This week we added a new mural to our website. This was called Pink Flower mural. As seen below. We had designed this pattern for a customer and loved it so much we decided to put it up as a listing. What is the difference between a mural and a pattern? A mural tends to be a whole image that comes together over a whole wall. Whereas a pattern is a smaller print that repeats over and over and can be placed over many walls compared to a mural that will only be on one wall. 

Murals are a very big statement piece. They can make a massive difference to a room, whether it is in a work environment or at home. You can really get across how you want the room to feel using them. If you have an idea in mind, send us an email and we will see what we can do to achieve this idea. Murals can range from photographs to illustrations. We can even print a design you make yourself if you have the correct file.

Our most frequently asked questions is can you use our wallpaper as a splash back? Just a little disclaimer. All companies wallpapers are different. You may be able to use our wallpaper in certain circumstances that you would not be able to use it with other wallpapers. Read their wallpaper information and get in contact with them to double check. We would always much rather the customer make sure our product is right for them. We are happy to answer any questions you have.

Our wallpaper will work behind a basin splash back in a bathroom as long as the wallpaper has our waterproofing coat applied. You can ask us for a quote for waterproofing. Our wallpaper will not work over tilled splashbacks as dust and water can get up into the gap left from the grouting and damage the adhesive. We can fit the wallpaper  within each tile. You will still see the grouting in the situation. 

Kitchens are a little more complicated then Bathrooms. Our wallpaper is okay to use with as a splashback for a kitchen sink and behind the bench when it has the waterproofing coat. However, if you want to use our wallpaper above a stove top or near heat we would recommend that you put a glass screen protector over top of the wallpaper. Our wallpaper is not made to handle direct heat. 

What is Shabby Chic? It’s a style that shows the interior to be pleasingly old and slightly worn. The interior will look worn and rough around the edges but still have an understated class. Together combining the beautiful look that is shabby chic.

An exposed brick look brings the shabby chic look to any kitchen or lounge. The white brick fits perfectly into a shabby chic style because the rough texture brings out the shabby but with the white painted look over top of the bricks bring in a classy look. Our Concert 1 wallpaper is also a great wallpaper to create the shabby chic style in your home. With the worn look of the white with the grey concert coming through really nail the shabby chic look.

Finish off the look with some antique furniture or even buying new, as lots of places have furniture that has a worn-in look to them. This will bring the room together. As long as you remember to balance worn and classy look you will have the perfect shabby chic style in your home.

When you think masculine and sophisticated you think dark colours. But this is where you have to be careful. You do not want to make your bedroom too dark as you still want it to be warm and inviting. This is why a feature wall is great. It shows that you have put thought into the room without making it too overwhelming or dark. By having all the other walls in a lighter coloured paint it allows the feature wall to stand out and bring that masculinity to the room.

If you keep the surrounding walls light and add touches of warm wood into the room throughout the furniture it will lift the room up well still keeping the sophisticated look you want. You can then go for a middle ground with the bedspread by adding element of the darker colour in the feature wallpaper along with elements of lighter colours coming from the furniture. This will bring the room altogether to create a sophisticated cool, masculine bedroom.

Blue is a brilliant colour. By adding touches of blue throughout your home creates a welcoming  atmosphere. Blue is a colour that is known to provoke calmness and serenity. Two moods we all desired to feel in our home. 

Because there is such a rich variety of blue hues to pick from you can work it into any style you want to achieve in your home. You can chose to just use an accent wall themed in blue or wrap your whole room in blue. It is a colour you can never have too much of. Not to mention subtle blue tones are a lot more exciting then your typical neutrals and greys. It will show people your creativities interior flair and make your home an inspiration to others.  

Blue adds a rich and welcoming feel into your home. If you would like to see one of our patterns in a blue please send us a message. We would be more then happy to make a digital mock up for you to see.
