Living room wallpaper: secrets and mistakes to avoid
Wallpaper is well known, it really creates a timeless charm in any living environment. It rejuvenates environments devoid of personality, revives colors, confirms new light and gives character to spaces. Whether it's a small or large living room, wallpaper is able to renew and decorate the walls in a refined way.
What are the criteria for choosing the right wallpaper for the living room?
Here are summarized the important points to consider before starting the purchase of the paper of your dreams.
4 practical tips
1. The place where you want to insert it (we will see all the possibilities you have to insert the card in your living room)
2. The colors of your home (they will be light, dark or floral, abstract or geometric patterns)
3. The space available (from the size available on the walls and the space you have you can evaluate whether to choose a simple pattern or a more complete design such as a landscape or particular decorations)
4.You can combine a wall with wallpaper and paint or for an even more elegant effect with the colored wood paneling (I'll show you several options)
Precious secrets
Light colors create a brighter environment, recommended for small rooms.
Special patterns such as jungle-style papers, extra large flowers or abstract patterns should only be placed on one wall (or portion of it), not on all walls in the house.
What types of wallpaper will make the living room appear more spacious? The vertical lines make the ceiling seem higher, while the horizontal lines or patterns widen the environment.

1. Choose a paper that is too trendy, which could get boring
2. Choose a low quality paper to save some money (it could be ruined sooner or not adhere well to the walls)
3. Relying on an inexperienced installer could ruin the effect of the paper with an unprofessional application (you could see bubbles or joints)
4. Do not evaluate the colors and style of the house (it could create confusion in the environment)
