1. Decide on the desired aesthetic result
Consider the theme, style, and atmosphere you want to create. Are you drawn to bold and vibrant patterns, or do you prefer subtle and understated designs? Do you want to add a touch of nature with floral or botanical motifs, or are you looking for a more contemporary and geometric look? Take your time to explore different options and find a wallpaper that resonates with your vision.

2. Accent wall or go full on
An accent wall can instantly transform a room - this technique not only adds depth and character to your space but also allows you to experiment with different styles. Choose a wall that stands out, such as the one behind your bed, sofa, or dining table. You can apply a captivating wallpaper to this wall, opt for bold patterns or intricate designs that complement the existing colour palette and furnishings, creating a striking visual impact without overwhelming the entire room.
To effectively use wallpaper throughout an entire room, it's important to strike a balance. One approach is to choose a wallpaper that has a more subtle pattern or a muted colour palette, allowing it to serve as a backdrop for your furniture and decor. This way, the wallpaper adds texture and depth to the room without stealing the spotlight.
Additionally, consider using wallpaper as a border or paneling, focusing on specific sections of the walls rather than covering the entire surface. This approach allows you to incorporate the wallpaper as an accent while running through the room and still maintaining a balanced and harmonious overall look.

3. Consider how lighting changes colours
Wallpapers can appear different under various lighting conditions, so it is crucial to evaluate how the colours and patterns of your choice interact with natural light and artificial lighting sources in order to achieve your desired look.
This is where a sample of your chosen wallpaper would come in handy as you get a really good idea how a particular design will look on your wall under various lighting conditions. In addition, it makes the selection process easier when you see how this looks next to your existing designs, how well it goes with your furniture and other wallpaper or paint you are considering to match it with.

4. Harmonize with existing décor
When incorporating wallpapers into your home, it's essential to ensure harmony with your existing décor. Consider the colours, patterns, and textures already present in the room. If you have bold furniture or statement pieces, opt for more subtle wallpapers to avoid overwhelming the space. On the other hand, if your furnishings are more neutral, you can use wallpapers to introduce pops of colour and patterns that tie the room together.
Another creative way to personalize the space is by using wallpaper on the ceiling or in unexpected areas like the back of a built-in shelving unit or the inside of a closet. These unexpected touches can add a touch of whimsy and surprise, transforming ordinary into eye-catching focal points, making the room feel uniquely yours.

Wallpapers have the power to create an illusion of depth and dimension. You can play with it to make the room feel taller or to add width. Metallic or reflective wallpapers can bounce light around the room and create a sense of spaciousness. Additionally, choosing wallpapers with textured or embossed surfaces adds tactile interest, making the walls more visually appealing.
