The wonder of wallpaper
While fabric may lay the foundation of your living space
décor scheme, wallpaper will always offer the quickest
and easiest way to make an instant impact.
As Lou Harvey reveals, “Wallpaper is a quick and
easy solution for beautifying the home. It can create
depth and warmth and make a bold statement in a
space. A fun pattern or unexpected motif can liven up a
space in an instant.”

But, Lou Harvey cautions,
“Wallpaper is much more a long-term
style option than paint, so picking
a bold print on wallpaper is a big
decision. I advise choosing colours of
the same intensity because different
patterns can work together if they are
the same hues.” Q
