But don’t you worry as our team at Melbourne Wallpapers are here to give you all the tips and advice to help you choose the wall covering of your taste and style.
The very first tip may sound obvious but it’s the most important question when it comes to selecting a wall covering, that is “What room are you selecting the wallpaper for?’’. “ Which wall would you hang that mural on?”. “Will it be a mural or wallpaper?”
Bedrooms
Bedroom is a place of escape for rest and most of us prefer it to be a peaceful space. These wallpapers should be soothing colours like pale blues, cream, silver & grey. If you love to sleep in the dark with no lights to disturb your sleep, then other bedroom ideas will involve using a dark colour wallpaper like shades of black.
If you want to know more about adding a cherry on top of your bedroom ideas, you may get that by adding our special theater room wallpaper material so it will be absorbing sound and noise waves too giving you the best possible experience. A perfect example of a calming wall design is this mural which works well for feature walls behind the headboard.
Another option is to get minimal and choose the quiet shades of textured natural wallpapers or choose serene delicate patterns of velvet wallpaper. Overall quiet shades create a warm and romantic environment in a bedroom which soothes your soul. More delicate and fragile materials like silk can be chosen for master bedrooms where there will be less wear. But for kids bedroom ideas, go for strong murals with nice prints to hide any imperfect elements of the room.
Living room
When you are wallpapering the living room, bring on your style and go bold, embrace colours which go with the theme of your house. Bold designs of murals and large patterns fosters energy and bring a vibrant feeling to your living space. Living area wallpapers should be selected keeping in mind that it’s an area for the whole family and the guests, therefore the wallpaper should interest most people. For a country or boho theme warm colours and soft print wallcoverings are a good option that brings a sense of relaxation (Natural wallpapers, seagrass wallpapers and velvet wallpapers go well here). If you entertain, experiment with vibrant and exciting colours and prints to liven the party (murals and metallic are a great choice).
Kitchen
Kitchen is a common area for all age groups. From snackers, coffee lovers, hungry tummies and someone who loves cooking, kitchen is used by all. The kitchen should be inviting & appealing to everyone. Choose wallpapers that are eye-catching and bring a lot of energy.
Vibrant and bright colours are good options to boost appetite. Guests usually spend a lot of time in the kitchen, so it’s the perfect place to show the wallpaper. Vinyl wallpapers are a good option. Marble or tile looks are also good options.
For a smaller kitchen choose light colours with small patterns in order to make it look more spacious. Another good option is to add silver gold reflections to Kitchen area. Choose warm shades in cream, yellow or peach for the kitchen with north side windows. For southern side windows use blue, grey and green tones.
Guest Bedrooms
Guest bedrooms are like a blank canvas for you to decorate as per your style. Giving a welcoming and warm feel to your family and friends staying over. There are no rules when it comes to guest bedroom wallcovering but you can create a homely vibe by choosing warm coloured wallpapers complementing the decor of the room. Florals are generally loved by everyone irrespective of age. You can get arty by choosing a nature themed wallpaper with beautiful lush green leaves. Birds like peacock or parrots are also a good choice. Our living forest murals are creative and will definitely impress your guests.
Study room and office
In recent years wallpapers and murals in offices and study rooms have been increasingly in demand. It gives the room a sense of aesthetic. Offices and study rooms should help you concentrate. Also the space should not be boring and gives a lazy vibe. Adding murals with maps, building designs, creative patterns lights up the study or office space. Murals with depth in the design are something that goes well on these walls.
Theater room
Theater room needs to be echo proof and dark coloured thick wallpapers are perfect for such rooms. Go through our theater room range to select a perfect wallpaper to enjoy your theater room experience. It’s loved by a lot of builders and interior designers we deal with. It has the highest value in absorbing sound and thus helps in reducing reflected sound waves.
In a nutshell, murals and wallpapers are a very personal choice which highly depends on your mood and style. Choose the colours which compliment the decor and base colour of your house. Big patterns look better on long huge walls with less windows, where there is a certain viewing distance which enhances the look of the pattern. Smaller pattern artwork is better in medium to small size rooms so that the visual imperfections are not noticeable. Horizontal block stripe pattern makes the space look bigger, good for visual increase in space.
Bright colours are daylight friendly, as they reflect the light to make the room look more brighter and spacious. They are good for small narrow rooms. Dark coloured wallpapers are good for a room full of windows with plenty of direct light. It makes a statement wall and enhances the look of the room (usually living room).
