Choosing wallpaper can feel overwhelming — there are so many colors, patterns, and textures to choose from. But with a few simple tips, you can find the perfect match for your room and create a space you’ll love for years to come.
Here’s how to get it right the first time.
⸻
1. Consider the Size of Your Space
Pattern scale matters.
- Small Rooms: Opt for light colors and small to medium patterns to make the room feel open.
- Large Rooms: Try bold prints or dark colors — they can make a large space feel cozy and dramatic.
- Tall Ceilings: Vertical stripes draw the eye upward, making ceilings look even higher.

2. Look at Your Lighting
Lighting can completely change how a wallpaper looks.
- Natural Light: Almost any color works, but warm tones feel even sunnier.
- Low-Light Rooms: Avoid overly dark shades unless you want a moody vibe.
- Artificial Light: Check your wallpaper sample under the actual lighting you’ll use — it may look cooler or warmer.

3. Match Your Existing Décor
Take into account your flooring, furniture, and textiles. Wallpaper should complement your style, not fight it.
- Neutral Décor: Go bold with pattern or color — your wallpaper becomes the star.
- Colorful Décor: Choose a wallpaper that ties the palette together or stays subtle.
- Mixed Styles: Use wallpaper as a bridge — e.g., modern pattern with vintage furniture.

4. Think About Mood
Color psychology plays a big role in how a room feels:
- Blue: Calm, serene — great for bedrooms and bathrooms
- Green: Balanced, refreshing — perfect for living rooms
- Yellow: Warm, energizing — ideal for kitchens
- Black/Dark Tones: Cozy, dramatic — great for dining rooms or libraries
- Pink/Blush: Soft, romantic — lovely for bedrooms and nurseries

5. Don’t Forget Practicality
Some rooms need more durable or moisture-resistant wallpaper:
- Bathrooms & Kitchens: Choose splash-proof, easy-to-clean options
- High-Traffic Areas: Opt for thicker, durable materials that can handle bumps and scrapes
- Rental Spaces: Peel & stick wallpaper is ideal for temporary use — damage-free removal
