Your walls are a statement piece to the home, and it can sometimes be a bit overwhelming when deciding what to go for! And whether you are looking for a statement piece or something more subtle, we’re here to provide you with a couple of ideas to brighten up your home and make this decision a little less challenging. From your living room to your bedroom, it’s time to dress your home to impress. Here are 15 wallpaper ideas to give your walls a renewed look.
Bold Statement
Introducing a bold wallpaper is the best way to make a first impression. You can do this by adding a bright colour like red, green or yellow or a patterned wallpaper like stripped, circled or squared.
Textured walls
Textured walls can bring calmness into a room. A few examples you can use are Tiles, Timber, Leather and Suede. What’s great about incorporating texture into your room is that you don’t need to spend lots of time decorating, as the walls do it for you! This is also an easy option to DIY.
Canvas Wall Art
Imagine yourself opening your bedroom door and finding a handcrafted piece that brings you a beautiful memory or gives you goosebumps. Something that helps you unwind from your busy day. Canvas wall art is a great way to elevate the style of your home. With lots of different style options, including colour, size and texture, a canvas is the perfect finishing touch for your walls. Canvases can sit anywhere within your home and are one of the most ideal wall accessories.
Enlight with stripes
A great idea to bring something different into your home is to paste some stripped wallpaper across your ceiling. To achieve this effect, it’s worth using an experienced decorator to deliver the best outcome, as when this is executed correctly, it can completely transform your room.
Floral
Why not embrace the outdoors by bringing the floral patterns indoors? Floral patterns can be warming, so applying them to your entryway can immediately set a welcoming tone to your home.
Double Colours
Experimenting with colours and patterns can be scary; however, if done correctly, placing two of the same patterns, in different colours can make your room feel magical. Just remember to match the two designs perfectly!
Matching woodwork
If you’ve gone for a colourful, busy wall, you can match it to the room, break up the ‘busyness’ and make it more cohesive. Matching your paintwork to the wallpaper colour will bring the whole room together! Use a main colour, but keep it more mellow to create the balance.
Geometric
You can incorporate a geometric design if you don’t want to go for the stripe. It gives you the best of both worlds by bringing the classic stripe into your room and something a bit different. You can go even more out there by featuring different colours within the design.
Panelling
Over the past few years, panelling your room has become a huge trend, and now they have started to bring out panel wallpaper. It is the best of both worlds, so once the trend has died down, you can remove the old and bring in the new.
Textured Wallpaper
A bit like the textured walls mentioned earlier – textured wallpaper has become such a great way to add a big personality to a smaller area, such as an entryway. It allows for a focal point while integrating additional textures, colours, and patterns into the space.
Match furniture
Now, this design is very busy, however, when done correctly, it can look very cohesive. Keep it simple with just one piece of furniture, and use other tones from the design for your accessories.
Trick the eye
Small spaces are ideal for bold wallpaper and decorating choices. By utilising a wallpaper with a trompe l’oeil effect, the room can also appear larger than it is.
Match Everything
If you like the idea of matching some furniture, you can make the whole room feel cohesive. Pick out a busy wallpaper design and go crazy. Matching the wallpaper to the accessory colours, fabric and furniture.
Tall ceilings
Think outside of the box when considering wallpaper – it can be used to exaggerate ceiling height if hung vertically. When applying some wallpaper vertically, mirror the line by incorporating linear curtain ties for a satisfyingly symmetrical finish.
Disguise a wardrobe
Wardrobes can block off your room massively. Instead of a large closet being the focus, coat the doors with the same wallpaper as the walls, tricking the eye into making the closet disappear. Just take time to pick out your pattern carefully.
Overall, your house should reflect your style and personality. There are unlimited options to choose from, and when done correctly, it can look beautiful and even make your chosen room look bigger. Just make sure to do your research, find a good supplier and even seek professional help when needed to make your dream a reality.
