Wallpaper can be a difficult thing to choose when it comes to interior decorating. It’s often made so by the fact that you’re not only choosing color, but textures and patterns as well.
One tip that is often overlooked regarding this is to be careful when looking around for current trends when choosing wallpaper. Dated wallpaper will date your house very quickly and so it’s often best to lean more towards classical designs in your selection.
Here are some more hints to consider to help you choose the right wallpaper.
- Avoid stripes. If the room is not perfectly squire, lining up those stripes and making them look straight will be a nightmare.
- In rooms with low natural light, choose warmer colors.
- Use vinyl for kitchens and bathrooms as it will cut your cleaning time down dramatically.
- Large patterns go in large rooms. Too much in a smaller space will only exaggerate the fact.
- Use samples. Pin them to the wall and see how they look in various lighting, and how they mesh with your furnishings.
