Beadboard and stucco finishes are great options, as are organic or flowing floral designs. This will create a homey, relaxed vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contemporary d\u00e9cor calls for boldness: geometric patterns with glossy or metallic accents. Larger floral designs are also a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trepryor.com\/blog\/home-design-trends-2017\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">trending statement this year<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, if you\u2019re going for traditional d\u00e9cor, choose intricate damasks and stripes. They will coordinate perfectly with that type of theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How are you going to place the wallpaper in the room?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t necessarily need to cover all the walls in the room and call it a day. There are many ways in which you can use wallpaper to enhance your d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Covering all four walls of a room is a classic idea, however. To freshen it up, you could opt for a simple stripe design hung horizontally on all four walls for a contemporary look. For a <em>trendy<\/em> twist, consider large-scale designs or industrial textures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For accent walls, choose a dramatic, bold pattern to draw attention to an area of the room, such as behind a sofa or bed. Go for designs with a hint of metallic gloss finish to give your room a glamorous touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enhance your ceiling! You can get the elegant look of Victorian tin ceilings with textured wallpaper or even paintable squares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, there\u2019s more to wallpaper than style and placement. Here are a few more questions to consider when choosing the perfect wallpaper for your room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re wallpapering your room for the first time, avoid choosing very small patterns with offset matches \u2013 the designs can be challenging to match up and repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flat wallpaper vs. textured wallpaper: Which is best?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Textured wallpapers are a great choice and can go a long way in helping you develop a personal style with your d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Textured wallpapers&nbsp;add a bit of dimension to your walls. They also do a great job of covering up imperfections. Paintable wallpapers can give you a monochromatic look that will work well with certain d\u00e9cor themes. Generally speaking, textured wallpapers have less intricate designs than painted ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flat wallpapers offer more intricate design options and can feature finishes like metallic, mica, or gloss. Textured wallpapers give a more casual feel to the room, whereas painted wallpapers can give off a more refined or elegant style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter what d\u00e9cor theme you\u2019re going for, you can find the right wallpaper to go with it. Experiment with different designs and have fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It may have fallen out of fashion once upon a time, but wallpaper is coming back as a hot d\u00e9cor trend for homeowners.
