Spread the love

The walls is one of the most noticeable areas in a room, hence it is very important to choose the right type of wall treatment, which would be not only aesthetically pleasant, but durable and lasting. Consider these simple tips, when choosing a wall covering for your room:

  • Choose washable surfaces for kitchen and bathroom, that withstand condensation and can be easily cleaned.

  •  Wall treatments in kids rooms should be able to resist to a rough treatment.

  • For corridors, stairs and halls choose wall treatments that can be easily refreshed since in these areas walls are often scuffed.

  • For bedrooms and living rooms pick more delicate wall coverings.

  • Avoid patterned wallpaper and tiles in the properties where walls are not perfectly “true”: patterns will highlight those imperfections.
  • For small wall areas and those that are cut by several doors and windows, select pale colors and discreet textures and patterns.
  • Bold colors and patterns look best on large surfaces:

  • Alternatively bold patterns and colours can also be used in very small rooms, such as guest bathrooms, since they will distract attention from the tiny size of the space:

  • Avoid small patterns on the large wall surfaces, since they will tend to disappear and become indistinct. I recommend such wall coverings for small wall surfaces:

  •  Large geometric patterns may look eye-boggling, make sure you test large samples in the actual interiors before purchasing.

  • Check the overall effect of pattern – the best solution will be to put several width side-by-side and see how it looks on a large surface.
  • Don’t pick wall paint relying on paint chips. You can purchase a tester pot and try it on a piece of lining paper.
  • Check wallpaper or paint sample against each wall and during different time of the day – as direction and level of light can play amazing tricks.
  • Plaster can be used as a surface in its own right, as it can be polished to achieve elegant and beautiful finish.
