Tips For Choosing Wallpapers For Your Home In Vienna

Wallpapers have been used as alternatives to tapestries and to decorate the walls of the homes centuries ago by the affluent homeowners. Nowadays, the wallpapers are used as a luxury decorating tool. Wallpapers are specially designed according to the nature and purpose of each room in the house while keeping in mind the taste of the residents. If you are looking for an ideal wallpaper for your home in Vienna, here are some tips on techniques, products, and trends relating to wallpapers.

Room Choice

dining room
The dining room is nicely framed between the kitchen and the larger balcony.
Wallpapers spice up the look of the room. But, the use of too much wallpaper can have a dizzying effect. Wallpapers generally look best in powder rooms, entryways, master bedrooms, and dining rooms. According to Realtor Magazine, "The room where wallpaper seems least desirable is the kitchen, particularly when it’s filled with attractive cabinetry, appliances, and tile. It’s also used less in bathrooms due to potential damage from steam and water, though certain vinyl and commercial papers may hold up".

Placement

Though the wallpapers are often applied to all the four walls of a room, the recent trend is to use them on a single accent wall. They can be used atop a ceiling, behind a bed, or around a fireplace. As per Realtor Magazine, "Many removable peel-and-stick wallpapers are now available in more patterns and colors and often at a lower price than traditional papers. They can work well for those who are DIY enthusiasts but don’t plan on staying in their homes or apartments over the long term".

Color

Though the color of the wallpapers depends upon the taste of the residents, a rainbow of saturated hues is getting more preference recently as compared to pale neutrals. According to Realtor Magazine, "Though they may be losing favorite now, neutrals still have their place, especially when patterns are small or paired with a texture. And when the exact desired color can’t be found, many manufacturers will make custom color papers".

Sustainability

There are new environment-friendly wallpapers in the market that enhance indoor air quality. McClain, an interior designer, said to Realtor Magazine, "I think we will see more of these, though it’s still a very niche market.”
