1- Choose the Right Wallpaper:

To make a statement with wallpaper, it's crucial to select a design that aligns with your personal style and complements your existing decor. Consider the mood you want to create in the room: vibrant and energetic, serene and calming, or sophisticated and elegant. Look for patterns, colors, and textures that will evoke the desired ambiance and make a strong visual impact.

 

2- Experiment with Colour and Pattern:

Wallpaper offers an excellent opportunity to experiment with colours and patterns. There are a myriad colours and patterns available in wallpaper these days that can visual interest to your walls. As our most of our designs are Afrocentric in nature they provide an added layer of culture and personality and depth of meaning. We like to call them 'Patterns with a Purpose'

 

3-Striking Accent Walls:

If you prefer a more subtle approach, consider using wallpaper to create striking accent walls throughout your home. We understand that not everyone like 'in your face' colours and patterns like us. In this case you can choose a unique design that complements the existing color scheme and decor. This approach allows you to introduce statement wallpaper in multiple rooms while maintaining a cohesive overall style. It also provides an opportunity to add variety and visual intrigue to different areas of your home.

 

4- Create a Focal Point:

An incredibly effective way to make a statement with wallpaper is to create a focal point in your room. Identify a single wall, such as the one behind a bed, a fireplace, or a dining table, and jazz it up with a captivating wallpaper pattern. This will draw attention and add instant impact to the space. Just remember to opt for a bold design that stands out without overwhelming the entire room, as apparently less is more.

6- Coordinate with Other Elements:

To make a statement with wallpaper, ensure that it harmonizes with the other elements in the room. Consider coordinating the color palette or pattern of the wallpaper with soft furnishing like cushions and curtains, or accessories. We have made this easy with our matching collections including iron-on transfer, mug and coasters. This will create a cohesive look that ties the room together, amplifying the impact of the wallpaper while maintaining a balanced and visually appealing space.

 

7- Pay Attention to Lighting:

Lighting plays a crucial role in highlighting the beauty of wallpaper. Experiment with different lighting techniques to enhance the statement-making effect. For example, using spotlights or accent lighting can create dramatic shadows and emphasize the texture and patterns of the wallpaper. Additionally, natural light can bring out the nuances in the design, making it even more captivating.

 

Conclusion:

Wallpaper is a fantastic tool for making a statement that reflects your personality in your home. With careful consideration of colours, patterns, and complementary elements, you can transform any space into your very own visual masterpiece. So, embrace the superpower of wallpaper to turn your house into a stunning reflection of your incredible and unique taste.
