Since the inception, wallpapers have largely been used for decorating the walls. Giving a freedom of choice to select a colour and design that you prefer, wallpapers have become an economical substitute for getting the walls painted.
However, these sheets are very versatile and can be used in multiple ways to decorate the house.
Besides the most basic use of hanging it on the wall, wallpaper can be used in a lot of different ways.
• With a creative use of wallpapers, you can create a wonderful display area in your living room. You can put glossy or metallic wallpaper in the background of the shelf or the display area and then put decorative articles in bright metallic shades on the front side.
• If you have that old Victorian fireplace in your house, you can do up that space with the use of wall paper. You can cover the wall above the fire place or the chimney with wallpaper that matches the fireplace in colour and look.
• To create that wow look in the room, you don’t even need to cover an entire wall with wallpaper. Just get creative and cut a few squares of the wallpapers in different patterns and get them framed using the same frame. You can create a collage of these framed decorative articles and deck up the wall beautifully and much differently from all others.
• Fashion your old weary table with a new look with the use of wallpaper. Get a piece of wallpaper in a shade that matches the colour of the table and cover the top with wallpaper. To protect the wallpaper from wear and tear, you can also put a transparent glass sheet on the top which will flaunt the beauty but protect the wallpaper at the same time. This also enables you to change the look every time you want to with a new one.
• Get tricky with creative use of wallpaper. You can also hide the flaws in the walls or corners by using wallpapers. You can use stripes of different wallpaper creating a pattern which makes for a good disguise for your walls.
• You can even beautify your bathrooms by skilfully using the wallpapers. You can pick a bold pattern to get the desired attention stealing look. Just match the colour of the toiletries and put the wallpaper on the wall that houses the wash basin to ensure maximum protection.
• Enhance the look of your ceiling by using wallpapers in yet another creative fashion. Get floral or geometrical patterned wallpaper that goes well with the colours of the wall and put this on the ceiling. However, make sure you hire a professional to ensure that this is a job well done.
Using wallpapers in a creative way can bring a lot of change in the way your home. Just use these wallpapers in colours that match the decor and furnishings in your house.
