The Revival of Wonderful Wallpaper Designs By Terry Henman At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

One of the latest interior design trends is to use wallpaper rather than plain painted walls. The revival in the use of wall paper is the ideal solution for adding colour and texture to a room.

Designs from the psychedelic patterns of the 60's is being seen in contemporary home, whilst more traditional styles use beautiful patterns in a wide range of colours and styles. Rene McIntosh and William Morris are also being used in both modern and traditional interior styles.

Many people become confused as to the window dressings to use if they have patterned wallpaper. The basic 'rule' was to have patterned curtain fabrics if you had plain walls and plain curtains if the walls had patterned wallpapers.

A mix of both plain painted walls and an accent wall with wallpapers, which is typically the wall with the fireplace, however having wallpapers which match the curtains and bedding can create sumptuous styles which offer a very striking look.

French toile designs are the ideal combinations which have been used for many years with blue and cream or white or deep red with cream being the most classical design colours. This French style epitomises French chic in bourgeois homes throughout France. In the UK this style is becoming increasingly popular as it offers a stunning look, with a country cottage feel which is easy to replicate.

Fabulous bedroom designs which use wallpapers, curtains, bed valances and scatter cushions which are all identical in colour and pattern can look overbearing, particularly in small rooms, however on large bedrooms and used in conjunction with white are simply stunning.

Combinations of blue and white are ideal for creating a crisp, clean look. However the shade of blue you use needs to be given careful consideration, as blue is a cold colour the wrong shade can quite literally make you feel cold. This may be ideal in the summer, but during the colder months you need to feel warm and cosy!

If you opt for this style of interior design you will also need to ensure you have a focal point, otherwise the patterns will becoming overwhelming, which can cause confusion to the eyes. In a lounge you have a choice of what you make the focal point this may be a coffee table or mantle piece which has seasonal fresh flowers added or accent pieces of personal objects strategically placed are the ideal solution.

This style of décor needs to be kept clutter free, otherwise the whole room can become jumbled and uncoordinated, which is not congenial to creating relaxing and tranquil homes.

In bedrooms the bed can be the focal point and whilst the valance and cushions may have the same pattern, keeping the bed plain white brings a sense of balance to the room. Opt for plain white quilted style bedspreads, as these will coordinated effortlessly and yet bring a sense of cohesion an the ultimate in professional looking interior design styles. Use tie backs to hold full length curtains swept open from the centre as this will also draw attention to the natural light source in the room.
