Picking the perfect Bedroom Wallpaper
Look up ‘bedroom wallpapers’ on Google and you’ll find a plethora of options to choose from, and while each one may seem as appealing as the next, it makes sense to have a few key tips in mind before you finalize on the one that you need for your bedroom walls.
- Look around your bedroom and note down its predominant style- the colour, the furniture, the accessories and everything else.
- Think of how you would want to re-do your space. Do you want to keep it simple and clean, or are you looking for something more elegant and contemporary? Note that down.
- If you have some particular colours in mind, note them down too.
- If you’ve got a bedroom with plain white walls, there’s actually a lot you can experiment with. However, as tempted as you might be to pick brighter and fresher colours, it is best to stick to pastel, cooler colours for your bedroom. The idea is to make your bedroom seem like a place of comfort and relaxation, and that may be a bit difficult if you’ve got bright orange and red popping out to you in the face as you enter the room- isn’t it?
- Some studies have shown that having the colour blue in your bedroom can help induce sleep- which makes it another great colour choice to consider.
- Still confused about what to settle down for? Pick delicate lines, simple textures, grainy patterns and earthy finish wallpapers- you can’t go wrong with them. Just keep in mind to pick something that would complement the style of your room, and not make it seem out of place.

Putting it Up: 101
Now that you’re done with possibly the most stressful part of it all- actually deciding which wallpaper you would want up on your bedroom walls, now’s the time to get it up! You can always hire a contractor to get things done, but if you’re looking to DIY it here’s some help.
Guess what? It isn’t as complicated and intimidating as it seems, and by the time you’re done, you’ll actually feel pretty accomplished- to say the least. So read on and get started!
- Make sure you’ve purchased enough wallpaper- measure the size of your walls and use your basic calculator to decide how many rolls of wallpaper you would need.
- Use a ready-made mixed wallpaper paste. You’ll find many variants but it is best to stick to buying the one with a resealable tube- this will help you avoid a lot of wastage as well.
- An applicator brush is another essential you need to get your hands on.
- Also, have a measuring tape and a pencil handy- to make markings for the guidelines.
- Grab a few clean cloths to smooth out the wallpaper on the wall while you’re doing the actual job.
- A pair of scissors and a wallpaper trimming knife are two other must-haves to grab!
Once you’re done with grabbing all of these, move on to actually putting up the perfect bedroom wallpaper – here’s how to do it.
- Remove all nails, dirt and any other imperfections from your wall and ensure that you have a smooth surface to work on. Get started with a corner that’s relatively easy and clean, or the one that is going to be hidden by furniture, so that even if you don’t get it done as cleanly, it won’t be much of a problem.
- Unroll the wallpaper, mark the areas where it needs to be cut- if it needs to be, and then start applying glue to the wall- just one single generous coating should work fine.
- Once you’ve applied the strip of wallpaper on top of it, smooth it down with a clean cloth. Use soft strokes to remove any excess glue from the edges. If you’ve got excess wallpaper around the edges of anything, use a ruler to push the wallpaper into the crevice, and cut it using a pair of scissors or a cutting knife.
That’s it! Your perfect bedroom wallpaper is UP! Paste, breathe, repeat and you’re sorted! Now you know how to choose the perfect bedroom wallpaper for your room and how to put it up. Time to get planning!
