Choosing the Right Wallpaper

There is literally thousands of different colors, different patterns
even different types of wallpaper. How do you know which color,
or which pattern will suit it’s surroundings the best? Read on,
and you will have a good idea!

Color / Pattern
- This for the most part is a personal chose; However there are
simple things you can do to choose a color/pattern that will
actually work. If you like the hot pink wallpaper and the rest of
your house is done in marble I would recommend shying away
from your personal preference and going with something that is
going to last and add value to your home not take away from it.

There are several guides that can help you pick colors that
match it’s surroundings and that fit in. A simple rule is choose
like color’s and tones. For example if your thinking green, and
the opposite wall is maroon. Choose a green that is the same tone
as the maroon. Don’t pick like glossy shiny green, when the
maroon is a dull light shade.

Types
- Several different types of wallpaper exist, and a lot of this
choice is going to depend on it’s application, and your budget.
For example Vinyl wallpaper is very durable and is perfect
for rooms like kitchens and bathrooms as it can be scrubbed,
and will not hold stains.

Vinyl-Coated Wallpaper is just like Vinyl Wallpaper however
it is not quite as durable and will hold stains. Can you see how
the difference between these two styles is going to make a big
difference in placement. You might think that having a really
expensive custom wallpaper in your kitchen is desirable but
when your toddler flings some spaghetti sauce on it, and it
stains, you are going to be wishing you had chosen something
more practical.

This is only meant to be a rough educational guide on
wallpapers. There are several aspects of wallpapers that I
didn’t cover. I recommend talking to a professional at a
wallpaper store, when it comes time to re-decorate your house.
Make sure to ask lots of questions as wallpapers will last time
if chosen wisely.
