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.
