Wallpaper: the classiest way to elevate any space. Murals, accents, textures, patterns, and statements abound. With so many ways to style wallpaper, it can be hard to narrow down the perfect design for your space.
Before deciding on the wallpaper, it’s important to know whether you’re covering a single wall or an entire room. This context will inform every step of your wallpaper journey, from a Pinterest board to a dream come true.
Full Room
Full-room wallpaper works best when using bold patterns in large spaces, or simple, light patterns in small spaces. When you opt for wall-to-wall wallpaper, your goal is typically to make the wallpaper the star. If you have a room that’s lacking statement pieces, full-room wallpaper could be the missing ingredient.
Accent Wall
Accent walls draw the eye to one focal point, guiding visitors into and around the room. Accent walls are a great method to showcase specific design elements. Whether that’s your favorite piece of furniture—this works particularly well for beds, couches, or desks—or an architectural feature of your home.
If you’re set on a busy wallpaper, you may choose to create an accent wall, rather than overwhelming the space with a wall-to-wall design.
Choosing the Right Wallpaper
Once you’ve determined your design goals, it’s time to choose the right paper. Mis-matched paper can ruin even the most carefully considered placement.
As we’ve discussed, your wallpaper has to work with your goals. You don’t want to overwhelm a room with a too-busy pattern, but you don’t want to make a room feel cavernous and empty by picking something too simple. When choosing your wallpaper, consider how it will interact with the room’s size, your existing decor, lighting, and self-expression.
