Many people prefer the traditional way of choosing and buying wallpaper – in a building materials store. Often this process stretches on for a long time and as a result does not bring joy. You wander between windows with wallpaper, you look at hundreds of options, you consult with a consultant, but you still can’t choose. Your eyes are so dazzled. Or you don’t know what you really want. In addition, the nuances of choosing wall coverings you don’t know at all. From this even more doubts: whether they will fit in the bedroom, whether they are easy to glue, how to care for them, and so on.
So today we are going to analyze what is important to pay attention to when you buy wallpaper in a store. This method, of course, has a number of advantages: you can look at the color of canvases in person, to the touch to assess their texture. But all this will be a trifle, if you do not take into account other nuances.
Tip #1. Decide on the color scheme in advance.
If you do not do this, you can simply get lost among the diverse assortment of stores. It will be enough to decide what shades are necessary for your room: light, dark, pastel, bright and so on. To do this, you can look at the variants of ready-made solutions on the Internet. In our stores, all the consultants help you to choose a color according to the rules of the color wheel, so if you have doubts, bring to the store a photo of the room with furniture and decorations.
Tip #2. Choice of material.
Here, too, it is important to decide what will suit you better – paper, fleece or vinyl wallpaper. It will be easier to make a choice, knowing the characteristics and features of all types of wallpaper.
When choosing the type of material, take into account the purpose of the room in which the repair will be made. If it is a kitchen, for example, it is best to use vinyl wallpaper.
Tip #3. Pay attention to the manufacturer.
The assortment of wallpaper stores consists of products from different factories: both domestic and foreign. But unfortunately, not all manufacturers are willing to offer a quality product. Choose proven manufacturers.
Tip #4. Decide on the number of rolls.
It is best to do at home in a relaxed atmosphere. Take into account that the wallpaper with a fitting need more.
Tip #5. Look at the batch of wallpaper.
It should be the same on all the rolls. Otherwise the shade may be different.
Tip #6. Look at the integrity of the package.
It can happen that the edges of the wallpaper are frayed, loose, and torn. If rolls are not transported or stored properly, they get jammed, get dirty and can even get wet from dampness.
Tip #7. Pay attention to the light level in the store.
In artificial light or a poorly lit room, the color can be distorted. It happens that in the store one shade of wallpaper, and at home glued – quite different.
Following these simple tips, the choice of wallpaper in the store will go faster and more effectively.
