Wallpaper can create a bold statement, provide depth and bring personality to a space. With the number of patterns, textures, traditional pasted and/or non-committal fabric peel and stick wallpaper options out there, there is a truly a style for everyone. 


To make adding wallpaper to your home even more appealing, now you can elevate your space even more through customizable wallpaper.  Yes, that’s right, you can now customize wallpaper colors to coordinate with the furniture, art, décor and design elements in your home. This makes it SO much easier to find a wallpaper that’s perfect for your space.

THE POWER OF CUSTOMIZING COLORS
Having the ability to personalize the color of wallpaper allows you to choose the exact look you desire for your home. Here's an example of how you can do it. I found this Rustic Palms wallpaper at Love vs. Design.  I really liked the design, but the color wasn’t right for the space.  So, I used their color customization tool to change out the original colors and create a beautiful wallpaper that was more aligned with the desired design aesthetic.

SELECTING THE BEST COLOR FOR YOUR SPACE
The trick to choosing just the right color wallpaper is knowing the atmosphere/mood you want to create and then working with the fixed elements (flooring, cabinetry, countertops, etc.) in your home to coordinate and provide contrast for a beautiful result. 

Using Color to Create a Mood

·         Light and Neutral Colors: Light colors reflect light and make the space seem airier and more open. Light colors are also great for making a small room seem more expansive. If you want your space to feel open, airy or expansive choose light wallpaper colors with little contrast.

·         Bold and Dark Colors: Deep, dark colors can create a significant impact in a room, while also having the ability to create cozier, more intimate spaces. If you want to make a dramatic statement, choose a large-scale wallpaper pattern with dark or contrasting colors.  If want to create more coziness then choose a deep color with a smaller-scale wallpaper pattern or texture and less contrast between colors.

·         Playful and Colorful: Dynamic and bright colors are perfect for adding personality and energy to a room. These colors are great for bedrooms as a way to personalize the space or for play areas where you want to encourage engagement. Make sure to choose wallpaper patterns that reflect the desired mood/personality of the space.

The great thing about wallpaper is that it is suitable for all rooms of your home and making it personal with the color can make your space even more special.

Choosing the Best Wallpaper for Any Room in a Home

Wallpaper is a versatile design element that can enhance any space in your home. By customizing colors to match your existing décor, you can create a cohesive, personalized look that reflects your style. Here are some ideas for selecting the perfect wallpaper for different rooms in your home:

• Living Room: The living room is a place to make a statement while maintaining a welcoming ambiance. Customize your wallpaper color to complement your furniture, lighting and décor for a harmonious feel. A neutral background with deep accent colors can add warmth and sophistication, while textured or fabric peel and stick wallpaper brings depth and character.

·         Home Office: A well-designed home office should inspire productivity while maintaining a sense of calm. Customizing your wallpaper in soft neutrals or muted greens can create a focused and serene environment. If you want to spark creativity, opt for a geometric or abstract pattern in energizing yet sophisticated tones. Textured wallpaper can also add warmth and depth without overwhelming the space.

• Bedroom: A bedroom should feel like a retreat, so opt for soft, calming tones like muted blues, warm grays or earthy neutrals. Customizing your wallpaper in these colors will help create a peaceful atmosphere. For added dimension without overwhelming the space, consider a delicate pattern or a subtle texture.

• Children’s Bedrooms: Personalization is key when designing a child’s room. Whether you choose soft pastel wall paper for girls for a soothing effect or bold, energetic colors to reflect another child’s personality, customized wallpaper allows you to tailor the space to their preferences. You can even adjust the pattern to align with their favorite themes, making their room feel truly special.

• Bathrooms and Kitchens: While these spaces require durable and easy-to-clean finishes, wallpaper can still add charm and character. Opt for water-resistant, fabric peel-and-stick designs in colors that enhance your cabinetry, countertops and fixtures. Soft greens and blues create a spa-like feel, warm beige and greige provide calm, comfort and citrus-inspired hues bring energy and vibrance.
