Why you should choose geometric wallpaper

Geometric wallpaper is exactly as it sounds. It’s associated with patterns and geometry and features shapes such as squares, circles and triangles in contrasting colours. It’s an extremely popular choice, with more and more people using it to express their style and add personality to their home. Some of its key benefits include:

It’s available in bold and subtle colours so it’s easy to find something to suit your taste

It’s durable and often relatively inexpensive

It’s bold and eye-catching

This unique type of wallpaper provides a refreshing change from unpatterned wallpaper and adds a contemporary feel to a room. You can choose designs in bright colour schemes like pinks and blues, or monochrome colour schemes such as black and white geometric wallpapers. Keep an open mind and consider whether you want to create a bold, impactful look or something subtle and toned down. It all comes down to personal preference and what looks best in your house.

Geometric wallpaper is durable and often relatively inexpensive. It can help make a statement and transform a space to be more eye-catching and visually appealing.  

What products do I need to apply wallpaper?

Applying geometric wallpaper yourself? There are several essential products you’ll need to complete the job to a high standard. These include:

Wallpaper paste – such as the Polycell Trade Extra Strong Paste

A plumb line – a handy measuring tool to achieve straight edges when wallpapering. The DDC Plumb Line is a great choice

Wallpaper scissors – the Axus Decor Stainless Steel Wallpaper Scissors are ideal for trimming wallpaper

A wallpapering table – like the HallsBeeline Heavy Duty MDF Top Paste Table
