Whether it’s plain or patterned, wallpaper is having a revival. With so many styles available in such a versatile material, being experimental with how and where wallcoverings are used is a great way to create an individual style statement. Wallpaper pro’s GALERIE have given us their rundown of 9 simple ways to use wallpaper for maximum impact.
1. Frame It
A perfect use for rented properties is to create artwork by using wallpaper framed next to one another in a row will draw together an interior scheme for a symmetrical style statement.
2. Go Bold
Complement neutral furnishings with a big, bold hit of colour and pattern on a single wall. A vibrant shade will bring a contemporary twist to traditional floral designs.
3. Combine Wallpaper Patterns
Add interest by using a combination of different papers on each wall of one room. Choosing wallpapers in a similar colour palette or the same pattern in different shades will help unify all four walls.
4. Add Texture
Tactile wallpapers add visual interest to walls for long-lasting appeal. Teamed with textured furnishings, these will enhance the feeling of comfort.
5. Soften a Bedroom Scheme
Set walls free and converse with Mother Nature by incorporating a pretty climbing twig pattern in a muted Scandinavian inspired colour palette that’s compatible for all year round.
6. Create Space with Stripes
Effective in small and large spaces alike, striped wallpaper will widen a room for a more spacious feel, whilst wide stripes also provide the mirage of a taller ceiling.
7. Use on Partition Walls
Using wallpaper on a partition wall will help to create fluidity in an open space allowing two separate areas to feel like one.
8. Enhance a feature
Highlight a feature in a room such as a fireplace by hanging plain wallpaper to the surround and intermixing with a patterned print backdrop for a striking centrepiece with bold impact.
9. Have Fun
Introducing colourful wallpaper adorned with symbols of cool creatures will add a touch of personality to walls for a strong focal point.
