Take a look at those stark white walls in your home\u2014what a wonderful opportunity for expressing your personal style and creativity. Wallpapers and fabrics in myriad patterns can transform an entire room or a small area into a warm, inviting space that makes a statement. Replacing a tired wall covering or a pattern that has outgrown its usefulness can also change the whole decor.<\/p>\n
Choose wallcoverings to reflect the desired feel for the room and its adjoining spaces. Printed wallpapers in delicate patterns of pastels, for example, create a cozy feel for a bedroom. Bolder and larger patterns can make an over-sized room more intimate. Many choices have more light themes suggesting the rooms in which they will hang, such as a wallpaper patterned in fruits for the dining area.<\/p>\n
Remember that types of wallpapers can determine the mood of room and reflect the person who uses the space, such as in a child’s or a teen’s bedroom or playroom. Flocked papers suggest a dressier and highly feminine look, and relief papers, those with embossed design, have a textured style. Coverings of grass cloth\/burlap and cork-faced coverings lend an airy, more casual style and are often used in a den or bar area.<\/p>\n
Foil coverings can be jazzy, with a modern air to liven up a small space or an entire wall. Vinyl coated and solid vinyl papers are particularly useful in spaces such as kitchens and dining nooks.<\/p>\n
Both paper-backed and unbacked fabric wallcoverings are marvelous ways for “upholstering” your walls to provide a dramatic backdrop for your furnishings and personal objects. They may coordinate with drapes and furniture upholstery, or may bring out a pattern to complement other fabrics in the same room.<\/p>\n
These wallpapers and coverings can be used for the entire wall, and they may also be applied with borders to break up the pattern on a large wall. Whether it’s a Colonial or regional touch, country look or modern, sleek style you want, there’s a pattern to suit your needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
