7 creative ways to use Olenka wallpaper in your home

Renovating your house isn't always the easiest thing to do.  You are going to want it to be the true reflection of yourself and your personal sense of style. But equally, you want it to look stylish and well put together. To help you achieve your decorating goals, we have developed a range of statement wallcoverings available in a variety of colours. And the great thing about wallpaper is that it can be used in many different ways. To help you work out what works best for you, let's take a look at these 7 ways to use Olenka wallpaper at home.

1. Wallpaper a feature wall

One of the best ways to use our wallpaper is to create a feature wall. Although a rather obvious choice, wallpapering a feature wall is a super effective way to transform your room. This decorating method works extremely well in bedrooms and living rooms.

However, due to the bold nature of our wallpaper designs, they look best combined with more neutral tones on the other walls. That will ensure your feature wall draws the eye, making it the focal point of the room. Usually, it's a good idea to match wall paint colours with colours in the wallpaper design. By doing so, you're creating a coherent scheme that looks well-balanced.

2. Wallpaper your bathroom

Your bathroom is a great place to unleash your creativity. Just because it's one of the smallest spaces in your home doesn't mean you can't pack it full of charm and character. In fact, it makes it the ideal spot to do so. Also, your bathroom is a space in your home that everyone is likely to visit at some point, which means that you can show it off. And the great thing about using wallpaper in the bathroom is that you don't need a lot of it. So you can go for the wallpaper that would be outside your budget for a larger room. You just need to use water-resistant surfaces in the wet areas. The area around it is there for you to make a statement!

3. Wallpaper the space above wall panels, picture rails, and dado rails

Using wallpaper with wall panels is a great way to add a touch of colour and pattern to a room without being too overwhelming. Indeed, bold floral prints add a modern twist to this classic decor style. We love the idea of using our striking floral wallcoverings above painted wall panels, dado rails, and painting rails.  Just be sure to coordinate the colours of the two, to really bring them together. This fun idea works particularly well in living rooms and bedrooms.

4. Wallpaper inside wardrobe/display cabinet

And of course, wallpaper doesn't always have to be just on walls. We love the idea of using brightly coloured, patterned wallpaper inside wardrobes and display cabinets.

Unless you have glass doors, this print will be hidden away until you open the doors and remind yourself of just how bright and colourful the rest of your house is. It's also a very a clever way to use any leftover wallpaper in your home!

5. Wallpaper a chimney breast

Another variation of a feature wall is to use our floral wallpaper on the chimney breast. Our bold designs will create an eye-catching feature making your fireplace the focal point of the room. Moreover, this way of using wallpaper at home will give your room an instant wow factor.

6. Wallpaper cosy reading corner

A reading corner needs to feel cosy and inviting, and many people may think that they have to keep the colours muted. However, we don't agree. We think that a reading corner is a perfect place to add a touch of colour and pattern. Sure, it might match the exact place that your mind is taking you to when you read a book. But having the colour and texture around you is going to help you snuggle down and enjoy your book.

7. Wallpaper inside picture frame moulding

Another great way to use our floral wallpaper in your home is by framing it as artwork. This decorating hack will work beautifully in most homes. For maximum impact, wallpaper a large area of a wall and frame it with trim moulding. At the same time, framing a small area can be a great way of turning your home into a new space on a budget.ways to use wallpaper at home Milana Graphite Blue wallpaper.

Framed wallpaper panels are a clever way to introduce colour and pattern to a room scheme. It is also a great way to tie together colours in your space to create a coherent scheme. When framing our statement wallpaper, make sure to choose designs and colours that work well with your existing room scheme. And if you are starting your room design with wallpaper panels, make sure to use the wallpaper colours in accessories, wall paints, or furniture.
