Interiors: Add more character to your home with wallpaper

Chennai

Having spent the last six years furnishing multiple homes, the founders Amrita Thomas Modi (Architect & Interior Designer)  & Arjun Thomas (Product Specialist), realized that while finding a good couch was challenging enough, it was next to impossible to customize them further. Through www.createyourcouch.com - an online furniture venture, the client becomes a designer. With elegant designs and unique fabrics, the duo encourages you to create beautiful pieces of furniture for your home.

Dramatize your ceilings: When you add wallpaper to your ceilings, instead of your walls, and leave your walls bare, the room looks somehow larger in volume and height. Apart from the visual trickery it adds an element of glamour. Use it in your foyer so guests get fascinated the moment they enter. Opt for textured or metallic wallpapers as they complement any kind of furniture in your foyer. You could also use it in your dining room ceiling with a beautiful chandelier over your table!

Transform your cabinets and consoles: We all have an old console table or cabinet which look very drab. Wallpaper the panels on the drawers, if it’s a traditional piece. Or completely cover the whole piece if its modern. Be careful while you choose your wallpaper, if its geometric or floral make sure the patterns are not too big.

Wallpaper Art: A smart way to decorate your walls is to simply frame large panels of wallpaper. If you frame two or three panels and place them side by side it really looks fabulous and also shows some continuity.  You can incorporate this in formal areas of your home by selecting intricate patterned wallpapers. Use some interesting frames, to get the highlight your new artwork.

Stairway to Style:  TIf you have a plain staircase and you want to add an element of funk to it, then wallpaper the risers of the staircase! If it’s a staircase in a quaint café use bright geometrics or florals, if it in a home use textured or metallic wallpapers. So be smart in your choice of wallpaper and you will be happy with your very cool new staircase!

Creative Kitchens: Replace your kitchen dado with wallpaper. This concept would work only if you have kitchens with a wood finish or a kitchen with neutral color cabinets. You need to opt for waterproof wallpapers, which are generally vinyl wallpapers. Choose geometrics or textured wallpapers as safe options.
