How to Choose the Perfect Wallpaper for Your Home

Our wallpapers and fabrics are more than decorative — they’re part of the story your home tells. Every texture, every print, every soft touch is chosen with purpose, and designed to bring a sense of calm and refinement to your space.

Wallpaper has the power to completely transform a space — adding character, warmth, and a sense of personality that paint alone can’t achieve. I believe wallpaper should do more than decorate a wall; it should tell a story, express your style, and enhance how you feel in your home.

Whether you’re reimagining a cosy bedroom, elevating a hallway, or creating a statement in a dining room, here’s how to choose the perfect wallpaper that feels timeless and uniquely yours.

1. Consider the Mood You Want to Create

Start by thinking about how you want the room to feel. Soft florals can bring a sense of calm and romance — perfect for bedrooms or reading corners. Bolder patterns, like large-scale geometric designs, add energy and drama to social spaces.

If you’re unsure, take cues from your existing furniture and lighting. Wallpaper doesn’t need to match perfectly, but it should complement the textures, tones, and overall mood of your home.

2. Think About Scale and Proportion

The size of your room can influence the scale of the pattern you choose. Larger prints can make a grand space feel inviting, while smaller, more delicate motifs can add interest to compact rooms without overwhelming them.

For balance, try using bold designs on a single feature wall, or choose a soft, repeating print throughout for a more cohesive look.

3. Use Colour with Intention

Colour sets the emotional tone of a room. Neutrals and soft hues create serenity, while deeper tones — navy, olive, or burgundy — add richness and sophistication.

Each of our wallpapers is thoughtfully coloured to work beautifully with both classic and contemporary interiors. We recommend ordering samples to see how the tones shift with natural light throughout the day.

4.Choose Quality and Craftsmanship

Beautiful design deserves beautiful materials. All of my wallpapers are printed in the UK using sustainable methods and high-quality papers to ensure exceptional detail and durability. Our collections are inspired by nature, art, and heritage — each one made to stand the test of time.

Whether you’re drawn to soft prints or bold, expressive patterns, choosing wallpaper is about creating a space that feels personal and enduring. Take your time, trust your instincts, and let your walls tell your story.
