Wallpaper Wisdom – How to Pick The Right Wallpaper

How do I choose the right wallpaper? This is a challenge even designers face on a daily basis. When picking out wallpaper, first consider the scale and proportion of the pattern based on the room you are designing. Stay away from over sized designs in small rooms, which can in return overpower them. Or you can break the rules and create a dramatic effect by doing so.

If designing a formal room or entrance, remember to strive for the “wow” factor, in other words – go BOLD. If you are scared to take the plunge, do half the wall separating the wallpaper with a chair rail. In your living room or bedroom, do the opposite. A crazy pattern here may tire you, so opt for a smaller or conservative choice.

Think your finished room looks like a disaster? Take a look at how these designers made it work!
