FAQs
How do I choose the right patterned wallpaper for my space?
Consider the size and purpose of the room. For smaller spaces, opt for lighter, more subtle patterns to create an open feel. For larger rooms, you can go bold with large pattern wallpaper to create a dramatic effect.

Yes, patterned wallpaper can be used in any room. Choose moisture-resistant options for kitchens and bathrooms, and softer, fabric-like textures for bedrooms and living areas.
How do I create a feature wall with bold pattern wallpaper?
To create a feature wall, choose a wall that draws attention, such as the one behind a sofa or bed. Use bold pattern wallpaper on this wall while keeping the surrounding walls neutral to highlight the design.
What’s the difference between large pattern wallpaper and small pattern wallpaper?
Large pattern wallpaper features bigger, more spread-out designs, which can make a room feel more spacious. Small pattern wallpaper has intricate, detailed designs that add texture and interest to smaller areas.
Can I use patterned wallpaper with other decor elements?
Yes, patterned wallpaper pairs well with solid-colour furnishings and accents. Balance bold patterns with simple, minimalist decor to avoid overwhelming the space.
Is patterned wallpaper suitable for high-traffic areas?
For high-traffic areas like hallways and kitchens, choose durable patterned wallpaper made from vinyl or other tough materials that are easy to clean and maintain.

Floral and geometric patterns are popular choices for living rooms. They add a touch of elegance and interest without overpowering the space. Bold pattern wallpaper can also make a striking statement.
How do I apply patterned wallpaper to ensure a seamless look?
Carefully measure and cut the wallpaper, matching the pattern at the seams. Apply adhesive to the wall, then position the wallpaper, smoothing out any air bubbles. Use a sharp blade to trim excess wallpaper at the edges.
What is the best way to clean patterned wallpaper?
Use a soft, damp cloth for regular cleaning. For stubborn stains on vinyl wallpaper, use a mild soap solution. Always test a small area first to ensure the cleaning method won’t damage the wallpaper.
