Predicting Custom Wallpaper Design Trends For 2017

Last year practically was the first full year of functioning for Walls And Murals.

Launched on 31^st August 2015, 2016 was practically the first complete year of working for us.

We were very sure about the success of our design range and our concepts right from the very beginning. After all the site was launched after almost two years of designing and development process. In this age of quick startups our approach was very traditional. Normally people launch the startups and then evolve and change as they receive feedbacks, but in our case we were very sure that unless you have the right product, it makes no sense to launch.

With a strong background in advertising, photography and graphic designing, the experience of our team has yielded rich dividends. Infact Walls And Murals is the only Custom Wallpaper and Wall Murals website where the content is original and not just a repackaging of stock library images.

Whether you look on our BuddhaWallpaper or Modern Wallpaper or Kids Room Wallpaper, you will find originality of ideas and brilliant artworks.

But the kind of response and feedback we have received from visitors and customers is simply amazing. The year was full of surprises for our design team. The demand for our Custom Wallpaper For Walls has increased manifold in the past twelve months. While initially we were focusing mainly on the residential segment and the home owners, the commercial demand for Custom Wallpaper Printing has taken us by surprise.

Some of the most amazing projects we completed in the last year involved: Custom Wallpaper Printing For Boutique Hotels, Educational Wallpapers For Kids Playschools and Wallpapers For Tour and Travel Agencies.

Apart from customized commercial projects, the top three best sellers in our collections in different categories were:

1.      Zen Wallpaper and Buddha Wallpaper For Walls was a favorite with almost every home owner and interior designer. Buddha is a universal symbol of peace and tranquility and the demand for Buddha in blessing postures was strong throughout the year.

2.      3D Wallpaper is a unique category, which continues to see strong demand throughout the year. Floral Wallpaper in 3D Wallpaper segment is also expected to grow stronger in this year.

3.      Kids adore wallpaper with jungle animals and animals having fun. This KidsRoom Wallpaper with cartoon characters continues to see a strong uptrend.

Our Design Team is sure that Buddha Wallpaper, 3D Wallpaper and Kids Room Wallpaper are going to be the 3 bestsellerseries in Custom Wallpaper Printing for the current year.

The targets, work load, late night shifts, responsibilities, lack of sleep and here starts a long list leading all the way to anxiety. People start getting away from living a happy life to just moving on with the life. Social circle, family, friends all are just names in the contact lists, which are hardly being contacted because everyone in running in a race which has no finish line. Yes, I agree that one needs to work and earn for livelihood but not on the cost of your health and happiness.

People state that even after going back home from work they don’t feel relaxed neither by being comfy on their couch and watching TV nor by sleeping, yet something related to their work goes on in mind. Here are five brilliant ideas that you can apply in your interior décor to help you de-stress. After all my friend getting relaxed or de-stress is all about diverting your mind and thoughts from the activities that are causing stress.

So, here are five interior decor tips that will help you de-stress and enjoy a happy, peaceful life.

1. De-clutter, organize and add some art effects to create a serene environment
   Want to remove negativity or stressful vibes of your home? Spot the most undesirable places and clutter in your home such as filthy corners of bathroom or some unnoticed areas. De-clutter them and replace them with some greenery or artistic items. Interior of your home matters for peace and serenity. Placing some house plants and flowers can help in feeling fresh and oxygenated. You can place Aloe Vera, Golden Pothos (locally called as money plant), Snake plant or Bamboo palm in the corners and other suitable places of your home. They purify the air and help you breathe well and remain healthy. As the sun colors flowers, the art colors life; even the artful things like handmade pieces, sculptures, positive art paintings and other similar artifact will give you some alert and empowering your walls and makes you happy when you look at them. Messy, unorganized and cluttered space creates a lot of disturbance in the mind, even if you are not aware of it. Organizing your home and cleaning up your mess, helps to calm the mind and can be the first part of de-stressing your life.
   
2. By using subtle colors in your home. “Colors are the Smile of Nature.” To live a colorful life you can color your walls and get decor with light and bright colors. To bring true colors in real life, you need to bring home some amazing subtle color textures and patterns. Every color has its symbolism and effect on your mind; you just have to find out some astonishing colors which suit your personality and soothe your mind, body and soul. As simple is the color scheme, more stylish it looks. If you get to mix too many textures and patterns, it can get bit distracting. Incorporating calming pastel shades of beige, white, blue and green to your walls will visually help you de-stress and gets the soothing energy in your home.
   
3. Creating a sanctum in your bedroom Incomplete or restless sleep is one of the main reasons for the stress and anxiety in your life. Some people brag about their less hours sleep in offices, if you are one of them then don’t be proud of… There is nothing great about not being able to take a good sound sleep of seven to eight hours. It can be hard to keep your bedroom a perfect, peaceful sanctuary but it should be the place to feel relaxed after a busy day. Sticking to your right bedtime every night, it is necessary to have an inviting bed, soft pillows, comfortable mattress, light and warm blankets, and a calm color idea in your bedroom; it shouldn’t bring the extra anxiety when you get into your bedroom after a long day. There should be tranquility in your bedroom with a peaceful ambience. Even the fabrics used should be soft such as velvets and soft linens for giving you a calm touch.
   


4. Brightening your home with more lights Allow natural lights or sunlight to enter into your house removing all the dark spaces. Natural sunlight creates a good space of calm effect, also getting vitamin D to you. Sunlight is also beneficial to detoxify the atmosphere of your home.  When there is no scope of natural sunlight, you can use floor and table lamps. At night rather than using ceiling lights that cause mash up of light, these lamps create a calm low light without any harsh overhead lighting. It makes your home feel serene and creates a relaxing mood.
   
