Grey Weathered Metallic Wallpaper R6495

One important thing to consider when applying wallpaper is that you will need to line up your patterns for a seamless and continuous fit. In order to do so you will have to trim your wallpaper to perfectly match the pattern on the wall. This happens more so with bold patterned papers than with minimalist wallpaper patterns.

Like for an instance, above is Teal Metallic Weathered Cubes Wallpaper R6099 vs Grey Weathered Metallic Wallpaper R6495. The first pattern is a metallic wallpaper in a bold and saturated colours that form 3-dimensional cubes of bright, geometric wallpaper. While the second pattern is a faux effect wallpaper with brushed metallic coating in distressed and weathered effect. Either you go for a bold print pattern or you can keep it simple by adding some texture on the wall without necessarily adding a pattern, the choice is yours! Just make sure to select the right style that best fits your personality and your home.

Don't let your precious patterned papers go to waste. If you're looking to decorate your home on a friendly budget, choosing the right wallpaper patterns will definitely help you save heaping amounts of money and wallpaper.
