Incorporating Graffiti Wallpaper into a Teenage Bedroom

Gallery

Graffiti is a bit like Marmite, it is one of those things that you either love or hate. Regardless of whether you like it or not, it is a growing trend in both the art scene and the interior design world – particularly popular with the youth of today. With an increasing number of brands starting to offer graffiti wallpaper like Muriva Graffiti Brick Wallpaper or Debona Graffiti Wallpaper, we thought that we’d help answer some of your questions about how to utilise graffiti wallpaper in a bedroom.

Can graffiti bedroom wallpaper be used tastefully?
The answer to this question is yes – in the right design, graffiti wallpaper can not only provide a bold, eye-catching look but it can also appear sophisticated and tasteful too. The overall result all depends on your use of the wallpaper and your overall styling.

How do I choose a colour scheme?
Graffiti bedroom wallpaper comes in a wide range of colours. Take the Arthouse Street Wise Graffiti Wallpaper for example, this comes in a moody black and grey colour scheme with just a hint of teal and yellow colouring. The Rasch Urban Graffiti Wallpaper on the other hand comes in a more vibrant colour scheme incorporating red, blue, yellow and more. The key to getting the look right is to strike a balance between what your teenager wants and what you like. Don’t just choose the first graffiti wallpaper you find, instead look around at the different designs and colour schemes and choose one that meets your tastes.

What accent colours should I use?
When it comes to choosing accent colours for other walls or woodwork, less is certainly more for a tasteful look. All the graffiti wallpaper designs work well with white. However if you want to select a bolder accent colour, look at the design of the graffiti wallpaper you have chosen and select the shade that appears the least in the design – that can make a perfect accent colour for other areas of the room.

How do I know how many walls to use it on?
As graffiti wallpaper is typically very busy in design, it is actually best used on just one or two walls. For the best effect in large bedrooms, choose two walls that meet and paper both in the same wallpaper for a great effect. Smaller rooms may be overpowered by covering two walls in the design so opt instead for just papering one wall.

What type of flooring goes with graffiti wallpaper?
When choosing flooring solutions for a graffiti themed bedroom, look for something clean and simple in design.  Light to medium wooden flooring is perfect or choose a light, plain carpet to avoid the chance of it clashing with your graffiti wallpaper.

How do I complete the look?
To complete the look and create a stunning graffiti inspired teenage bedroom, choose accessories in your accent colour. This will help tie the look together. Keep bedspreads and curtains plain and simple, again in just one of the accent colours for a more coherent look.

So now you know how to create a tasteful teenage bedroom using graffiti wallpaper, choose your favourite design and start decorating today.

Brick Wallpaper – The Latest Trend for Urban Homes

Gallery

When it comes to making a bold style statement in your home, there are a number of ways to do it. For this season, there is an unexpected trend entering the interior design world. Blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living and inspired by urban streets, the trend is for homes to be adorned with brick wallpaper. Here we look at where the trend originated, exactly what it is and how you can achieve the look in your own home.

What is brick wallpaper?
Brick wallpaper might sound like an unknown concept but it is actually exactly what you think it is – wallpaper that has been printed to look like bricks. The designs vary between the different designers who are offering this wallpaper. The most traditional looking design features rustic red bricks whilst other variations include grey brick wallpaper and slate effect wallpaper like Fine Decor Slate Wallpaper.

Where did the trend originate?
The trend for brick effect wallpaper isn’t a completely new look. Brick wallpaper was a concept that originally came from the US in the late 1980s. It was a period of rebellion, people going against trends and striving to create modern, contemporary spaces that showed that individuality. Brick walls were pioneered by loft owners in New York who wanted to make bold statements that were still in keeping with their urban, inner-city environment. They decided to turn their backs on what they considered to be boring wallpaper and paint effect and leave their brick walls natural for all to see. For those who didn’t happen to have exposed brick walls in their home, they opted to recreate the look with brick effect wallpaper. The trend has only recently re-emerged as people again try to embrace city living within their own homes.

