Combining Wallpaper and Paint in Your Home
How to Use Paint and Wallpaper Together
When it comes to decorating your walls, you have two choices: wallpaper or paint, right? Well, why not both? There’s no law that says you can’t use both wallpaper and paint together when decorating your home. There are some great wallpaper and paint combination ideas out there, and using these two decorating ideas in conjunction can create a really unique look. Here are a few wallpaper and paint combination ideas to consider.
Wallpaper and Paint Ideas for Bedroom
The bedroom is a great place to combine wallpaper and paint. For example, you can paint the walls but make the wall where your headboard is an accent wall with wallpaper to create a unique design that really stands out and accentuates the main piece of furniture in this room.
Wallpaper and Paint Living Room Ideas
If you live in a colonial home with chair rail moldings, one thing you might consider that often creates a beautiful effect is to wallpaper above the chair rail moldings and paint below them. Another interesting possibility is painting the ceiling and wallpapering the walls. This can make both the ceiling and your wallpaper design stand out.
Tips for Using Wallpaper and Paint Combinations
When using wallpaper and paint together, it’s important to keep in mind the properties of each. You don’t want an overly strong paint color that will overpower your wallpaper. You want paint and wallpaper that work together, that complement each other in such a way that feels natural but allows both paper and paint to shine. Nolan Painting can help.
