There are different decorative materials you can use to create a simple change with a big impact in your home. We\u2019ve already shared the most commonly used material by designers to update a space: paint<\/a>. Today, let\u2019s talk about decorating with wallpaper! Wallpaper is another amazing decorative material you can apply to your interiors for an instant upgrade.<\/p>\n

Wallpaper has been around for centuries, but new technology has taken this classical decorative material to a whole new level. Between the different types of patterns, textures and its own content, today you have thousands of options.<\/p>\n

So where should you start, and why choose wallpaper in the first place?. This blog post will cover the main features you should know before decorating with wallpaper.<\/p>\n

WHY CHOOSE WALLPAPER<\/h2>\n

\"Decorating<\/p>\n

Wallpaper, also referred to today as wallcovering (because not all are now made out of paper), is a cost-efficient way to change your interior.<\/p>\n

Decorating with wallpaper is a way to change your interior space without too large of a commitment. Imagine yourself wanting to change out your space every few years. With wallpaper, it\u2019s possible and more cost-effective than to reinvent the space entirely by tearing out walls or changing the interior carpentry.<\/p>\n

All wallcoverings will add depth, and depending on the design, can add movement and warmth to a space. There are thousands of patterns, colors, and textures to choose from so you can be sure to find one you absolutely love.<\/p>\n

Wallcovering content nowadays is much more resistant. Manufacturers imitate fragile natural wallcoverings in vinyl, which look stunning and almost identical to the original natural wallpapers!<\/p>\n

BUDGET AND WALLPAPER<\/h2>\n

\"Decorating<\/p>\n

It is true that wallcovering is more expensive than paint a space to freshen it up. And we\u2019ve mentioned, paint is a great way to spruce up a room (see our last posts on paint aqu\u00ed<\/a>), although wallpaper will take your space a step further and make it feel more luxurious. You do have to consider its cost though. Not only will you need to buy the paper, but remember to calculate the cost of installing that material as well.<\/p>\n

We always recommend using a trained professional for wallcovering installations<\/a>. Otherwise, you could ruin the paper. Also, working with an interior designer will not only help make sure that wallpaper fits in your overall budget but also to verify dimensions and quantity to purchase.<\/p>\n

Although, if you choose to DIY, keep reading for some interior design tips to consider while measuring.<\/p>\n

WHERE TO USE IT?<\/h2>\n

Do not panic if you see your budget won\u2019t allow you to install wallcoverings in your entire home. Our Miami designers actually love using wallcovering on one (strategic) wall within a room. They do that to create accent walls or focal points in a space.<\/p>\n

MEASURING FOR QUANTITY<\/h2>\n

Now that you know where you will be decorating with wallpaper, calculate the quantity of material you will need.<\/p>\n

The best way to measure the quantity you\u2019ll need to purchase is to calculate the linear meters in your space. Combine that with the height of your ceiling and you\u2019ll figure out the final amount.<\/p>\n

The tricky thing is that the quantity will depend on the type of wallpaper you buy. Some wallpapers can be cut after you lay the first strip, and then right next to the first strip can go the second one. But some have repeat patterns that you must respect. In this case, you need to purchase a larger quantity and there will be more waste.<\/p>\n

WHERE TO BUY?<\/h2>\n

Today, you\u2019ll find wallpaper even at the local Target store<\/a>. They have a cost-efficient option that is removable<\/a>. This is great if you\u2019re renting! You can go that route and DIY your space, but keep in mind that this type of product is meant to last for a limited time only.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a longer-lasting option, head to your closest interior design store and check out options with the designers.<\/p>\n

At DKOR Interiors, we are lucky to have our sister company DKOR Ventanas y Paredes<\/a> at an arm\u2019s reach. Typically, when clients come in for presentations, our interior designers pull from DKOR W&W\u2019s endless inventory of amazing wallcoverings. We all love to hang out with Margie, the owner, who knows everything about wallpapers and window treatments!<\/p>\n