How can I achieve the look in my home?
The look is really easy to achieve in your home. Brick effect wallpaper is available from a number of wallpaper manufacturers including designs such as Muriva Loft Brick Wallpaper and Fine Décor Rustic Brick. The trick is to choose just one wall and use the brick effect wallpaper to create a feature wall. The easiest way to do this is to choose a wall that is already used to frame something – the wall the TV or fireplace is mounted on in the living room, the wall the headboard is on in the bedroom or the wall behind the cooker in a kitchen. Simply apply the wallpaper using the correct wallpaper adhesive and you will immediately have an outdoor brick effect inside your home.

To really bring the look to life, team with urban accessories. Think wrought iron or stainless steel to continue the outdoor theme whilst offering durability in your home. Bold, bright pops of colour in accessories are great for bringing the room together whilst graffiti art coordinates perfectly with the urban living theme.

So now that you know all about the latest trend for brick inspired wallpaper and how to achieve the look in your own home, what are you waiting for? Start creating your urban living space today.

Muriva Wallpaper For The Female Touch

Gallery

When redecorating a bedroom, it can be difficult to know where to start. You could go for a glamorous, girly, fun room, something elegant and timeless, or any number of other styles. Below we look at three options for creating an on trend, great looking bedroom using Muriva Wallpaper designs.

Timeless Elegance With Floral Prints

The wide range of floral prints available from Muriva have helped make it famous for elegance. There are many different patterns and shades within the range that are great for creating a tranquil, feminine bedroom. Smaller prints and pastel shades can give your room a country cottage feel, while larger, more colourful prints will create a more modern feel. For a small bedroom, apply Muriva patterns to one feature wall and paint the other walls in colours that match the shades in the wallpaper. This will stop the wallpaper from feeling overpowering. The furniture that to use are traditional, and made from pale wood like pine and birch. Match the soft furnishings like curtains and bedding to one or two shades from the wallpaper to complete the wood.

A Touch of Fun

Your bedroom is a great space in your house to have a bit of fun with. You can opt for a design that doesn’t necessarily fit with the rest of your home, or be a bit braver and show your quirky style. Muriva wallpaper have a lot of different designs that can help you add a real stamp of personality to your room. There are travel wallpaper designs based on iconic locations like London, New York and Las Vegas, or retro vehicle designs like Classic Mini and VW Camper. Use these designs across the whole wall for a modern feel, with accessories in matching shades.

Girly Glamour

As we touched on in the previous section, the bedroom is a great place to really go for it design wise with no need for the caution shown in the more public rooms in your house. Another option to give it a dose of girly glamour. The shimmering Dazzle range is the part of Muriva’s wallpaper collection best suited to creating this look. It’s available in a range of colours from eye-catching silver and pink to more subtle grey. You can use a Dazzle design in the whole room, or on one feature wall more a less in-your-face look. Accessorize with crystal lamps, mirrors and other sparkling objects for a completely glamorous look.

To create these three lovely looks, and many others, check out the Muriva wallpaper range.

Autumn/Winter 2013 in Contemporary Wallpaper Design

Gallery

Interior design is just like clothing when it comes to new styles. They change every season. While no one wants the cost and hassle of redecorating every season, it can be good to keep abreast of current styles for the next time you want to make a change. This is a rundown of the three central trends for contemporary wallpaper design  in Autumn/Winter 2013.

Floral Wallpaper

Our first A/W 13 trend is a development of the Floral Wallpaper trend that was popular earlier in the year. For A/W the prints are getting bigger giving the heavily patterned designs a bolder feel. Rich, intense colours are in vogue. Deep purples like aubergine and dark fuchsia, petrol blue and mustard yellow are in for the softer teals and oranges of the previous season. When it comes to greens lime has been replaced by emerald and moss. The effect is a more natural foliage look. Branch and naked tree designs are also popular reflecting the changing seasons.

Photographic Wallpaper

The second trend that’s been very popular this season is wallpaper that uses photography and real life images in its design. Some smaller trends within this area include celebrity prints – ‘Classic’ stars like Marilyn Monroe and Elvis are popular, as well as contemporary celebs like One Direction – and iconic landscapes like New York and London. These designs are typically quite ‘in your face’ so often best used in larger rooms or just on feature walls.

Themed Wallpaper

The third trend in modern wallpaper this season is themed wallpaper. This can be anything from graffiti to retro designs. These prints have to be used carefully, otherwise they can look outdated as opposed to retro.

Whilst being wildly different in design, these three contemporary wallpaper trends will bring drama and colour to any room in your house.
