Wallpaper is one of the most powerful tools in interior design. It can instantly change the mood of a room, add personality, and tie together all the elements of your décor. But with thousands of patterns, colors, and textures to choose from, selecting the perfect wallpaper can feel overwhelming.
At Jidar, we guide our clients through every step of the design process—especially when it comes to decisions that make a bold impact, like wallpaper. In this article, we’ll walk you through how to choose the right wallpaper to reflect your style, enhance your space, and fit your lifestyle.
Every room in your home serves a different function, and the wallpaper you choose should reflect that. For example, bedrooms call for calming tones and soft patterns that promote rest and relaxation. In contrast, a living room or dining area can handle bolder, more dramatic designs that spark conversation and express personality.
Children’s rooms are perfect for playful themes, while a powder room or hallway is the ideal place to try something daring without overwhelming your home.
Before selecting wallpaper, look at the furniture and decorative items already in the room. Are they modern and sleek? Then go for geometric or abstract patterns. Is the furniture more classic or vintage? Consider floral prints, damask, or toile.
Mixing styles can work beautifully if done intentionally. At Jidar, we often help clients balance modern furniture with textured or nature-inspired wallpapers to soften the space and add warmth.
Colors influence mood more than most people realize. For example:
Blues and greens evoke calmness and focus, ideal for bedrooms or studies.
Warm neutrals and pastels feel cozy and welcoming.
Bold tones like deep red, navy, or emerald add drama and elegance but work best in spaces with lots of natural light.
Make sure the wallpaper complements your existing color palette. A color consultation with our Jidar design team can help avoid costly mistakes.
The scale of the wallpaper pattern should fit the size of the room. Small patterns tend to work well in tight areas like bathrooms or hallways, while large, bold patterns shine in bigger rooms. Pay attention to the repeat—this is how often the pattern design repeats itself on the roll. Larger repeats require more wallpaper and more careful planning.
If the ceiling is low, vertical stripes can visually lift the room. If you want to make a small room feel wider, go for horizontal patterns.
Wallpaper isn’t just about color and pattern. The finish—matte, satin, metallic, or textured—adds another layer of depth.
Textured wallpapers (like grasscloth or linen-look) bring richness and sophistication but may not suit high-humidity areas like kitchens or bathrooms.
Vinyl wallpapers are durable and easy to clean, making them perfect for high-traffic areas or children’s rooms.
Metallic or reflective finishes can help small or dark rooms feel larger and brighter by reflecting light.
Wallpaper doesn’t need to cover the entire room. Many Jidar clients use wallpaper as an accent—on one feature wall, inside a niche, or even on the ceiling. It can add a layer of creativity without overpowering the space.
Also, consider combining wallpaper with painted walls, wainscoting, or paneling for a balanced and unique effect.
Never make your final decision based on how wallpaper looks online or in a showroom. Order samples and tape them to your wall. Check how the wallpaper looks at different times of the day—sunlight, shade, and artificial lighting all affect color perception.
At Jidar, we provide our clients with curated samples, so you can test how each wallpaper interacts with your furniture, lighting, and flooring before committing.
Wallpapering is an art. Even the best wallpaper can look messy if applied poorly. Unless you have experience, it’s best to leave installation to a professional. Jidar offers expert installation services to ensure every seam is flawless and every pattern aligns perfectly.
At Jidar, we believe your home should reflect your unique style, and wallpaper is one of the most personal ways to express it. Whether you’re going for timeless elegance, modern minimalism, or bold creativity, the perfect wallpaper is out there—and we’ll help you find it.
Modern wallpapers are much easier to remove than older versions. At Jidar, we use high-quality brands that offer strippable or peelable options, which come off without damaging the wall.
Our team will measure your space and calculate exactly how many rolls you need based on the pattern repeat, wall height, and room size. This helps prevent waste and ensures seamless pattern matching.
Yes! At Jidar, we work with exclusive suppliers and artists to create bespoke wallpaper designs tailored to your vision. Whether it’s a personalized mural or a custom colorway, we bring your ideas to life.
Absolutely. Using different wallpapers allows you to give each room its own personality while maintaining harmony across your home. We’ll help you balance variety with consistency in style and tone.
We look forward to working with you and creating a stunning home that you and your family will love for years to come!
