Mid century patterns are bold, geometric, have sensuous curves, and attribute whimsical themes to a home. Go the extra mile with coordination and choose wallpaper that is the inverse of your floor pattern, as seen here.

Ant chairs are another icon of the era. The back and the seat of the chair are connected as one piece of wood, and the unique tapered back and distinctive tripod legs characterise the design.

If you're wondering how to choose wallpaper, then the first step as looking at the type and material you need and want. Countless offers lie before you as there are many prints and colors in stock.

You couldn't find as much prints in the past as you could today. Now there is a impressive number of textural, linen, metallic, vinyl and silk types.

Instead of paint, why not use wallpaper to create a colorful accent wall in your bedroom? Most often, the wall at the head of the bed is chosen for the honor, but you can spotlight a second wall as well, or choose the wall most in need of a splash of interest.

If your room is small, choose wallpaper with a limited palette, like the gold-and-white paper shown here. If your room is dark, pick wallpaper with a dark background – despite common misconception, dark walls work best in a dark room.
