Architectural wallpaper and other types of wallcoverings are a great way to decorate your home with a powerful statement piece, transforming the look of a room without the need for renovation. While many interior designers have embraced these types of wallcoverings, homeowners looking to decorate may have stayed away from architectural coverings in the past not knowing how to utilize it properly in the home. Here are a few tips on how to decorate with architectural wallcoverings.
Match Colors
Obviously, you’ll want the wallcovering to flow with the rest of the room. The best and easiest way to achieve this is to match the covering to a color already present in the room. You may choose a minor accent color, in order to make it subtle but still work well with the rest of your room. If you do opt to go this route, try to bring something in that accent color to the covering supplier as you shop to ensure the best possible match. Also, if possible, ask for a small sample of the covering ahead of time, so you can bring it home and test the result.
Make It A Focal Point
Making your covering the focal point of the room is a great way to ensure that you don’t overwhelm the room with other items competing for visual attention. This can make your room seem cluttered and chaotic. Use simple design elements throughout the rest of the room in order to create an optimal atmosphere.
Review Cleaning Instructions
Once you’ve chosen a design, material, and color you like, and once you have it hung up in your home, you’ll want to ensure that it stays in peak condition for as long as possible. Be sure to carefully and frequently review the cleaning instructions issued by the supplier. The best way to keep any one of these types of coverings clean depends entirely on the material. Ask your supplier if you are in any way uncertain about ongoing care and maintenance of your covering.
