The easiest way to make an impression in this previously dingy. Green is a color that can evoke powerful emotions. It is a dominant color in nature that makes you think of growth.

2. Invest In Textural Wall Treatments As An Alternative

I’m always looking for ideas on how to make walls interesting when my clients don’t have great art,' says designer Maria Speake. It’s about creating lovely textured walls that bring calmness within the home. Tiles, timber, leather, and suede, for example – they add a kind of atmosphere. What is really lovely is when you don’t need so many layers of decoration because the walls are providing it. ''Suede and leather have become new favorites. We’ve used hides to make up panels, in hallways for example. Anyone could do it themselves. And because they are slightly soft and a bit padded they are brilliant acoustically.'

5. Use The Same Design In 

Two Different Colors

'Use contrasting colors in the same print for added design detail and maximum wallpaper magic,’ says Jamie Watkins, co-founder at Divine Savages. ‘Here, always Sunday founder Lexi Dart has expertly combined our Crane Fonda wallpapers in Soft Copper and Black Gold for an extra divine and savage twist in her bathroom. 

‘We love this design trick. It’s at once playful and at the same time sophisticated – a different take on a classic monochrome scheme and rather than using a standard black and white wallpaper, this has a decadent edge to it. Also note the perfect pattern matching on the two halves… it’s these small design details that count.’

6. Match Your Woodwork Color

 To Your Wallpaper 

'If your chosen wallpaper is “busy”, you can break it up and make it more cohesive by choosing to paint your woodwork in a color that's within the wallpaper design. Here, this pretty green shade really sets off the overall feel and the plain aspect creates balance

Are Wallpapers Still In Style For 2023?

'The pandemic really turned our attention to our home décor, and there was a real surge in adventurous decorating,' says Homes & Gardens' Editor in Chief Lucy Searle. 'We tired of all-plain, painted schemes and instead looked to pattern to individualize our rooms and to make them feel cozier. Wallpaper creates a visual trick, making walls advance, which in turn makes rooms feel more intimate. There is no sign of wallpaper's popularity waning.'

Should I Wallpaper Every Wall?

Where once feature walls were very much in fashion, now wallpapering every wall is more on trend. If you know how to wallpaper, you will know that you can use it on all four walls to very quickly transform a plain space.
