Choosing the correct wall covering can dramatically alter the look and feel of a room. You can make it look bigger, warmer, brighter or hide imperfections. Blue wallpaper designs are certainly on-trend this season. So here we look at five ways to add blue wallpaper to your home and significantly improve the look of any room.
Colour can set the mood – colour is an important part of any room, setting the tone for the activities and your feelings once inside it. Blue wallpaper can be used to make a space appear larger and the ceiling higher. It is a colour that suggests tranquillity, freshness and a calming nature. Our top pick for making a room look bigger is the Cotton Tweed Wallpaper in Duck Egg from Crown.
Play with light – in a dark, north facing room you need to look for wallcoverings that will reflect the light around the room. Choose wallpapers with metallic highlights, iridescent inks, mica backgrounds or glitter accents to bounce light around a room. Our top pick for lightening up any room with blue this season is the Brilliance Stripe Duck Egg Glitter Wallpaper from Arthouse.
Choose a suitable style – choosing the scale of a wallpaper design is very important. Small motifs or regularly spaced small print blue wallpaper can add fun to a space as well as giving it a wide, open look. In contrast, wallpaper with a large scale design can add drama to a room and give it character. Our blue wallpaper recommendation for this season to add colour and drama to your home is the Camelia Wallpaper in Smalt from Little Greene.
Add texture – patterned wallpaper with a textured finish, or printed wallpaper giving the illusion of texture can help to disguise imperfections on your walls. It can also alter the overall atmosphere of the room. To add texture a room this season we recommend the Knotted Rope Blue Wallpaper from Direct Wallpapers.
Scale for drama – small scale patterned wallpaper can create a spacious look whilst large scale designs can make a room feel more intimate. To add drama and intimacy into your home this season, we suggest using a bold wallpaper design like the Vymura Tiger Glitter Wallpaper in Midnight Blue.
