The trend for covering one wall means you can be more adventurous in your choice of wallpaper as it’s not as daunting as papering a whole room. It also enables you to make a feature of a wall or enhance a focal point, such as a sideboard or painting.
Instead of giving that old side-table the car boot treatment, give it a new lease of life by covering the top with some brightly coloured fabric wallcovering. Could be perfect for a kids playtable or a new addition to the conservatory.
Add some colour to doors and cupboards by putting wallpaper on panels. Choose the scale of the pattern carefully though: if the space is too small and the scale too large, the pattern will get lost.
Large-scale prints will make a wall appear smaller. Similarly, small-scale ones will give the illusion of space.
For the really adventurous, add a twist on tradition by wallpapering a ceiling. This works particularly well with high ceilings, such as those in period properties.
