When thoughts of redecorating your home are underway, the biggest question is this: what colour is going to go on your wall for the next few years?

But it doesn’t have to be a paint-staking choice to make. If you’re already taking steps to transform the entire landscape of your room, don’t just stick to convention. Go all out for that minimalist decor, or that bright pink colour you’ve been afraid of plastering on your wall for too long.

Here’s how you can achieve your dream room with these cool, non-tacky wallpapers that will serve as the perfect #OOTD backdrop.

 

1. Kick off your minimalist decor with wood-accented walls

If you’re looking for a sleek and modern room decor, cement walls are one of the coolest choices out there. Think grey or white furnishings to complement this wallpaper and you’ve got another option for a minimalist design.

4. Explore the world in the comfort of your bedroom

 

Scrolling through our jetsetter friends’ Instagram feeds gives us a tinge of FOMO, but there’s something you can do to combat the envy.

5. Get Zen from all 4 corners

 

Add some Zen to your life with these gorgeous tiled wallpapers with Asian influences and motifs. Even if you don’t cover all 4 walls with them, 1 or 2 is probably enough to create a calming aura in your home.

6. Bask in nature’s wonders

Soaking in nature in a concrete jungle is probably going to take a huge effort – you’d have to travel quite a distance just to hike up one of Singapore’s nature reserves. Why not cover your room with mountainous views of forests and clear skies as an alternative? These beautiful sceneries from Mother Nature are the perfect #OOTD backdrop – no filter required.

Millennial pink is the in colour these days. Sweet and pastel-toned, it’s a pretty background for your daily selfies. These wallpaper designs in muted pink hues are sweet but not tacky.

9. Go wild with animal prints

 

If you think animal prints are so last year, these will prove you wrong. The stark contrast of the pink flamingoes against the baby blue is a pretty design that you’d love to have on your notebook covers or phone homescreen.

10. Have your very own Scandi plant decor

Nordic designs always have a homely feel to them, with tons of wooden furniture and potted plants placed artfully all over the house. You can bring this aesthetic to your own home too – starting with the right wallpaper. The subtle pressed leaves pair well with clean Scandinavian design, which is a great starting point for your decor.

11. Embrace your inner hipster with splotchy art

 

Sometimes you get this odd feeling of wanting to try flinging paint against your walls – just for the fun of it. Or sometimes in the midst of painting your room, you’re seized with the sudden desire to mess it up and just leave the random splotches be.

If a single solid colour is too boring for the hipster in you, these splotchy wallpapers might do the trick.

Graffiti along the streets – even though illegal – will always have us riveted and wishing we could draw or paint like that too. Good news is, you can replicate this type of art in your own home with these wallpapers without having to resort to making your own.

13. Paisley your way through the house

 

Toss the plain jane shades aside – decorate your room in an unusual print this time around. These Persian-inspired prints are intricate and unique in design and colour.

Besides, paisley matches most kinds of furniture – it all depends on your colour scheme.

14. Keep it simple and cute with dots

 

The obsession with dots will never fade. Whether you go for single or multiple colours, they’ll add a dash of colour to plain backgrounds without coming off as garish.

BONUS: Brick and Stone Veneers

 

If you’ve always wanted a fireplace in sunny Singapore, go for brick and stone veneers to give your decor a more authentic look. Made from real raw materials of brick and stones, these 3D veneers easily convey a cosy rustic atmosphere.

While not wallpapers per se, these veneers are fashioned to look and feel like the real deal. Crafted in a lighter and thinner way for easy installation, these beautiful backdrops won’t eat into your flat’s space!

Wallpapers – a pain(t)less way to go

 

Staying with the same old paint job is old and honestly, boring. And wallpapers are an easy way to spice up your home decor – with loads of variety in prints and designs, not to mention colour.

Putting up wallpapers are a potentially sticky situation, but Wallhub will install them for you. Image credit: Wallhub

It makes sense in the long-run too: Wallpapers last for around 7-10 years, while your paint job will need touch-ups every few years. You’ll even get a 2-year warranty once you purchase their wallpaper, so if it starts peeling off prematurely, you’re covered!

So rather than doing a tiresome paint job yourself where you’ll be stuck with turpentine fumes for days, try out this less messy option – and look forward to a beautiful new look for your flat!
