Wallpaper - Inexpensive, Easy, Beautiful
Author: Barbara TobiaszIn this global economic crisis we are presently going through, it is nice to know that you can still beautify your surroundings on a limited budget. But don’t get me wrong. This does not mean that just because you did not spend a lot of money, your home has to look like it came from the bargain basement. There is one word that can change the overall look of your home for the better. That one word is wallpaper.
To make wallpaper extremely easy to understand, I’m going to go over Color Groups, Design Groups, Types, Materials and Features. By the time I’m finished you will be an expert on Wallpaper.
Okay, so here we go. When it comes to color groups, you have every shade imaginable. The following Color Groups represent the full spectrum of color shades for each color. The colors are blues, browns, greens, neutrals, oranges, purples, reds and yellows. You should be able to find the perfect shade of color you are looking for from the basic colors stated above.
So now we will take a look at the different Design Groups. In alphabetical order they are Accents and Accessories, American/Armed Forces, Animals and Insects, Art and Architecture, Cities/States/Countries, Clothing and Accessories, Fruits/Vegetables/Foods/Beverages, Furnishings and Household Items, Games and Recreation, Kids, Kitchens, Men, Music, Other (See for yourself), People, Plaids/Stripes/Faux and Natural Finishes, Plants and Flowers, Religious, Shapes, Space, Sports, Themes and Eras, and Vehicles.
If there are any Design Groups that you feel we left out, see ”Other” and I’m sure your category will be included there.
So now we’ve come to Type. Under the category of “Type” you have Accessory, Border, Border Mural, Fabric, Mural, and Wallpaper. Each of these types has a plethora of examples to choose from. They say that variety is the spice of life.
At this point we will go over the different materials these wallpapers are made from. You have a choice of Expand Vinyl, Fabric Backed Vinyl, Foil, Grass Cloth, Hand Print, Solid Vinyl, String, Vinyl, and Vinyl Coated. Each of these materials are pretty much self explanatory.
Features are important. You might make your final decision on what wallpaper you want with a heavy consideration on feature. Your choices on features are Peelable, Prepasted, Scrubbable, Strippable, and Washable. You can see how important this may be according to your situation.
By now you’re probably saying to yourself, “Wow! I did learn a lot about wallpaper in this article.” You certainly did learn that you a great deal of choices. You also know that you can put an entirely new look to your home for a very reasonable cost.
So go ahead. Research and explore your possibilities. See what will work. Make an educated decision. Your end result will be something that will make you feel proud and all who see your new wallpaper will compliment you on a job well done.
