IDENTIFY YOUR SPACE
Which room would you like to wallpaper? Consider the size and function of the space, as well as the desired mood you are looking to conjure. For example, while bold, psychedelic designs work well in the living room, prints that are a little more serene - think nature-inspired motifs in tranquil color palettes - are best for the bedroom and bathroom.

LET THERE BE LIGHT
It’s important to consider the light levels and orientation of your chosen room, as this will help determine your captivating color palette. Top tip: Avoid introducing too many cooler hues into a north-facing room, opt for warmer tones to soften the light and elevate the ambience.

TURN BACK TIME
When coating a traditional home’s walls with wonder we encourage you to be inspired by its unique attributes. Immerse yourself in the rich past of your own personal sanctuary by referencing it in your chosen print. For example, our iconic William Morris inspired ‘ARTEMIS’ would bloom to new heights in an Arts & Crafts home.

HARMONIZE COLOR HUES
If layering a number of prints throughout your scheme, remember it’s all about balance. Stick to a cohesive color palette, introducing shades of paint that complement your chosen wallpaper design to ensure perfect harmony.

PULL IT TOGETHER
If your scheme is feeling a little fragmented, choose a print that will help pull it all together. Go wild and use an animal print as a neutral. Top tip: Integrate WILDCARD into your print palette; the ‘Butterscotch’ shade will work with almost any color. The organic repeat in the print’s pattern will also complement everything from geometric stripes to painterly florals.

LAYER FANTASTICAL FLAIR
Though you’re at the start of your wallpaper journey, it’s important to consider those finishing touches. Master the art of layering. Style your wallpaper with paintings and photographs that project your personality, don’t be afraid to hang those statement pieces that really anchor the room.
