How to choose a wall paper

Hey,


As we have already explained to you, as to, why should you use wallpapers, the next question which would automatically come to your mind is, how to chose a wallpaper. Well, its a very fair question to ask.


See, choosing a wallpaper is a very difficult task. I am sure there are lot of experts who would agree with me that even in the best of times, it becomes difficult sometimes for an interior designer as well to chose the right wall paper for a particular place. We are not by any means saying that we are experts and we can never go wrong in choosing the right paper. What we are saying is that on the basis of our knowledge, our experience, and of course our research(primary and secondary data), in this field, we are sharing few ideas which might help you to chose the right wallpaper for your office or your house. So, here goes some of our ideas:-


1) Observe the Fashion:-  In the 1970's era, when lot of chinese wallpapers were in the market, people would go in for very loud designs. Then the trend changed and people preferred less and elegant designs. Now in 2000's era, fashion again has changed and now we are back again with big damasks, softened metallics, textures with animal skins etc.


2) Always chose what you like:- Its your home, so don't listen to what your vendor or your neighbor is saying. Since you are the one who would be staying in that house, so always chose what you like. There is a saying which goes like this " Always listen to everyone but do what your heart says". This saying holds true specially while chosing a wall paper.


3) Ask for samples:- If you like a particular design, ask for the sample of the same from your vendor. Usually, it is very difficult to get a large sample, but just ask, your vendor might be able to provide you the same.


4) Avoid the tendency to order immediately:- I have seen lot of people who have a tendency to order immediately once they like a particular design. This tendency doesnot seem to work as far as selecting a wallpaper is concerned. Once you like a particular design , try to live with that design for a couple of days. Try to imagine your walls with that wallpaper and whether that design works well with other room's walls. Once you feel that everything is in symmetry, go for it then.


5) Durability:- While choosing a paper, one should always consider durability of the wallpapers. There are 2 types of wallpapers. One type of wallpapers are those which have a paper backing and the others are those which have a fabric backing. Paper backed wallpapers are not washable, are only spongable but fabric backed are always washable and are much more durable than paper backed but you will not get many designs in a fabric backed compared to a paper backed.


6) Play:- Walls don’t have to be completely covered, and borders can go places other than the top of the wall. Try hanging borders a foot from the ceiling, or around a door. Mix patterns. Consider papering the ceiling, too.


7) Don’t know where to begin? The best rooms to paper are rooms without soft furnishings. Dining rooms, bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms are great places to start.
8) It’s not forever:- Gone are the days when it was easier to take out the wall than remove old wallpaper. Today’s wallpaper is easy to apply and remove. If you don’t like what you picked in a few years, no big deal.

We have tried our level best to try to increase your knowledge about chosing a wallpaper. However in case you still are confused, just give us a call, we will ourselves come with the samples, to help you chose better.

Ohhh Wallpaper .....My Wallpaper

Hey,


Now as promised we will continuously be adding articles and materials to ensure that you have a decent amount of knowledge about decorating your home's or for that matter your office's interiors.


So, today we will be discussing about wallpapers. Well apart from it being our bread and butter, I must say selling wallpapers is our passion as well. One of our close architects once said to us"  When you people give a presentation on floorings or blinds or carpets for that matter, I don't see the passion which you always keep talking about, but when you give a presentation on wallpapers I see a glitter in your eyes, and then I can relate to the passion which you people always keep blabbing about. Well we will take it as a compliment, except ofcourse, that blabbing part.


Luxurious, isn't it

 Now let us understand what is a wallpaper...


Well in simple terms it is a substitute of a paint. Now let me make things a bit complicated and go into intricacies and benefits of wallpapers:-


Gone are the days when paint was considered as one of the most popular wall treatment due to the fact that it is widely available and relatively cheap as well. But today people are looking for something by which they can highlight their walls. If you want to give your home a luxurious look then a wise man would never go for a paint, but he would always prefer a wall paper. 


Paint like that if you can



We are not by any means saying that wallpapers are cheap. One can say that in the short run they are relatively expensive than paints but in the long run they are always a better option because of their durability.


I personally am a fan of wallpaper simply because of the myriad choices available to bring out character and warmth in a living space. It is much more widely available and implemented in modern homes these days and if you really have been thinking about the ’should-I’ or ’should-I-not’ for doing your place up with wallpaper, I’m suggesting you lean towards trying it out – if you’re not adventurous, try it out on a small piece of wall as a feature instead.


Just a wallpaper not any animal fur





Here is a list of advantages of wallpapering a living space:-


1) Cost Effective
2) Easy to install and remove.
3) Gives individuality to your walls.
4) Millions of choices available with different designs.
5) Safe for the kids as these are eco friendly.
6) No poisonous fumes.

What is Home Life Furnishing

Hey All,

This is the first time we have  created a blog so please don't expect us to be 100 percent perfect in our writing. So without wasting much of your time, let us get straight to the point.

Now, you would be asking as to why there is a need to create a blog. As you all must be knowing that Home Life Furnishing is a company which we have started some time back, so the idea of creating a blog is to tell all of you as to what Home Life Furnishing is all about.

As the name "Furnishings" would suggest, its all about furnishings(be it wallpapers, wooden floorings, carpets, carpet tiles, blinds and lot more....). And as the name "Home Life" would suggest its all about adding life to your home. Adding life does not mean that without these things there is no life at home. For us, home is a place where there is a closely knitted family(who is there with you in good as well as bad times). But each one of us also want our homes to be luxurious, comfortable, cozy and beautiful. That is where Home Life Furnishings come into the picture.

One thing we can make sure is that your home looks beautiful, elegant and cozy. And obviously we will also make sure that your home becomes your neighbors envy.

From now onwards we will constantly keep on adding new articles, new materials so that you can yourself add beauty to your home's interiors. Mind you we can never have the kind of knowledge which an architect or an interior designer would have. We have lot of respect for the kind of creative minds these people have and we respect them a lot. A good knowledgeable architect or an interior designer is someone who can make a small "jhopdi" look like a million dollar house.

But you all would agree that there are a lot of things in a house interiors on which we need some advice and generally we don't go to architects or interior designers because these are very small things. Obviously if you can afford an architect or an interior designer then our advice is hire them but for small issues, if you don't want to go to interior designers then you can simply mail us as to what advice you need and we will make sure to revert you asap.

We hope now you would know what Home Life Furnishing is all about. And just incase, you need wallpapers, floorings, blinds or carpets you can  mail us at homelifefurnishing@gmail.com or call us at 09999703531, 09810179660.
