Wall coverings are an incredible way to create an unforgettable room. However, these days with all of the available options, it can easily become overwhelming. Maybe you would like to make a bold statement or an artistic expression, possibly a nod to luxury or give an ‘om’ to zen—trust us, there are spectacular wallpapers to support your vision.
A few tips to keep in mind when choosing wallpaper:
1. Nothing is permanent. Many people are hesitant about committing to applying wallpaper for fear that it would be too much of a change. Materials and labor can be as expensive or inexpensive as your budget will allow, you can always change the look of a room dramatically or subtly, and if you are unhappy with the result—remove it!
2. Consider your goal. Do you want to make a statement? If so, choose a bold pattern and perhaps do only one wall. If you are lacking artwork, this can be a wonderful way to add interest to a room.
3. Smaller prints can add a level of sophistication and still allow room for decorating with art, mirrors, or wall sculptures.
4. Florals are fabulous! If you’re classic, choose a timeless Gracie floral or Chinoiserie. If you’re more whimsical or even have an edge in your style, try a new Trove floral or perhaps a bold Ellie Cashman design.
