How To Choose The Perfect Wallpaper For Your Home

Wallpaper can become the statement in a room, the supporting act and an effective concealer of old walls.

The wallpaper you choose is incredibly important when determining the overall function and feel of your room -  you can choose make a room appear bigger, warmer, and brighter (or vice versa). The progress in new printing techniques and finishes is constantly pushing the boundaries, and the availability of new substrates makes it even more exciting.

To make your space feel a little larger pick patterns with cooler colour backgrounds such as cool greys, blues or greens. Softer cooler colours evoke a sense of tranquility and ease, whilst more intense tones lend a little drama to the room.
If you’re wanting to liven up your space, play with warmer tones such as reds, ochre yellows and sun-kissed orange.

In the darker corners of the home, lean towards wall coverings that will reflect light around the room - think metallic accents or iridescent hues.

Wall coverings with slightly smoother surfaces will aid in reflecting maximum light, whilst playing with textured or embossed wall coverings will assist in creating a moody, yet impactful room.

The scale of your pattern matters. If you want to create a feeling of spaciousness - choose a smaller scaled pattern. On the other hand, if you’re wanting to create a more intimate space, lean towards larger scaled patterns. Panoramics and murals are another wonderful option to really make a statement, creating a room that almost feels like another world.
