You want to update the look of one or more rooms. Opting to do something different with the walls is a relatively fast and easy way to accomplish the goal. As you consider different options for new wall coverings, keep these three questions in mind. The answers will help you choose coverings that are just right.
First, ask yourself what type of texture and finish you want for the walls. Do you prefer something with some sheen and possibly a smooth surface? Maybe you like the idea of rough texture that adds a different element to the space. You might like to go with a finish with a little texture but no sheen at all. You can find all those options and more with relative ease.
Next, you also want to ask yourself about the color or colors that you have in mind. What color combination would serve the space well? Assuming you want to keep some of the furnishings within the space, consider picking up one of the minor colors in those elements and use it as the inspiration for the walls. Doing so will help that color stand out more in upholstery and wall art, effectively helping those pieces take on a new look too.
Remember to ask yourself about the amount of care the new wall coverings will need. While many options can be cleaned using common household products, others may require the use of special cleaning agents. Make sure you know what’s needed before making that final selection.
Be open to different ideas about what to do with the walls. Get advice from an expert and consider each suggestion carefully. The expert may come with an idea you love but never thought of before.
