How To Coordinate Wallpaper And Paint

Consider Lighting

Before you bring our expert team of painters in to paint your home, consider your space and how much light each room receives.

Rooms with natural light can get away with darker wallpapers and paint colors, while rooms with less natural light will benefit from a lighter color to make the room feel spacious and welcoming.

Neutral Tones

Using a neutral paint shade means avoiding the headache of matching paint colors to wallpaper designs. Whites, tans and grays are great options that mix well with exciting wallpapers.

With this design technique, wallpaper becomes the focal point of the room. If you want to make a statement, choosing the perfect wallpaper is essential!

Match Your Paint To An Accent Color

Take an accent color from your wallpaper to become the remainder of the room’s paint color! It’s a fantastic way to turn the room into a trendy space. If you use a dark color, the overall look will be dramatic and elegant. A lighter color will make the room cheerful, cute and inviting. Your eye for detail will really make an impact with this matching technique.

Floral Paper And Pastels

Florals are timeless, and the options range from antique and classic to vibrant and tropical designs. Pairing floral wallpaper with a soft pastel paint color elevates the elegance and class of the room.

Similarly, a subtle wallpaper paired with a soft white or light pink really adds to the elegance of your space. If you want to transform your living room or bedroom into a calm space, pastels and light shades are the best ways to create a sense of peace.

Mix Color And Pattern

The opportunities to mix and match wallpaper and paint are endless. The key is to choose interesting textures and patterns that create a sense of movement in the room. You don’t want the wallpaper and paint to be the same color: break up the space with wallpaper in one corner and a statement color in another.

Design experts suggest pairing neutral taupe and beiges with bold colors like red, yellow, navy blue, or teal. Not sure what paint color to pick?
