Which Colors to Choose | Wallpaper for Living Room

Once you understand your space and have an idea of what you need according to the qualities of your room. We will move to another important part, choosing the colors and motif of your wallpaper.

In Interior design, you always have to think of everything. Think of the concept and stick to it for instance.

If we design a room with a minimalist style another deco motif is probably not the best option unless it respects the color palette, if you are looking to mix styles we could consider it. Still, if neither the style nor the colors go with the aesthetic of your room as much as you like the wallpaper. It would be best to see another option that adheres to your decoration plan. You should select wallpaper with colors that complement your decor and the existing color palette in your home. It does not necessarily have to be identical color. You can use a shade within the same color family analogous or complementary colors.

The important thing is to make sure that the colors of the wallpaper coexist with the existing decoration and are combined correctly. Using the color wheel and color theory is very effective. So, combine your colors in the right way.

Apart from the color palette, it is important to think about the pattern and motif of the wallpaper to choose one that complements your type of furniture and other textures. Patterns define and emphasize styles. So, use them to make your style and personality stand out even more. For example, if your style is Art deco or Glam a geometric pattern will highlight its aesthetics, and if your interior has a tropical vibe with wood and natural fibers a floral or leaf motifs can work well. So, think about the styles that identify your space and select a wallpaper that highlights its aesthetics.