5. Devising a Hobby room/corner for relaxation. Are you able to exercise or devote time to some fun activity? If it’s a no, then you should definitely have a room or space in your house for some fun time or devote to your indoor hobbies. Whether it is reading, listening to music or some indoor game, just create a particular room or corner for it. Give some time to your hobby, leaving or shutting down your tech devices and gadgets. Here you can read your interests, play some fun games or spend time to listen some light soulful music which makes you feel refreshed. Where there is peace and meditation, there is neither stress nor suspicion. If not for any hobby, you can make a meditation room and spend some peaceful time either for religious or spiritual purpose for relaxation.
   

The interior design of home can be affected by the walls to a great extent, so the designers give advice to get some murals or wallpapers installed in your rooms to create a peaceful environment and creating a highlight area in your home. A Buddha Wallpaper can create serene environment, a peaceful Sunset in Nature Wallpaper can change the whole look of the room, a Flower Wallpaper in soothing colors can change the mood of the bedroom and a 3D Wallpaper For Walls can add a new dimension to any small room.

5 Home Decor Ideas To Make Your Home Look Great

There are some basic rules one must follow to create the right impact with home decor. To be truthful there is no written rule guide which has to be followed step by step to create great interiors, designers do it with years of experience, understanding human behavior and with their own perception of what will look good and what will not work.

As far as what will work and what will not is concerned, nobody knows you and your home better than yourself. If you have time and patience you can achieve results as good as any interior decorator can. There are still some basic tips or design ideas you can keep in mind while working on your home interiors.

1.      Create space around your furniture. You must resist from overstuffing your room with all that you can lay your hands on. Give your furniture some breathing space, this not only creates space for movement but at the same time highlights the pieces that are placed. For Ex.: It is not necessary to create maximum seating space in a leaving room, get an estimate of an average gathering you have and plan accordingly.

The furniture in the picture is looking great because it is not competing for attention.

           

2.      Pick the color of the walls in the end. Well this is exactly opposite of what most of us do.  We normally decide and finish painting our walls even before we have bought a single piece of furniture. Have you gone through the paint shade card, which offers you an endless choice in the color you can have for your walls. Why didn’t it cross your mind that you could have bought furniture and artefacts you desired and the color of wall could have been easily matched.

3.      Know the trick to place your furniture on a rug. There are three ways you can place furniture and the rug. It depends on the size of your room, size of the rug and the volume of furniture.

It can be place with all legs on the rug.

Legs just touching the rug or

The front legs only on the rug.

Try all of this yourself and see how it changes the look of the room.

4.      Display artworks as they do in art galleries. Art galleries and museums hang artwork so that  the center is exactly at the level of the human eye, i.e.  57 inches to 60 inches from the floor level. This creates the right kind of impact with the artwork. This rule can vary with the ceiling height, but remember that the decor has to be admired by humans and the display should be human centric and not structure centric.

5.      Create a highlight area in the room. A strong focal point is very essential in a room decor.  The focal point can be a fine art painting in the living room, an art piece on the dining table or the table itself.

Don’t try to create multiple focal points. This will create more chaos and clutter. The easiest and most cost effective way to create focal point in a room is to use Custom Wallpaper and Custom Wall Murals. A custom Floral Wallpaper or a 3D Wallpaper For Walls can create truly stunning effects. These are easy to install, diy products.

Don’t Fall For Traditional Floral Wallpaper Trap?

While decorating our home interiors, we are always focused on getting the best outcome in terms of designs, creativity and comfort. All of us put in our best efforts to create an exclusive decor. After all no one wants to have his or her bedroom look exactly like the neighbors or resembling close friends room.

We all desire to create exclusivity and seek something different. Whether it is the color scheme, or the furniture or the fabric/upholstery used or the curtains. We want the home interiors to reflect our refined tastes and personality.

In this quest for something different and exclusive, we are normally exploring the market or the website which have already been visited by so many of our friends. In fact it is on their recommendations that we visit those places.

In case you and your friend are doing your home interiors at the same time, I can assure you that in most of the cases everything you purchase or the concept you freeze upon was also explored by your friend. Most of the time when people buy furniture or furnishings around same time, they often end up buying things similar to what others have bought. Reason being, every one is looking for latest designs/concepts, visiting the same places and if the financial budgets are similar the products also end up being of the same trend.

What I am trying to say is :Where is the element of exclusivity ? or the wow factor.

The same is the case when we are looking to buy Wallpaper For Home. Floral Wallpaper For Walls is one over sought for segment of wallpaper. When we are doing interiors of a complete house, we normally have one room or one wall where we love to use Floral Wallcovering.

We normally end up seeing numerous wallpaper catalogues from traditional wallpaper dealers dealing in fixed size rolls. Same patterns, embossing, classical or modern floral backgrounds with glitter gold or silver…… in short I call it a “Traditional Floral Wallpaper Trap”.

When we spend months on planning and refurbishing the interiors, why the wallpaper comes in our mind at the last minute or why is it that we don’t think beyond the same old patterns and designs.

Why not be more creative and impress all our close friends with our personal refined expression of art?

With Custom Wallpaper Printing today we have innumerable design options in Floral Wallpaper For Walls, we can choose from illustrative patterns to watercolor or oil canvas painting effects or we can choose to print a photograph we have shot on one of our visits to the famous gardens or nature reserves.

The fact is that Custom Floral Wallpaper looks far more impressive and creative than a traditional fixed size roll wallpaper. It has more natural beauty, more aesthetic value and more life to it.

With Custom Wallpaper and Custom Wall Murals we have greater freedom to express our fine tastes and preferences, so why fall for a traditional floral wallpaper trap. Explore the world of Custom Wallpaper For Walls and Custom Wall Murals, you are definitely going to be impressed by the innumerable Modern Wallpaper design options available.
