One area of the residential property you need to look at is wallpaper. This can completely transform any room. You can alter a space’s look and feel by adding texture, colour, and pattern to your walls. It does both in a way that paint just can’t.

The size of your rooms should not restrict you here. Wallpapers are for more than simply just big open-plan spaces. With the right paper, you can bring even tiny rooms to life. Saying this, there are several things you don’t want to do when choosing your wallpaper. Read on to find out what they are.

Buying too soon

We will start with what is probably the biggest offender. You should never buy before you try. This will sound obvious but it does happen. Like you would with paint, it is an excellent idea to acquire some samples before buying an entire roll. Test the paper first to get a feel for the colour and texture in the natural light. You may find it doesn’t look or feel the same as it does in a shop with bright lights.

No assumptions

Don’t assume that pattern is your only option either. There is no requirement for wallpaper to have heavy patterns to give a powerful impression. You are free to purchase a plain and pretty wallpaper to add texture and colour to your rooms if you choose to. Also, wallpaper tends to show dirt less if you compare to paint.

Moving back to our previous point for a moment, take your samples and pin them on your walls to see if they work. You may find the pattern you thought was too much fits perfectly or that a simpler one looks better.
