Do I need different wallpaper for each room in my house?

The main function of wallpaper is to beautify the room itself, beside the furniture, lighting, and other ornaments. And it also can cloak your imperfect wall, such as crack or wavy textured wall.

There are plenty of wallpaper’s design and motif available for you to choose. But you should remember that each room needs different type of wallpaper. Why?

Bathroom and Kitchen have the highest humidity of all other rooms. So, we need durable and scrubbable wallpaper. Vinyl coated paper and paper backed vinyl/solid vinyl are perfect for these room since they resist moisture and are stain and grease resistant. Beside that, it’s easy to clean and peels off easily from the wall.

Coated Fabric has a fabric substrate coated with liquid vinyl or acrylic. The decorative layer is printed on this coating. This wallpaper is best for use in low-humidity areas, like bedroom or any other living areas away from water source. Embossed papers like Analgylpta and Lyncresta make great borders and ceiling papers.

As you can see, different areas of the home require different types of wallpaper.

To keep wallpaper clean, you need to vacuum it regularly, you may use a broom wrapped with a soft cotton or a vacuum cleaner with soft brush. If your wallpaper is washable (most wallpapers are washable), you should clean it with mild soapy water and a sponge. Then rinse with a sponge of cool water and pat the wall dry with a clean, dry cotton or terrycloth towel to remove any moisture from the paper.

For fabric wallpaper, you need to test it to see if the fabric will stain when it is wet. Or you may use a commercial wallpaper cleaner that is safe for these kind of wallpapers.
Still, it is much better to vacuum it regularly to clean any dust and dirt that’s accumulated.

Bedroom in White



White is my color! Bags, shoes, shirt, dress or any accessories, you name it! But since I am not careful enough to maintain its whiteness, or even immediately clean a little spot here and there.. so I choose darker color for my daily life. Surely 'white' needs special care and attention.
Hmm..what if we apply white in bedroom?

Modern Kitchen Design with contemporer touch

In modern kitchen design, mostly they use clean/metalic surface such as stainless steel, copper, or chrome as table top or counter top. Overall, they are bold, translucent, and frameless.
The touch of this material immediately can make you feel modern. For me, it makes me feel like in spaceship, very cool, huh? (LOL). Look at these pictures!

We can soften the modern look by applying woods on the cabinet and floor, it still looks modern, though!
