Does rain make us wish for wallpaper?

wallpaper store Glasgow sees upturn because of the weather

Escape from the rain with a book and a cuppa

Oh what weather! There’s nothing quite like Glasgow in the rain, but surely enough is enough.

When it’s raining outside are we more inclined to think ‘what can we do with our insides?’  Many of our customers seem to think so because we are certainly experiencing an upturn in the amounts of wallpaper enquiries and sales.

More and more of our customers are now opting for all the walls in the room to be papered instead of the tried and tested one feature wallpapered wall and the others painted.

We have many books available with collections enabling you to combine different patterns from the same colour pallette.  Come in, remember you can borrow a wallpaper book from our collection and examine it in your own room in both daylight and lamplight.

Be bold with strong patterns

Bold in a calming sort of way

Who wants rooms that are boring and predictable?

Consider introducing a bold pattern to add a focal point and depth into your room.

No need to worry about the pattern being overwhelming, you can balance your space by keeping other items fairly neutral.

Pattern doesn’t have to be in-your-face.

Using a bold pattern in a soft colour, as is shown above, can bring a sense of calm to your room.  Pattern needn’t be reserved for large rooms only as pattern can be used in a small space to help pull a room together.

Reflect on your room scheme

Thought of using metallic wallpaper?

Reflective surfaces bring instant lift to any room.

Imagine the sun reflecting around your sitting room or adding drama to a dinner party with friends by having subtle candlelight bounce from foil or beaded wallpaper.

To avoid the Apollo 13 look introduce soft flower patterns or colours on a foil background.
