Art deco panels
The uninitiated, wallpaper can be intimidating. Where do you start? What are the options and how do you install it? Why choose it over paint? But for space-defining, forwardthinking interiors, there's nothing better than a patterned wall to distract, relax or intensify your senses.
Interior designer Bridget Foley from Bridget Foley Design says wallpaper is one of the easiest, quickest ways to transform a space. "A whole house of paint can get rather dull. Adding wallpapers to a few rooms adds an element of surprise and interest," she says. Florals help to soften, stripes widen a room and a whimsical mural can enliven our homes.
OFF THE WALL
Don't let the name mislead you. In the past, wallpaper was also used to line cupboards and other small spaces. Take a few pointers from history; if you've got a leftover roll from your wallpaper hanging project, consider adding some flair to your furnishings. Attack drawers inside and out - decorate panels, shelves or whatever else strikes your fancy. If you're unsure about a pattern or colour, there's no better way to test-run it in your space than through a good old-fashioned arts and crafts day.
BUSY LIFE.
BUSY WALLS
White painted walls will show smears, stains, cracks and chips whereas wallpaper might seem more forgiving and the perfect alternative for busy family life. But any style-savvy decorator should consider practicality alongside fashion before taking the plunge.
