Molding and Wallpaper – a Timeless Duo in Interior Design

Wall molding with wallpaper is a stylish duo that never goes out of fashion. It works perfectly both in spacious, high-ceilinged living rooms and in smaller rooms. You can successfully use this combination in the living room, bedroom, kids' room, home office and even a client waiting room.

Molding is usually made of lightweight materials such as polystyrene, polyurethane or wood, which makes it easier to install and more affordable. Meanwhile, modern wallpapers are made of a material that offers huge design possibilities thanks to a wide variety of patterns, textures and colors. By combining wallpaper with molding, you can create a striking backdrop for decorative elements while emphasizing the elegance of the space.

How do you install molding on a wall? Just prepare the wall surface properly and use a secure mounting method, such as construction adhesive or screws, depending on the material used. 

A wall with molding: tricks to make a small room look bigger

You can use wall molding with wallpaper to make a small or narrow room look bigger. Well-chosen decoration adds dimension and depth to walls, making the room seem larger and more spacious. Here are a few tricks to help you achieve this effect:

• Light wallpaper and paint colors – they reflect light, making the room seem bigger.
• Wallpaper with vertical stripes – makes the room look taller.
• Wallpaper with a large pattern on one wall, e.g. behind the sofa or bed – so you avoid an overwhelming effect.
• Wallpaper framed with molding – which further highlights its pattern and visually enlarges the room.
• The right lighting – gently highlights the pattern and adds lightness to the room.

What wallpaper for a small room? In a small space, good choices include light wallpapers with a subtle pattern, one that isn't too dense and won't dominate the space. Delicate motifs such as light stripes, small flowers or minimalist, geometric shapes are a great choice.

Bold contrasts or subtle harmony? How to combine molding and wallpaper in the bedroom

If you're wondering how to design a cozy bedroom, wall molding is the perfect solution for you. It can be an elegant accent that gives an ordinary room an exclusive character. Molding and wallpaper in the bedroom offer a wide range of design possibilities. You can go for subtle harmony by choosing wallpaper in a soft, neutral color that complements classic molding, or opt for bolder contrasts with darker or more intense colors. A very interesting example is navy striped wallpaper or dark brown plaid wallpaper. Light wallpapers with subtle branches or flowers also work well in the bedroom.

Key composition rules: proven techniques for combining wallpaper and molding on a wall

Molding is a timeless decoration that you can easily match to any interior. Using wallpaper on one living room wall makes it easy to change the decor without repainting the whole room. To achieve a harmonious, attractive effect, however, it's key to follow a few composition rules.

First of all, carefully choose the colors and patterns of the wallpaper and the molding. It's best to choose wallpaper with a pattern that includes one of the paint colors you plan to use on the other walls. That way, you'll get a cohesive whole. If you want a bolder effect, you can opt for a contrasting color combination. In that case, though, make sure the colors go together and create an attractive composition.

Another important aspect is preparing the walls properly. The surface you'll hang wallpaper on should be clean, dry and smooth. If the wall has uneven areas or holes, fill them with filler and sand them down.

Combining wallpaper with molding is a great way to add character to a room and create a unique atmosphere.
