How to Decorate With Wallpaper

Wallpaper is the ideal choice if you want to give your home a cosy cottage makeover. Use them to decorate the walls of your bedroom in a tiny, quaint print, warm yellow or floral pattern or opt to wallpaper a single accent wall at the head of the bed or just wallpaper the bathroom walls, the choice is yours!

While wallpaper effortlessly evokes a sense of charming country living, it can also create a wonderful, stylish contemporary space. Using plain, neutrals, lightly embossed, grass wallpaper and others, you can design a very modern interior and don’t forget a splash of bold colour applied to a single wall. Of course, it’s still the perfect choice for a period, vintage or Victorian theme.

Not sure which wallpaper to use? Take a look at these amazing wallpaper designs that can be used in your lounge, bedroom or even to create warmth in an office space. To create the illusion of space in a small room, use a neutral colour like white, ecru or beige and arrange furniture with plenty of spaces between pieces. Keep window treatments light and airy to add to the spacious mood.

Don’t Own Your Space?

If you don’t own your home, there are still plenty of ways you can make a rented home feel like you own it. If you’re not sure whether you’ll be buying or renting your home, start collecting design ideas and wallpaper samples so that when you’re ready to decorate you have everything at your fingertips.

Solvite wallpaper paste has been trusted by professional painters and decorators since 1964 so it’s pretty much guaranteed to keep your new wallpaper in place and last many years, helping you to create the home of your dreams. Easy to hang, repair and remove if replacing in necessary, Solvite is the number one product for reliable quality and durability. Solvite Paste the Wall can be applied to the wall, not the paper, making it really easy to use and a lot less messy than other products.
