Decorating with Wallpaper

At House of Hackney, we’ve always believed that your home is your sanctuary. We’re here to reassure you that transforming any space into your own personal oasis is easier than you might think.

Our sustainable wallpaper is designed for each and every room in the home. We see it as an opportunity to completely transform any space; imbuing it with beauty and your personality. Follow these simple steps to create your very own wonder walls.

MEET YOUR MUSE

When it’s time to pick your print, we encourage you to start with heart. Select the design that sparks an emotional response - after all, you’ll be looking at it every day! In our House, we always say ‘live with what you love’.

IDENTIFY YOUR SPACE

Which room would you like to wallpaper? Consider the size and function of the space, as well as the desired mood you are looking to conjure. For example, while bold, psychedelic designs work well in the living room, prints that are a little more serene - think nature-inspired motifs in tranquil colour palettes - are best for the bedroom and bathroom.

BE INSPIRED

Gravitating towards a particular print style? Now immerse yourself in inspiration. See how others have interpreted your chosen design in their own homes. Simply visit our inspiration gallery to see our prints in action. From bedrooms filled with flourishing florals, to fantasy-filled hallways, each and every image is sure to ignite your imagination.

LET THERE BE LIGHT

It’s important to consider the light levels and orientation of your chosen room, as this will help determine your captivating colour palette. Top tip: Avoid introducing too many cooler hues into a north-facing room, opt for warmer tones to soften the light and elevate the ambience.

TURN BACK TIME

When coating a traditional home’s walls with wonder we encourage you to be inspired by its unique attributes. Immerse yourself in the rich past of your own personal sanctuary by referencing it in your chosen print. For example, our iconic William Morris inspired ‘ARTEMIS’ would bloom to new heights in an Arts & Crafts home.

HARMONIZE COLOUR HUES

If layering a number of prints throughout your scheme, remember it’s all about balance. Stick to a cohesive colour palette, introducing shades of paint that complement your chosen wallpaper design to ensure perfect harmony.

PULL IT TOGETHER

If your scheme is feeling a little fragmented, choose a print that will help pull it all together. Go wild and use an animal print as a neutral. Top tip: Integrate WILDCARD into your print palette; the ‘Butterscotch’ shade will work with almost any colour. The organic repeat in the print’s pattern will also complement everything from geometric stripes to painterly florals.

LAYER FANTASTICAL FLAIR

Though you’re at the start of your wallpaper journey, it’s important to consider those finishing touches. Master the art of layering. Style your wallpaper with paintings and photographs that project your personality, don’t be afraid to hang those statement pieces that really anchor the room.

FOLLOW YOUR FANTASY

Be bold and brave. Get creative, especially in those smaller, more hidden spaces where you can really experiment. Think inside the box, literally. Coat your cupboards, cover your closet, or even line your drawers to create charming accents of the unexpected.

START WITH ART

Art can be the perfect muse to inspire a room’s decoration. Have a favourite piece? What do you love about it? The colours, the tones, the style? Use this as a starting point when looking for your wallpaper and soon you’ll be living in your very own wonderland of print.

Now you’ve picked your print, it's time to order your wallpaper sample. Place your sample on the wall and see your print in its desired location. Top tip: Leave it up throughout the day to see its luxurious finish in all lights.

Pick your Print

Once you’ve seen your sample, you can now get creative with colour. Keep things complementary and choose a paint colour that also features in your wallpaper. Or make a statement and pair with a contrasting colour palette.
