5 Ways Wallpaper Can Fix Design Quirks

Wallpaper has been around for centuries and for good reason. Though often thought of as purely decorative, it actually has several practical functions. Wallpaper can hide small wall irregularities or defects, enhance or disguise architectural elements and create separate zones or moods within a room. Here are ways to use this pragmatic and beautiful material, as well as examples of creative wall coverings you may not have considered.

1.Enlarge a Small Room

Bathroom wallpaper can make the smallest rooms in our homes look great and considerably more spacious.The verticality of the wallpaper design helps make the ceiling look taller, visually increasing the room size and adding depth.

2.Hide a Bumpy Wall

Glass fiber wall covering is actually a textile made of glass fibers, with different textures and weaves. It is much stronger than typical wallpaper and can work quite well to disguise wall defects.

It comes unpainted but can generally be painted up to 10 times, meaning longevity and flexibility. Some versions can withstand the moisture of wet areas, such as a bathroom or kitchen backsplash, as long as they’re painted with suitable paint. In kitchens, it’s advised to use a hard backsplash behind the stove and the glass fiber wall covering next to it.

3.Create a Separate Zone

Wallpaper is an easy way to visually separate a room into different functional areas.It sometimes defines a small work zone in a bedroom.

4.Dress Up an Outdoor Space

We often think of using wallpaper indoors, but it can also work in outdoor spaces. These days, more companies are coming up with techniques to create wallcoverings that are resistant to rain, yellowing and smog. Consider using them on your porch or facade for a different look.

5.Make a Personal Statement

Custom wallpaper printing is a great way to achieve a personalized look, and many companies offer temporary stick-on options. If you want to move your personalized wallpaper, you can just peel it off and stick it up somewhere else. You can try out different patterns for different rooms, or draw on your own designs.

5 Tricks to Make Your Living Room Look More Expensive

Our living rooms are the places we retreat to at the end of the day, where we tend to entertain and often where we feel most ourselves – so naturally we want them to look as good as possible. If your budget is on the small side don’t settle for cheap or boring, take inspiration from these ideas to achieve a more extravagant result

1. Arrange your room around a great rug
A stylish geometric rug doesn’t have to cost a fortune, but it can be the piece that pulls your room together and makes your interiors scheme feel finished. Arrange key furniture pieces around it for maximum impact, as they’ve done here with the sofa, pouffe and coffee table. Don’t forget to add a line of plumped up cushions, which is an easy trick that never fails to make living rooms seem more expensive and chic.

When choosing a rug, think about the dimensions of your room. If the floor covering is too small, it will look like it’s floating in space; too big, and it may not work if you want it to sit along the lines of your sofa or still show off your wooden floor.

2. Build a gallery corner
Artworks don’t have to cost much, but arranging prints and paintings into groups can help give a living room an upmarket gallery vibe. Two adjacent walls of artworks here create an artistic corner that detracts from the simple furnishings.

Pick up frames cheaply at chain stores, boot fairs or charity shops. Build up a collection of postcards and pictures you love that you can frame. And try combining clusters of smaller works with one or two larger oil paintings or watercolours for a burst of uplifting colour.

3. Delight in different textures
Combine a variety of materials for a subtle, more sophisticated effect, especially if you are following a neutral palette. Leather, metal, wool, tweed, velvet, woven cotton rugs and sheepskin throws are all good. And don’t forget to style up your coffee table – it doesn’t need to be fancy, a couple of nice earthenware vases with garden cuttings or potted plants can make all the difference.

4. Inject some colour
Adding some bright colours is perhaps the easiest way to make a neutral living room scheme feel less bland, more designed and thus more expensive. This bright green sofa really brings this room to life, but if you don’t want to splash out or already have a perfectly good sofa, you can still add colour in smaller ways for similar impact – lamps, cushions, vases, blinds and rugs are all ways to add a touch of colour.

5. Introduce some velvet
Velvet never really goes out of fashion, and has a luxurious sheen that makes a room feel more high end and special. If you can’t afford a sofa or armchair (the ultimate in luscious velvet style), then go for a pile of tactile velvet cushions. These can be picked up cheaply in many high street chains and will add a dose of shimmery charm to any room. Choose a variety of jewel-like shades to perk up a plain sofa.

5 Steps: How to Arrange Your Living Room Furniture

Our living rooms come in many shapes and sizes, and we all yearn for a welcoming, social space where we can unwind alone or gather with friends and family. Creating that sense of warmth and welcome, however, can sometimes elude us. The living room can even be the ‘problem’ room: The one that’s rarely used for reasons on which nobody can quite put their finger…

Furniture position plays an important part in the feel of a living room, so check out these ways to get the right arrangement for you.

1. Use existing elements as a guide

Think in terms of placing, rather than putting, the furniture in the room. This means taking time to think about where exactly each piece should go and how it relates to the other elements in the space.

Using existing features, such as a fireplace or window, as organising tools or starting points will create a sense of order and calm. At a window, for instance, two chairs will block the light less than a sofa. A large rug and sofa placed symmetrically in front of a fireplace, meanwhile, will create a strong and inviting focal point.

2. Create conversation

Place the furniture in such a way that the pieces appear to ‘talk’ to one another, as seen in this arrangement of chairs and sofa, which point towards each other. In this way, they will invite you to join in the conversation.

3. Find a room’s ‘centre of gravity’

Think of the centre of gravity in a room as the place where the largest item of furniture wants to be. In the case of a living room, this piece will usually be the main sofa. Frequently, this will be happiest opposite or adjacent to a fireplace or stove, if there is one, or perhaps the window if not.

4. Employ a coffee table as an anchor

A low table placed in the middle of a seating space will both define the conversation area and provide a useful surface for books and nibbles. In terms of size, err on the larger side; just like a small rug, a small table will be lost and contribute nothing to the arrangement.

5. Place art strategically

Art can give scale and intimacy to a space, and can provide a striking focal point in a room that would otherwise lack one. If you’re struggling with how to place your furniture, try hanging a striking piece of art on the wall and using it as a guide for your furniture.
