Q: Is it wrong to use wallcoverings throughout a house?
A: Yes and No. It is almost always wrong to use patterned wallcoverings in every room. Instead a home that is tastefully decorated will combine paint, paint techniques (faux finish) and wallcoverings. However, not all wallcoverings are patterned. Instead there are wallcoverings that mimic paint and others that mimic faux finishes. These are especially good to use when your walls are not in good enough shape to be simply painted or you do not want a faux finish which is usually difficult to remove or repair. It is then more desirable to use these types of wallcoverings along with an occasional dramatically patterned wallcovering.
Q: Is it wrong to use a large pattern in a small room, such as a bathroom?
A: Actually, good design often includes an element of surprise – something unexpected. A large pattern in a small room is a welcome surprise and highly effective. Just be certain that your wall can accommodate one full repeat of the design.
Q: Will a dark color make my room appear smaller?
A: Most often yes. However, it is not always desirable to visually expand the space within a room. Sometimes larger rooms need a darker color to make them appear more comfortable and cozy. Sometimes when a room is furnished with dark woods and fabrics, darker colors on the wall will actually make these furnishing appear to recede into the walls and visually expand the space.
