TRICK THE EYE “Wallpaper just keeps rolling,
and whatever your taste, there is something for everyone,” promises David Harris, design director at innovative and cult interiors destination, Andrew Martin. “From traditional florals and trompe l’oeil, to contemporary geometric and tropical patterns, or animal motifs and architectural designs, it’s a world of endless possibilities.” Wondering how to best style your wallpaper? “Ideally, pair a large- scale patterned wallpaper with a plain rug, and add in cushions with smaller-scale patterns,” Harris advises. “Instead of using matching colours, opt for shades that complement one another, to create a sense of cohesiveness.” For those who are more wallpaper- wise and using two different
contrasting patterns, he recommends limiting the palette to two or three shades to avoid overwhelming a room. “Balance large-scale patterns with smaller-scale prints, and keep some areas devoid of pattern altogether,” he summarises. If you’re still nervous about wading into wallpaper, Harris suggests turning your attention to the - oſten neglected - smallest room in the home. “If there is one room in the house where you can afford to have lots of decorating fun, it’s probably the downstairs loo,” he says. “Anything goes wallpaper wise; bright colours, geometrics. Finish by adorning the poshly-papered walls with your favourite pictures, photography, mirrors and collectables to add extra depth, texture and light.”
