]]>TREND 1: SIMPLE DETAILS
With many of us spending a lot more time at home in the last few months, simple design with clean lines and graphics have become a focal point. Many have realised that simpler is more powerful and have chosen to declutter and clear away busier spaces.
To get this look: Black and whites or simple geometric patterns are natural choices, along with larger leafed floral designs.

TREND 2: HANDMAID'S TALE
The last few months have taught us all to slow down and appreciate the finer things in life, such as crafts and art. Attention to detail and taking time to master handmade crafts and items has seen a shift in the individual importance of items over mass production.
To get this look: Wallpaper that looks illustrated and or painted, as well as designs with pottery and ceramics as subject matters.

TREND 3: BEAUTY OF NATURE
Wallpapers that will take centre stage are those that remind us of the beauty of nature as documented by David Attenborough in 'A Life on our Planet'. Scenes that show how precious the earth is such as landscape images, botanicals and bringing nature into our home's and office spaces will reflect this trend.
To get this look: Choose aerial abstract views from above earth, forest and fantastical scenes including all creatures, big and small.
This trend accepts and celebrates imperfections that life's changes bring forth. Change and non-permeance will become more natural and these designs will feel comfortable and rich with meaning and time.
To get this look: Industrial style cracked concrete, paintings that show decay and imperfections looking design in fibers and textures.
TREND 5: DITSY FLORAL
Scenes from the movies of old English Victoria Houses covered in Flowery wallpaper on all walls, in each room are back! These send us back to a simpler time with less technology and life was a lot less frantic.
To get this look: Pretty floral prints, soft pastel flowery prints and oranges and browns.

]]>Blue is an excellent and popular colour choice when decorating your home and/or office. Not only do we love this colour, it was Pantone’s 2020 Colour of the Year for Classic Blue.
]]>Not only do we love this colour, Pantone’s 2020 Colour of the Year is Classic Blue, a shade reminiscent of the sky at dusk. "It's a colour that anticipates what's going to happen next," said Laurie Pressman, the vice president of the Pantone Colour Institute, which selects the Colour of the Year.
Blue is the colour of the sky and sea and is often associated with honesty and serenity. Surrounded by a palette of cool blues and an array of warm and soothing shades blue helps induce a gently calming effect and feelings of peaceful tranquility to the human spirit.
The colour blue works well with other cool tones however if you are looking for a bolder contrasting colour select a colour from the other side of the colour wheel as an accent, this is why reds and blue are often used together. Denali wallpaper as seen in this picture is an example of contrasting colours.

When decorating smaller spaces that you want to appear larger, cool colours appear to recede and are therefore perfect. When blue is mixed with other colours of the colour wheel a warm tone is produced and this will make a room feel inviting and cozy. Therefore when you are decorating spaces in your home that are generally used by the family, such as the dining room, TV Room, or kitchen, using a warm blue tone is ideal. A great example of this is shown below.

Going with a cooler shade of blue brings a tranquil calming effect to the room and is seen to be more effective when decorating your bedroom, powder room or bathroom as below.

]]>We have all had that idea as to how to decorate or brighten up a room. Should I paint, should I leave it blank, or should I try to add some colour and design with wallpaper? Wallpaper is a great way to cost effectively revamp and brighten up any room, be it for a grown adult, young teenager, toddler or nursery space. When selecting wallpaper for bedrooms there are some thoughts to bear in mind to make this a rewarding task.
But how?!
Dependent on the age and stage in life you may be hoping for the wallpaper to achieve different things. For example, choosing a wallpaper for a nursery can be gender specific, you can get designs in soft hues of dusty pinks and blues, and choose a gentle design to keep your baby calm and cozy for bedtime and keep them happy with something to look at as they drift off to sleep.

The design you choose for a toddler’s room can be bright and colourful and it can also be educational with the addition of the world’s continents, or animals of the world for example to not only add colour to your little one’s rooms but make this interactive for them too, in their own sanctuary – their bedrooms.

Appeal and Needs change
As you get older your needs and desires for your bedroom walls evolve, and you may want to take in factors such as the size of your room – do you want to make the room seems bigger or smaller, what existing furniture do you have placed where, and do you need to choose a design or pattern that won’t be blocked by this furniture or look incomplete if partially covered by an item of furniture.
Tips to remember:
Choosing wallpaper designs and patterns can be a very creative and rewarding project and the best part is seeing a room transform from ordinary to extraordinary in a very short period of time!

However, how do you make the look of your bedlinen and your wallpaper come together to look like a cohesive space? It can be tricky, but here are some tips and tricks you can apply to create a well put together room.
Neutral toned wallpaper

Neutral tones can look boring or dull (don’t worry, its ok if you prefer that colour pallet, it can also be incredibly stylish and chic). An easy way to enhance the look of your room and your bed is to use textures to create interest. Mix and match shades. Lightweight Bamboo and Cotton, a knitted throw or washed linen all work well together.
When deciding on the shade of your sheets and quilt cover its really important to consider what mood you want to achieve for the room. You may wish to keep your bedding completely white or neutral so the room remains calm. A dark grey is a great way to add a bit of character whilst remaining neutral.
Or, like the picture above, you can create a stunning, personality packed room by picking a statement colour that contrasts with the wallpaper. The focal point will shift from the wallpaper to your bed, so make sure you have great quality bedding.
You can also see, creating a statement bed with a Bed heads will dramatically change the atmosphere of the room from a calming, relaxed space to one of vibrancy and personality. Here, the blush tone really warms up the room.
Another great way to add dimension to your bed is to layer it up. Fold the quilt cover back to show the sheets. This breaks up the bed more.
Floral wallpaper

Floral wallpaper can be so beautiful. But, depending on the size of the patterns, it can also make a room feel a bit busy. Best way to style this type of wallpaper is to let the it be the statement and use neutral tones, such as the background colour of the wallpaper as inspiration to style your bed.
Or, if you’re just not into neutral tones, make sure you pick a colour related to a shade in the wallpaper and of the same intensity. For example, the image above allows the wallpaper to be the champion in the room. The quilt cover is white but the bed accents are the same intense green as the wallpaper. If you’re in love with this wallpaper and other great selections check out the collections here.
The easiest way to make sure you get your colour selection right is by picking one colour in the wall paper and matching it. When there is commonality between the wallpaper and your bedsheets and quilt covers, there is a nice flow and cohesion to the room. Its effortless chic.
Stripes

To create an eclectic feel to your bedroom, try adding a floral or polka dot print quilt cover to your bed. To get this pairing right its important to choose one colour palette that is the thread between the striped wallpaper and your quilt cover and sheets.
Another great way to create cohesion in your bedroom is to use the colour of the stripes to influence your bedding. Choosing a darker or lighter colour than the stripes creates a nice accent. Using a solid coloured quilt cover also can make the stripes feel more dramatic.
Textured wallpaper

Textured wallpaper is a great way to add depth, surprise and intrigue to your bedroom. The look can seem subtle depending on the colour scheme you’ve used. That’s why incorporating bright colours or designs in your bedding will help warm up the room and add more character.
Or, like the image above, you can create a sophisticated room by keeping clean lines and using neutral colours for your bedding. Here, the soft grey plays off the wallpaper to create a beautiful, luxurious and calm room.
Bedlinen and wallpaper go hand in hand when you’re trying to create a specific look for your bedroom. While it can be tricky finding the right bedding, especially when you have a colourful, statement wall, using the techniques above will ensure your bedroom looks put together and your bedding and wallpaper a match made in heaven.
