After you have determined a color scheme for the room and selected an area rug, then you are in a better position to determine wall treatments. However, if you are happy with your current walls (possibly had them freshly painted recently), there may be no need to make any changes if the wall treatments will work within the decorating plan.
If you do want or need to change the walls, there are many different options when it comes to decorating walls including paint, wall coverings, fabric, tiles or wood. Some things you might want to take into consideration with determining wall treatments for the room: *What color walls will look best within the color scheme? After you have selected the color scheme for the room and determined thr flooring requirements and selected the area rug, you will then have a better idea of what color to chose for the walls. The color will need to compliment the other elements within the room. *Are there any defects in the walls that should be covered? If there are any defects in the walls, then wallpaper, wood or fabric might be the best choice. *Is it preferable to have a cozy feel or a spacious, airy feel in the room? If a room is to have a cozy feel, then darker and warmer colors will draw the room in while cool and pale colors will draw the room out if a more spacious look is desired. *Does the room need more texture? If so, fabric, wallpaper or tile can provide both tactile and visual texture while a faux finish can provide visual texture. *Is there any requirement or desire to have tiles on the walls? If you are decorating a kitchen or bathroom, there might be a desire to include tiles on the wall. *Would the style of the room warrant wood walls? The style you have chosen to decorate with will determine whether wood walls will work within the space. For example, in a colonial style room, wood wainscoting would look fabulous, while in a country style room, cedar wood paneling would look great. *Is a faux finish look desired? If a faux finish look is desired and will look good within the space and with the style of decorating, then you will need to determine what type of faux finishing technique to use. If you are decorating a Neo-Classical style living room, then a marble faux finish would look fabulous. If you are decorating a Southwestern style room, then a color washed faux finish would look great. *Are any moldings required to give the room a more elegant and finished look? Once again, the style chosen to decorate the room and any finishing touches that are needed will factor into whether any additional moldings should be added to the walls. Traditional style rooms would look great with additional crown, chair and case moldings. |
