Moving house? A guide to wallpapers and utilities

When you're moving house, making the right decorating and home design decisions are essential. This makes your home look just right, alongside using the right utility providers to cut down on costs whilst getting the quality services you deserve. See our ultimate guide to learn more about how to arrange utilities in your new home and what to do with your wallpaper.

Arranging utilities

One of the first things to do when moving into a new home is to organise the utilities in the property. This includes organising the gas and electricity supply, which makes moving house a quicker and simpler process. By using an external service to support your move to a new home, you remove the need for excessive paperwork and take a lot of the time and effort out of your work.

Utilities entail a lot of aspects of the property. The water supply is one of the more important parts, providing you with a supply of drinking water, with electricity supporting you by powering your home and gas allowing you to heat your property and use hot water. Sorting out utilities is one of the first things to do in your new home. Look for affordable suppliers and make the transition quickly where possible.

Why use wallpaper?

Wallpaper has a huge range of benefits to the homeowner and the property itself, including:

• Durable enough to last for over 15 years in some cases
• Provides a consistent pattern across the entire wall
• Comes in a selection of finishes and designs
• Hides imperfections in the wall underneath's finish
• Has a slight insulating effect on the wall

Interior design also has a proven effect on mental health and well-being, so integrating your wallpaper into your home design is an absolute must.

How to choose your wallpaper

There are several things to consider when picking out your wallpaper, including:

Colour

The specific colour and look of your wallpaper have a big impact on the rest of your room. After all, creating a theme in your room pulls all of the furniture and adornments of the property together, providing a cohesive look to your space. Pick a wallpaper colour that suits the furniture you have, or the furniture you are considering adding to the room.

Finish

Different wallpaper has differing finishes, with some having a 3D look and texture to them, whereas others stay flat to the wall. A more exciting finish could be perfect for a feature wall, where plainer wallpaper is ideal in properties that are showing off the furniture rather than the walls themselves.

Brand

Different brands are known for different things, with certain wallpapers being held in high regard for their longevity and others having extremely high-quality finishes. There are plenty of options for your budget and personal needs.
