       Patterns in Large and Small Sizes
  • It's a common misconception that you must choose patterns in the same scale as the area, such as small patterns for small rooms and large prints for large rooms.
  • You absolutely have the ability to do so, but your design may be quite uninteresting.
  • In a small bathroom, a huge wallpaper pattern might be a dramatic design decision.

  • Textured wallpaper is a good choice if you want to add a layer of texture and design depth to your space.

  • Use an accent wall behind the desk or above wainscoting or a chair rail as a focal point.
  • You might use textured wallpaper, such as grass cloth, embossed, or flocked, in a warm living room or den design.

  • A room with limited natural light is a great option for a gleaming metallic wallpaper, which will reflect light and allow it to penetrate deeper into the space.
  • Reflecting wallpaper works well in a small windowless half bath, and imitation tin ceiling wallpaper works well in a historic kitchen or dining room.
  • Make Rooms Appear Smaller or Larger
  • The scale of the pattern can make a room appear bigger or smaller.
  • Use a huge print with a darker background to visually shrink the scale of a large room.
  • The pattern and color contrast will give the illusion of bringing the walls in closer together, giving the room a crosier feel.
        Make Walls Appear Taller and Longer

  • You can use wide or narrow stripes, as well as irregular stripes like vine or paisley patterns.
       Where  To Use Wallpaper
  • Interior wallpaper can be used in a variety of ways in your home.
  • It can be used on every wall in a space or only on an accent wall.
  • Wallpaper can be used to highlight wall space that has been divided up by built-ins or to break up a large wall space.
       Accent Walls
  • Wallpaper's capacity to convert a room into a design with depth and beauty is one of its most appealing features.
  • The most cost-effective and straightforward option is to use a solid wall as a wallpaper accent wall.
  • For an attractive and warm design visual in the master bedroom, choose the wall behind the bed.
  • In the same space, use two distinct wallpapers, such as a stripe for an accent wall in a bedroom and a jacquard print for the other walls.
  • Consider a zebra print or a lush tropical leaf pattern for your accent wallpaper.
        Wainscoting
  • Another stylish technique to accentuate a décor is to use wallpaper atop wainscoting.
  • You may match the style and colours of your dining room, den, kitchen, or even your bedroom with a pattern.
  • There are numerous backdrop types, shadings, and surfaces to choose from.
  • Decide whether you need to cover all dividers or if an accent divider would be a better fit for your space layout.
