In addition to paint, wallpaper can be used to brighten a space or give it a personal touch. A fun pattern, a mural or cement paint can help create a special result. But also with patterns and textures you have to realize what the effects can be before you start.
Here are some handy facts about how to use different styles.
Combining matte and glossy surfaces creates a playful result. Remember: matte paint makes colours softer while high-gloss paint makes colours solid.
A loud pattern makes the space appear smaller. Choosing a discrete, even pattern helps to create more balance in the room.
Adapt the size of the pattern or painting to the size of the room. Use big designs in big, open spaces and small designs in small rooms.
When using stripes, remember: vertical stripes make the room appear high and narrow, while horizontal stripes make the room appear wider.
Think of the height when installing panelling in a room. High panelling makes the ceiling appear lower. If that’s not what you want, make sure that the panelling comes out slightly above the couch and chairs. Placing them lower creates a flat result.
