There are so many different aspects to decorating a room, but it always needs to start with the walls and floors. Choosing what to do with the walls will lay a foundation for the rest of the room. Your choices from then on will need to take what you've decided to do with the walls into account. You have an enormous range of options for what to do. It's not as simple as deciding whether or not you want to paint the room a new color. You can use different shades, decorate the whole room or only part of it, or hang wallpaper.
Here's how you can get your walls perfect. Wallpaper or Paint?One of the first decisions you'll need to make is whether to use wallpaper or paint. There are advantages and disadvantages to each one. If you use wallpaper, you can have lots of detail and intricate patterns. However, it can be time-consuming to hang, and it can be hard to get it right. Paint comes in thousands of different shades, and there's no need to stick to just one. You can use stencils, add things like glitter and try lots of different effects. However, you can't get the same texture as with wallpaper, and intricate work will take a long time. Leaving the Walls BlankWhen you're planning your room, you might decide not to touch one or more of the walls. Or at the most, you might want to give them a fresh coat of white or cream paint. There can be lots of advantages to keeping your walls neutral. It gives you space to use color elsewhere in the room, and you won't overwhelm a small space. Many people decorate one or two walls and leave the others blank. But if you want to keep some walls white, you have to be sure to fill in the space with furniture and accessories. Minimalism can work, but there is such a thing as too minimal.
Getting the Perfect Paint JobIf you've decided you're going to paint your room, there's more to getting it right than you might think. Painting a room well takes more than slapping on a couple of coats of whichever color you've chosen. If you want it done as well as it could be, you could consider hiring an artisan painter & decorator. They'll go above and beyond to make sure your home turns out just how you want it. If you want the job done properly, it's nearly always a good idea to get a professional to do it. Making Wallpaper StylishUsing wallpaper in your home can have a fantastic effect. However, it can also be overwhelming if you use it too much. A whole room covered with patterned wallpaper can overpower everything. If you want your use of wallpaper to be stylish, you have to use it carefully. For example, you might choose a subtle pattern or only wallpaper one wall. Focusing on a room's walls will help you set the scene for your interior theme. Make sure you get them right for a perfect finish.
