Choosing the perfect wallpaper can feel overwhelming with so many styles, patterns, and textures available. But with a little guidance, you can pick wallpaper that not only beautifies your walls but also complements the function and mood of each room. At Fabwalls, we’ve created this handy guide to help you select the right wallpaper for every space in your home.

Consider the Room’s Purpose

  • Living Room: This is often the heart of your home. Opt for elegant patterns or textured wallpapers that invite comfort and style. Subtle florals, botanicals, or minimalist designs work well here.

  • Bedroom: Choose calming, soothing patterns like soft florals, nature-inspired prints, or gentle abstracts to create a restful retreat.

  • Kitchen and Dining: Durable, washable wallpapers with bold prints or geometric designs can add energy and withstand spills and stains.

  • Kids’ Rooms: Fun, playful patterns with bright colors or educational themes encourage creativity and joy.

  • Bathrooms: Moisture-resistant wallpapers in light colors or subtle textures help maintain a fresh and clean look.

Match Patterns and Colors to Lighting

  • Bright Rooms: Feel free to go bold with dark or vibrant wallpapers since natural light balances the intensity.

  • Dim Rooms: Choose lighter colors and reflective textures like metallic accents to brighten the space.

Think About Furniture and Decor

Your wallpaper should complement your existing furniture and decor style. For example:

  • Traditional or vintage furniture pairs beautifully with classic floral or damask patterns.

  • Modern furniture is best matched with minimalist lines, geometric shapes, or abstract designs.

  • Natural wood furniture harmonizes with nature-inspired prints or textured wallpapers.

Texture Matters

Wallpaper texture can add subtle luxury and depth. Consider grasscloth, embossed finishes, or fabric wallpapers for an elevated feel in living rooms or bedrooms. Smooth vinyl or peel-and-stick options work great in kitchens or high-traffic areas.
