Combining wallpaper and paint on a wall is a great way to give a room individual character and create a “wow” effect. Patterned wallpaper can become the focal point of a room, while walls painted in a muted color complement it harmoniously. For a cohesive look, it's worth matching the paint shade to one of the colors in the wallpaper or using the same color in a lighter shade. You can also play with contrasts. Pairing brightly colored wallpaper with a smooth wall in a neutral shade will give the room energy and modern style. Color combinations that look great in contemporary interiors include:

  • black with white,
  • navy with beige,
  • burgundy with light pink,
  • mustard yellow with graphite,
  • mint with white,
  • gold with cream,
  • emerald green with light beige.

Modern wallpapers come in interesting patterns and colors, so you can create many spectacular pairings and combinations.

How to choose a paint color for your interior

Half-wall wallpaper – which rooms is it best for?

You can hang wallpaper on just half of a wall and paint the rest. A half-painted wall works great in rooms where walls get more wear, such as a kids' room, kitchen or hallway. Half-wall wallpaper effectively protects the wall surface from dirt, is easy to replace if damaged and creates a cozy atmosphere. You can also decorate the joint with a decorative molding or paint in a muted color.
