Interior decorators in Melbourne have long made use of faux finishes and different effects achieved with paint in the past, but in recent years a new trend has emerged. In many of the trendy cafes and boutiques in neighbourhoods such as Fitzroy, wallpaper is being used on walls instead of paint, or as a compliment to the paint. For a more decorative look, wallpaper Melbourne can be a great way to make an ordinary room look more personalized and trendy. This can instantly rejuvenate an otherwise dull room and bring a whole new life to it. Some of the top trends in wallpaper Melbourne include floral patterns, stripes, and more modern designs as well.

Some of the most popular looks at the moment in wallpaper Melbourne are natural designs, such as leafy bamboo, delicate flowers, or muted colours. These papers can be textured to give a more architectural look to the room, making it instantly modern and fresh. Many of these patterns come directly from nature, including stones as well as the leaves and flowers mentioned above. Some papers copy wood grain, metallics or the look of woven grass for an interesting, natural, and textured feel.

At the high end of the wallpaper Melbourne spectrum, it's possible to hire a designer to create a hand painted wallpaper specifically for your decorative purposes. Some tips for decorating include mixing patterns, for a more varied and individualized look, adding a border, and papering the entire room. It can pay off to be bold with your wallpaper look, so there is no need to only put up wallpaper in one corner of the room when you can achieve a more stunning look. While it's possible to hang up the paper yourself, many will choose to hire a professional service to do this.

It's recommended to hire a professional to put up your wallpaper Melbourne if you are going to be putting it in rooms with a great deal of furniture or small spaces. It can also be tricky to put up the paper on your own if you choose a pattern such as grass cloth or foil, which need to line up perfectly to look right. When getting started, either on your own or with the help of a professional decorator, you will want to have the correct dimensions of your room, so that you can be prepared to place your custom order or purchase the correct amount of paper.
