Beyond Solid Colours: The Power Of Patterned Wallpaper In Interior Design

9/2/2023

“Do not be afraid of larger patterns, if properly designed they are more restful to the eye than small ones.”

When it comes to interior design, solid coloured walls have long been the go-to option. However, many designers and interior clients are now discovering the power of patterned wallpaper in elevating a space and adding visual interest. In this blog post, we'll explore the benefits of using patterned wallpaper in interior design, tips for incorporating it into a room, and the different types of patterns available.

The Benefits Of Patterned Wallpaper

One of the biggest benefits of using patterned wallpaper is that it adds visual interest and depth to a room. Whether you choose a bold geometric pattern or a subtle textured design (or a mix of both - see our Rokusho and Glyph wallpaper collections for example), patterned wallpaper can help to break up the monotony of solid coloured walls or walls with no personality. Additionally, patterned wallpaper can be used to make a statement or create a focal point in a space. Imagine walking into a beautiful hotel lobby and seeing that its adorned with visually striking unique graphics which are designed to add memorable interest but also be soothing to look at. Whether you want to add a bit of colour, texture, or both, patterned designer wallpaper can help you achieve your desired look.

How To Incorporate Patterned Wallpaper Into An Interior

There are several ways to incorporate patterned wallpaper into an interior space. One popular option is to use it as an accent wall, drawing attention to a specific area of the room. Another way is to create a feature wall with patterned wallpaper, adding a bold design element to the space. If you're feeling bold, you can also combine patterned wallpaper with other design elements such as rugs and furniture. When incorporating patterned wallpaper into a space, it's important to consider the style of the interior and choose a wallpaper that complements it. Most of our wallpapers are designed to be suitable within any type of interior, but obviously some patterns and colours will fit better in some places more than others. We can advise you and give recommendations for what wallpapers of ours will best fit your space if you need help.

Tips For Choosing And Using Patterned Wallpaper

When choosing patterned wallpaper, there are a few key things to consider. First, think about the scale of the pattern in relation to the size of the room. A large pattern can make a small room feel overwhelming, while a small pattern can get lost in a large room. Our wallpapers have been carefully designed with an optimal pattern size to help make it easier using them in a variety of sized spaces. It's also important to consider the colours and texture of the wallpaper in relation to the rest of the room. Be mindful of the amount of natural light in the room and how it will affect the wallpaper. Consider how the wallpaper will look with your existing furniture and interior scheme, and choose a design that complements your existing decor. Finally, be confident in your choice and have fun with it!

"Wallpaper has a tremendous impact. It can instantly create a new look with colour
and texture and can influence the mood with a new pattern.”

In conclusion, patterned wallpaper can add visual interest, depth, and character to any interior design. Whether you're looking to make a bold statement or simply add a touch of pattern and colour, patterned wallpaper is a versatile design element that can help you achieve your desired look. So why not consider incorporating patterned wallpaper into your next interior design project and see what it can do for your space?
