Tips for selecting wallpapers for your entire home
Choosing the right wallpaper in the right measurement and quantity is tricky, to say the least. There are several aspects involved when you are planning to get wallpaper for walls. The right wallpaper can make your room look spacious, brighter and warmer. If chosen properly, the right wallpaper can hide imperfections too.
Consider these few aspects before hunting for the right wallpapers, thank us later!
a. Colour is the major mood setter
Take a cue from colour and shades. After all, a space appears larger or a ceiling higher, all thanks to the chosen colour scheme. With cool-colour backgrounds lie green, blue, violet, you get the illusion of space in your room. At the same time, soft colours make it look fresh and cool, while warm colours like red, orange and yellow make it look warm. Keep the climate in your area as a major factor before choosing the colour of your wallpaper.
b. Watch out for the direction and light
In north-facing room, or a dark hallway, or a room without many windows to let light in, make sure to use a wallpaper that would reflect light. The best ones in this aspect are light coloured wallpapers or those with metallic or iridescent shades. Patterns with smooth surfaces reflect light to its maximum. Dark shades must be avoided.
c. Textures can hide imperfections
If your walls have flaws, patterns with real or perceived textures can easily camouflage the defects. Patterns like grass or string motifs, floral textures, or marble, wood, leather fabric and even animal skin make a great choice as wallpapers if you need to bring on some dramatic look.
d. Choose the right style
Whether you want a formal look or a casual approach for a particular room, you need to pick the right wallpaper accordingly. The simplest way to perk up the casual look of a room can be done by using a polka dot wallpaper or a bright bordered one.
e. Mix and match
The right amount of pattern is the key to make the room look perfect. While you mix stripes, florals, or monochromes in a room and its adjacent spaces, make sure to pick patterns that repeat the same colour or effect of that colour.
Make sure to take the right measurements of your rooms before you go hunting for wallpaper for walls. You may take expert’s advice and suggestions regarding anything related to texture, colour, and size of the wallpaper.
