Liven Up Any room

Wallpaper Can Add Spice To Any Room

Tired of the same old off white wall space? Ready to brighten up your room and add contrast to your decor? A very simple method to add spice to your life is by utilizing colorful wall paper.

Set The Tone -Today’s wallpaper can offer a variety of tones and color.

Florals, stripes, designs in any color - wallpaper manufacturers off a huge selection of designs an patterns ranging from the traditional to the bold and daring. No longer do you have to settle for the chintzes or soft floral patterns of yesteryear. Almost every design and color you can imagine is available, from bold stripes, raised textures, iridescent colors, retro patterns and even themed designs of your favorite movie, cartoon on sports team. Today’s manufacturers are able to use sophisticated imaging tools to recreate scenes that mimic everything from a Tahiti beach scene to a medieval castle scene.

So How Do You Choose The Right Wallpaper?

Since today’s wallpaper offers so many options, you can latterly transform any room. By selecting a large and bold pattern or a dark color, you can pull the wall in which will help the room seem smaller and more intimate. By choosing smaller patterns, like duplicating pattern, soft floral or lighter color, we can create the illusion of a larger room. If you would rather have a wall seem wider, use soft colors with a horizontal stripe. And of course you can make that same wall seem taller by adding a vertical stripe pattern.

Rip and Layer

If you are unsure about the pattern, or would like a truly custom look, find yourself a rip and layer wallpaper. These papers have subtle blotches and patterns of colors that easily blend with each other. Simply tear the wallpaper into “chunks” between 1 and 2 foot in size, soak and then apply. The concept is not to try and have the pieces match up n the wall, but to overlay the paper to cover all the blank wall space. By doing this you will have effectively created your own wallpaper design, and after doing this myself several times, it is a fast method to achieve spectacular.

Finishing Touches - It’s Border Time

Borders can be used to add the finishing touch to your wallpaper by adding a balanced contrast, or subtle designs. Most borders will come in varying widths and with patterned edges such as scalloped bottoms on diamond cut designs. You can choose to use a wallpaper border as the traditional top border, by itself, or as a medium to add architectural effect when used as wainscoting.

Remember, the whole idea was to quickly add spice without spending too much. Be creative, have fun, and experiment a little on one wall first. For the time and money, a little play will not only add enjoyment to the process, but could save you a bundle in the future.
Happy Decorating.
