If you are thinking of decorating your home on your own and without any complications, buying wallpaper is the easiest and most fun way to give it a new look and personalize the walls, furniture or accessories.
And best of all, you’ll save time and money. And don’t forget there’s a whole range of designs to choose from.
Classic, modern, floral, botanical, geometric wallpaper with avant-garde designs and patterns. There’s something for every taste and personality!
Putting up wallpaper should not be too difficult. However, in order to choose properly and decorate you have to consider some important aspects. Check out these tips for decorating with wallpaper.
Check the walls where the wallpaper will go
Before choosing the design and colour of the wallpaper, check the walls where you will use it. If it is not in optimal conditions, it is recommended that you solve any anomaly that could damage the correct installation or that could cause the final result to be unsatisfactory.
For example, the walls should not have any humidity leaks; if there are imperfections on the wall, these will be noticed when you place the wallpaper. If the wall has a textured finish, you will have to plaster it to install the wallpaper. These are just some of the things you need to pay attention to.
Make a thorough inspection of all the walls where you will be placing the wallpaper!

Combine wallpaper properly
Try to make the decoration harmonious. It is advisable that the wallpaper you choose combines with the tones of the textiles, ornaments, accessories or furniture in the space. If the place you want to decorate is small, cover only one wall with minimalist motifs and light colours. If the space is large, use wallpaper for two or more walls: In this case, you can choose intense colours.
Seek a balance between the different designs
If you prefer to combine different designs, it is essential that there is a balance between colours, motifs and patterns. Can you imagine mixing a geometric wallpaper with a floral one in the same room? It is visually counterproductive!
So take this into account: if you choose a wallpaper with a rather striking design, such as a grunge texture, with big figures, like this one of Canadian fauna, or one with a lot of colours, you should place on the other walls of the room neutral colours and smoother or minimalist designs, so as not to saturate the space or fall into extravagance.
Consider the size of the room
One of the basic rules of interior decoration that also applies to the selection of wallpaper is the following: keep in mind the dimensions of the room where you will place the paper.
Why? Because of the smooth designs, simple lines and light tones give the feeling that the room is wider and brighter. On the other hand, saturated patterns, designs overloaded with figures and textures and dark colours make the room look smaller than it is. Don’t forget this advice!
Is it necessary to contact a professional?
Installing wallpaper is much easier than it used to be. If you don’t know how to install wallpaper, here are the installation steps.
However, if you do not have the time or motivation to do so, it is advisable to hire the services of trained professionals to install it and achieve the best results when hanging the wall coverings.
Although the installation of the mural does not require experience, if you decide to do it on your own, another very important piece of advice is that two people work together to align the patterns more easily.
On the other hand, our customer service can also advise you on the installation or calculate the number of rolls.
