Wallpaper making a comeback..

Wallpaper is a controversial topic for most home owners. Luckily, wallpaper has come along way since your grandma’s kitchen. In the past after scoring and tearing away the vinyl layer of paper, you were left with the glue residue all over your walls. Then finally resorting to using product after product with elbow grease in attempt to scrap away what is left. Well put down that scrapper and get ready because now most wallpaper comes pre-pasted, making them very easy to remove.

 Now that that is taken care of here comes the hardest part, choosing a wallpaper that suites your style. Stripes, damask, retro, bold prints, velvet, textured, paintable etc… the choices are endless.   

 After picking the right wallpaper, you now have to choose a colour that compliments your beautiful paper. The most common mistake is that people match the back ground colour of the paper; however, what most people don’t realize is that unless you get the colour perfect it will look like you tried to match and failed. To avoid this you should pick a colour with similar undertones which is either a shade dark or lighter. This will create a colour harmony throughout the space.

 Happy wallpapering!
