Every room in your house should have its own design style and should speak to how you and your family enjoy your home. Adding colors, textures, and patterns can create an instant style to your home without little effort if you use wallpaper. Wallpaper once was thought of as an alternative to paint, but today its ability to transform a space with bold patterns and the illusion of texture on a flat surface is incredible.

If you are trying to find ways to make your dull room come alive, look at these ideas for adding bold print wallpaper to your interiors —

Determine what style of wallpaper fits your home:

Every home and homeowner has a style and when choosing wallpaper it’s essential to keep both in mind. Bold prints don’t always have to be eye popping, they can be subtle with varying tone-on-tone color, or they can be neutral colors that almost make the bold pattern seem tame and soothing.

If you like eclectic and one-of-a-kind style than larger patterns and stronger colors and contrasting colors would suit your home better.  If you love the idea of bold prints but want to approach patterns more subtly opt for a neutral color palette that still attracts eyes of every visitor that walks through your door.

Choose a pattern that matches your style:

From geometric repetitive shapes to florals or psychedelic inspired swirls, the wallpaper world is full of pattern inspiration. One way many homeowners have chosen to address large print wallpaper is to pair it with wainscoting or a chair rail to stop the wallpaper at a certain height and then continue the rest of the wall with a contrasting color paint, beadboard, or wall paneling. This gives the eye a rest from the bold wall but it also gives a chance to introduce another color to your room.

Also consider using bold wallpaper along kitchen or bathroom walls with large mirrors or cabinets to help break up the large print throughout your interiors.
