Tips for Choosing Wallpaper

You can decorate your home with different styles of wallpapers for different visual effect or you can also stick with your favorite style. Here are some basic visual effect of some commonly used wallpaper styles.

Large patterns offer the most visual effect to a room. A room decorated by large patterns seems smaller and people in it feel more intimate. Such wallpapers are ideal for bedroom.
Large patterns on all the walls with plain, light ceilings help retain a feeling of height when design elements have a vertical thrust.
Diagonal stripes often give direction and offer feeling of movement.
Patterns with strong vertical lines make a ceiling look higher. On the contrary, horizontal stripes make a room seem wider.
Wallpapers with plants and flowers make the room look like open space and people feel relaxed in the room.
Wallpaper with graphics of fruits, vegetable and cooking utensils are perfect choice for decorating kitchen. Beware that blue is appetite-suppressing color so it is not a good option for kitchen decoration.
The best choice of wallpaper for study decoration is one with orange background since the best color for concentration and productivity is orange. If printed with encouraging motto, it will be better.
