Choosing a Wallpaper Type
There are loads of different kinds of wallpaper can be found these days. In the past, wallpaper used to mean paper with different types of prints. Now, they are available in a variety of materials like metallic, linen, vinyl, textural, and even silk. Choose the right type considering your budget, interior design, and the weather. For example, thick and durable wallpaper is suitable for places where humidity level is high.

What’s your Design Style?
The choice of wallpaper will also depend on your room’s design, color on the walls, decorations, and the theme that you want to create. For example, if your preferred style is romantic, you can use muted-colored fine linen wallpaper with damask and floral motifs. If you are looking for a modern, chic style, go for bold geometrics with deep gloss and metallic accents. Choose an organic, smooth floral design for a casual style.

Choose the Perfect Place
Considering the design of your room, you have to find out the way to use the wallpaper. You cannot use it as you wish and not all styles work in the same way. You can cover all the walls, create an accent wall, or make art pieces with wallpaper. If you want to cover all the walls, choose a simple design so that the room does not look congested and overloaded. On the other hand, you should use a bold, dramatic pattern in case of creating an accent wall. It can also be used on the ceiling, as upholstery of chairs and stools, and as framed art pieces to hang on the walls.
Homeowners using wallpaper for the first time should avoid complex or small patterns because it will be difficult for them to match with their home interior.
