy and bright.

However, I love this idea of doing one small wall in wallpaper, particulary at the end of the hallway.... Enough to give it character, but not so much that the space feels closed in.

This especially works because the background color of the wallpaper matches the paint of the hallway.
