You might not think of Holloways as the first place to go for wallpaper, but we’ve recently expanded our range and our interior designers nearly always suggest a wallpaper to give a home a truly individual feel. 

Wall Art

Many wallpapers are now available by the metre so you can even use it as wall art. A benefit of this means you don’t have to commit to papering the entire room, yet still give it some character. Even papering the inside of a cabinet ,or the back of a dresser, is really effective. There are so many beautiful, unusual and quirky designs to choose from, and we have many collections to show you including Thibaut, Cole & Son, Linwood, Jane Churchill and Harlequin to name a few. 

Accent Walls

Having an accent wall and just decorating an alcove or chimney breast can add interest to a room without being overpowering. Choosing a nature-inspired print can work really well. These tend to be soft enough on the eye, yet still maintain an interesting design. 

Small scale prints

If large and bold prints are not your thing, try a wallpaper with a small scale print. It will feel calmer and easier to live with on a daily basis. Rooms with high ceilings and lots of space tend to work best with larger prints. 

Panel It

If you love eclectic and contemporary prints, incorporate wallpaper into the paneling around a room. Then it won't feel too overbearing and will really give it a truly unique feel.
