In this guide, we will take you through the benefits of using wallpaper and offer guidance to help you incorporate it into your home tastefully.

The Benefits of Wallpaper
Wallpaper is an excellent way to add colour, texture and pattern to the decor throughout your home.
In fact, we believe that it can instantly transform a room - giving it a fresh and vibrant feel! Unlike paint, wallpaper comes in a wide variety of designs, ranging from classic and traditional, to modern and trendy.
Not only that, but it can also be customized to fit your personal style. Wallpaper is also a more durable and long-lasting option, making it a great investment for any homeowner.
Whether you want to make a bold statement or create a subtle backdrop, wallpaper is a versatile and stylish option that can elevate the look of any interior space.
How to Hang Wallpaper
Is it time to add wallpaper, but you aren’t quite sure how to get started? We believe that with the right guidance and approach, nearly anything is possible!
While it may be beneficial to have help from a family or friend who has experience in this area, we believe that this is one task that should be left to the professionals.
The installation can make or break how long you enjoy the result for - and the quality of the work! With help from a professional, you can look forward to years of enjoyment and won’t be tempted to re-do the work due to a mistake.
Where Should I Install Wallpaper?
There are endless possibilities for where and how to incorporate wallpaper throughout your home, as you can see on our instagram feed! One of the best places to use wallpaper is in the living room, where it can add a pop of colour and texture to the space.
Another great place to add wallpaper is in a bedroom, where it can create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. We especially love adding a focal wall within a nursery or along the wall where the headboard from a bed will be placed. This can help to align the room and establish the direction of the bed and where accent furniture could be included.
We especially love wallpaper that is used in the dining room! The dining room is often overlooked when it comes to wallpaper, but it can truly add elegance and sophistication in many ways. Consider adding wallpaper above a wainscotting detail around the perimeter of the room.
Have you ever considered using wallpaper in the powder room? The powder room is actually our favourite place to include wallpaper, because it is such a utilitarian room. It gives you something to look at and enjoy while pampering yourself, tidying up or simply getting ready for the day. And when a powder room looks like the inside of a jewellery box, you can simply forget about what the room is actually for!
FAQ About Working With Wallpaper
Do you have a question or two about wallpaper? Here are some of our most frequently asked questions, and the answers to each one!
What are the benefits of wallpaper?
Wallpaper can add colour, texture and pattern to a room with ease. With the right approach, wallpaper can undoubtedly create a unique and visually appealing space. Not only that, but it can also hide imperfections on walls, all while adding sound insulation to the room especially when using grassclothes and thicker textured papers!
The benefits truly go on and on.
How do I choose the right wallpaper for my space?
To choose the right wallpaper for your interior space, consider the style and colour scheme of the existing room. You will also want to take the purpose of the space into consideration as well.
For example, a bold pattern may work well as a statement wall in the living room, but a more subtle design may be better for a bathroom or bedroom. It’s also important to note the level of humidity within the room. When wallpaper is being installed, proper ventilation is key - especially in a bathroom!
At the end of the day, it really also does come down to your personal preference!
Is wallpaper hard to remove?
Is it time to update the wallpaper in your space? The first step is to have it removed, before you can begin the process of installing a new option. While removing wallpaper used to be a difficult task, it’s not anymore!
In fact, most wallpaper is actually designed for easy removal these days. Making it easier than ever before to give your space a fresh update as the intention for a room or your personal preferences change with time.
