Grand Home Decoration

Nowadays more and more parents look for cute baby wallpapers when it comes to designing their newborn bedroom. Whether a boy or a girl, your little gem deserves a very special room indeed. You have thought about every single detail, so don’t forget about the one that stares you right on the face and all around the room. Babies wallpapers are indeed very important when it comes to adding the right look to the new habitacle.

Designs and Patterns

There are many different designs and patterns to choose from. The most popular ones are those of cartoons or animation, generally Disney, Pixar and other films’ motifs. If you feel that there are too many choices out there just go back to when you were a kid yourself. What sort of colors inspire you? What is the pattern that will add to the rest of your home decor? Are you looking for something simple and plain, non-distractive, or would you rather decorate the room with a very colorful and “noisy” baby wallpaper that keeps the room alive and magical? Are you on a budget and you need to keep the same wallpaper for years to come? Those are questions you should be asking yourself before choosing out of the many options when it comes to baby wallpapers.

Your Baby’s New Bedroom Interior

Decorating your baby’s new bedroom can be a lot of fun. If you are on a tight budget and you find that beautiful babies wallpapers are expensive, use your own painting technique. How about stickers or borders that would bring to life a simple white wall? There is no doubt that the right wallpaper will embellish the room considerably, but it should not be the only option. Many stores will sell different types of children’s stickers to add to the walls, wardrobes and other furniture. Another option would be to dress a single wall and paint the rest of the room of the same color. Soft shades will work well for newborn babies. Traditionally, baby pink and baby blue have been favorites for a number of years. They are beautiful and subtle colors that will add to the habitacle and will never go out of fashion.

One way to ensure your newborn will adore the room is to choose baby wallpapers that have bright colors without complicated patterns. Shapes that are simple will also benefit the baby when it comes to “checking” his or her new room out, as your baby will love these colors and shapes.

Whatever your favorite choice, the things you should whatch out for when it comes to choosing from so many different baby wallpapers in the market is:

• Decide on your budget
• Durability (This year’s film is next years news!)
• Colors, shapes and patterns
• It should add to the rest of the decor
• Make sure it is washable

Infants’ rooms are a great way to get about revamping the rest of your home decoration if needed. As you go through the new room – whether from scratch or just adding to the existing decor – you might as well assess the rest of the rooms and overall look, style and design. Allow for plenty of time and good planning; two things that you might not have the luxury of after having a baby.

There are two ways in which you can create textured walls: with the aid of paint (thus resembling the desired texture) or by building the wall WITH the texture.

Wall texture through the aid of paint

This option is very inexpensive and simple and can also be done without the need of professionals. Just paint with a base color first and lay the first layer with a strong brush or roller. Wait for one day for the pint to dry and proceed to add the next coat. Apply a second layer with the textured roll of your choice. You will find hundreds of them with different textures like corrugated skin, prints, stone, leather, rock, etc. If you want to apply even textures use a sponge for the second coat.

Textured paints are a mix of water and dye products and when superimposed on surfaces they mimic certain natural finishes. They are very easy to clean and usually give out a matt sort of appearance. Generally, with 1kg of paint you will be able to layer a 5m2 wall. After applying the second coat the paint should be distributed in different directions in irregular dosages. Before it dries, you can smooth out the surface with a flexible plastic spatula by pressing blobs of paint and thus creating a blur effect.

Venetian stucco

Another technique used for texturing walls is the “stucco” which is really suitable for walls in poor conditions or with ugly imperfections. The stucco technique will conceal these imperfections due to its thick consistency (between 2 and 3mm). The product used is a ready to apply mix which is very easy to use for coating and very resistant to dirt.

Extend a layer of the product with a textured roller and smooth the surface with a rubber or plastic spatula. Change the stroke directions often so it becomes rough and irregular. Once it dries, apply a second coat. Distribute it over the surface in small amounts the size of a walnut, and again change the stroke directions often.

When the surface dries completely it must be polished. This technique consists of rubbing the pint with a clean spatula until we achieve a silky luster finish. Tip: the flame of a lighter one meter away from the wall will tell you if the job is done – just make sure that the flame’s reflection is clear and bright.

Building the wall

This is a more complicated option and it really requires the aid of professionals. You can use different materials to achieve the desired look like cement, plaster, brick or stone. The brick wall texture is very popular but the general disadvantage is that they are difficult to clean. The actual texture can accumulate dust and dirt over a period of time.

Your textured walls should be in harmony with the rest of the room or home decor by matching with the furniture, curtains and other accessories.

Your textured walls should match the rest of the room or home decoration with existing furniture, curtains and other accessories thus creating a harmonious environment.

The color green has always been connected with peace and nature. It is not really the first choice people go for when thinking about their home decor. But, it is, in effective, a fantastic color to display around your home and there are literally millions of tonal ranges you can play with to set the desired mood – whether a great electric lime to spark up four walls or a lovely soft apple green to give a sense of calm and security.

Green wallpaper is very easy on the eye. One of its greatest qualities not found in any other color is that our eyes rest on all the different shades really easily. That makes it a fantastic choice for decorating our walls. Also, the color scheme for green is vast and very rich and you just can’t go wrong with it… or can you?

Let’s have a look at a few ideas you should consider:

- Add shades of depth around the room if you are going for shy green wallpaper (i.e. pale green). Bright greens will wash away the blandness.

- You can easily add dark fixtures, elements and accessories in a room for a perfect sense of balance. Rich dark chocolate mixes really well with green wallpaper. If you are decorating your living room, go for dark leather furniture. Check out leather living room furniture for a variety of choices. You can add plenty of accessories to compliment the green wallpaper, like a dark wooden large wall clock, any kind of mahogany furniture or exhuberant metal wall art to add refinement and distinction to your walls.

- Freshness is the key to green. Green wallpapers combine well with white in any chosen room. Continue the theme with light green carpets.

- Create harmony by using the color wheel when combining your green wallpaper with other elements in the room. For example, dark green wallpaper would combine really well with grey, fuchsia, apple green and lilac.

Use the color wheel for your complimentary colors

- Green will give you a sense of nature as well as freedom. Place the green wallpaper in rooms with uPVC french doors.

- Conservatories should always be spacious rooms; if your conservatory is small and you are thinking of remodelling it, add green to the decor and have uPVC windows installed to enhance the sense of space and freedom in the room.

- Spark up your walls with a modern use of green. Have a look at the opposite end of your chosen green in the color wheel (picture above). Your rooms will spontaneously come to life.

- Mix your green wallpaper with other wallpaper colors. Apply the green wallpaper in three walls and add a striking color to the fourth (using the color wheel). This also works well with patterns and flowery wallpapers.

- If you want to “go monochromatic” on your bedroom, use three different shades of the same tone. Add rich textures like combining linen bedroom curtains or silk duvet covers.

Pink will compliment your green wallpaper like the flowers in the picture above.

- Last but not least. Use the finishing touches with care and you will be delighted. Bouquets of flowers and plants will compliment nicely any green wallpaper you decor your room with.

Bring nature indoors. Green wallpaper will make your rooms shine with freshness. Go spring green, stick to the above rules and you will not go wrong.
