• Large patterns work better for larger walls because they tend to shrink the space.
•  Larger patterns and dark colors also make a room look more cozy and intimate.
• Stripes are tricky to work with. Many rooms are not completely square and the stripes may not line up perfectly with your door and window trim. Before you decide on striped wallpaper determine if your room is square.
• Rooms that get little light look better with warm tones instead of cool.
• When selecting wallpaper for a child's room, pick one that isn't going to be dated or babyish in the near future.
• Make sure the paper goes with the ceiling or wall trim. You may want to consider painting the ceiling and trim before you wallpaper.

Buying Wallpaper:

I do not recommending buying from an online store as you may get rolls that do not match. However, shopping on line will give you a good idea of prices and varieties as they have huge inventory. Although your local wallpaper store may have limited stock they usually can get what you want within a few days and there is no question as to the quality of what you are buying.
