How to start what do I need ?

Evaluate your space .

There is an infinite variety of wallpaper .

I know it can be confusing to choose the right one for your room .

Something essential is that you like the design of the wallpaper .

Well , I would say that you should love it because it will be the focal point of the room and you will see its design every day .

If it doesn't have a motif or colors you love , you might get tired of it easily .

However , apart from choosing a wallpaper that you like , you should consider the conditions of the room .

Mainly it hide size and natural light .

Yes .

As in all interior design , you need to evaluate your room first .

If the room you plan to decorate is small , you should opt for designs with light to that are not too saturated with images or complex patterns for tiny spaces , it's not advisable to place the wallpaper on all the walls .

For the best result , place your wallpaper with the greatest visual attention is focused .

Something important to consider is the scale and proportion between the wallpaper and the space .

In a small spaces .

The pattern must be small to create an illusion that the wall is receding .

There is no specific rule .

It's a matter of perception , just use your criteria taking into account how the pattern will relate to your space .

On the other hand , in large spaces , you can use wallpaper with a more daring design with patterns on a larger scale and you can even use it on several walls .

However , remember that the eye needs some solid color surfaces to rest .

Wallpaper is useful to emphasize a wall before choosing that wall , make sure it is an important one for the room .

Pick a visible wall that draws your attention from different points or serve as a backdrop to important areas or furniture such as the TV unit , the back wall of your dining room or behind the headboard .
