Match Your Wallpaper With Your Flooring Like A Pro!

Arguably the two most important choices when designing a room, your walls and flooring can completely alter a room’s appearance - so it’s important to carefully consider these elements when decorating a space. In this article, we’ll be taking you through many interior design tips and insights, so that you too can match your wallpaper and flooring like a professional.

Choosing Your Coloured Wallpaper

As with all things design related, your colour scheme should be your inspiration. Consider the core colours you’d like to work into your room; are you going for warmer or cooler colours, or do you want to mix the two together?

It’s important that the colours you choose complement each other, as this will prevent any clashes and give the room a professional finish. If you need a helping hand when it comes to colour matching or figuring out whether particular shades are classed as warm or cool colours, it’s worth using a colour wheel.

Consider Your Décor

Unless you’re starting completely from scratch, it’s likely that you will have existing décor in your space, and this might impact on your interior choices. Identify the colours used in your accessories and furniture and consider how these will look when coupled with your wallpaper and flooring. If your décor colour is primarily cool, opting for darker flooring and walls will give the colour an eye-catching contrast. This could work wonders with brighter accent colours like orange or aqua.

A popular concept is to match a décor colour with an accent on your walls. For example, if you had a pink accent colour in your furnishings and accessories, you could match this with the subtle pink tones in a primarily neutral wallpaper. Couple with dark solid wood flooring to create a stylish and professional finish.

Envisage Your Style

Whether your style is vintage or contemporary, you should consider how your aesthetic will tie in with your wallpaper and flooring. Consider which styles are prevalent throughout your home, and colours you already use. Continuity throughout the home creates a ‘professional’ feel, particularly in smaller homes. In larger homes, you can mix styles in different rooms without losing the professional effect. This ensures the floors, walls and décor still match in each style. If you wanted to be bold with your style, a popular interior design trend this year is ‘Brazil’.  So why not combine natural flooring options like bamboo or oak with an exotic wallpaper to create a unique and vibrant space in your home.
