FOCAL POINT

‘Many living rooms have an existing focal point, – a fireplace or entertainment system – so it’s not always recommended to have a conflicting feature wall. Consider using a wallpaper on all four walls that complements the focal point for a more visually relaxing result,’ says Melanie Adams, global manager at Wallpaper Direct.

It’s best to wallpaper the most obvious wall – the one you see when you immediately walk into the space. Wallpapering the wall where the TV is can help disguise it.
