Be bold with the coolest, most colourful fabrics and wallpapers of the moment

Did you know that colourful textiles and wallcoverings featuring strong, lively patterns will fill any room in your house to the brim with pep and pizazz? And that’s not the only thing. Your mood will also improve. These decorative elements have the power to reinvigorate dreary environments and make them more energizing and interesting, turning your house into a cosier, pleasanter place without the need for any cumbersome construction work.

To achieve this effect, we advise you to have a look at the options offered by Mindthegap, a brand Gancedo is the agent for, which designs and manufactures top quality textiles, wallpapers and wallcoverings. Their wide array of products is the perfect source of inspiration to transform any space in your house and breathe life into it. Do you want to see how? We’ll tell you how to make this trend work in your house.

From less to more

If you’re still reluctant to take the big step, begin with small details such as cushions or lampshades to see the impact they have on the decor. As you begin to feel more comfortable (and confident) you can gradually add vibrant wallpapers and curtains and upholstery in striking fabrics. What’s more, as you can appreciate in this dining-room, it isn’t necessary for everything to be the same colour; mixing different colourways and patterns will help you to create a dynamic, visually rich environment.

Accent wall

Another way to incorporate wall coverings with a great visual impact into the decor is to keep them for one surface, such as the wall against which the sofa sits in the sitting room or the headboard in the bedroom. Choose a paper you fall in love with and mix and match it with complementary shades in the rest of the fabrics. You’ll definitely get it right if you complete the decor of the room with details in the plain colours featured in the pattern on the paper. Mix different textures to add depth and avoid saturating the space with similarly powerful patterns on other decorative items.

Now for the ceiling!

Decorating the ceiling with a printed wallpaper is an innovative way of adding depth and character to any room. To ensure visual harmony, choose a covering which fits in with the colour of the walls or that features colours that are repeated in the decor. In this case, the red and blue tones of the Mindthegap paper are repeated on the walls and in the woodwork. Remember that to nuance and lighten the blend, you can always add plain upholstery and neutral tones.

Yes, to blending

If you like to be on top of interior design trends, you’ll have realised that the reign of neutral tones, of minimalist, single-colour decors has come to an an end. Colour is the thing now. We’re no longer afraid of maximalism and are becoming more and more adventurous with the boldest, most daring combinations. If you’re not convinced, look at this sitting room, with upholstery patterned in orange, fuchsia, yellow and green tones, and striped blinds, all against a background of wallpaper with floral motifs. Risky, certainly, but it all works! The key lies in coming up with a common thread which, in this case, is the colour green.

The perfect backdrop

If you have pictures or prints on the walls, a well-chosen wallpaper will bring out the best in everything. Go for a wallcovering whose pattern complements the colours and styles of your works of art. You can choose a model in similar shades for a joined-up look, or perhaps one in contrasting colours so that not only the wallpaper but also the decorative items stand out. The important thing is for the ensemble to be easy on the eye as well as reflecting your personality and taste.

Just as we mentoned at the start of this article, these environments from the Mindthegap brand are an incredible source of inspiration. Their designs, whether floral motifs, or geometric, ethnic or vintage patterns, add character and sophistication to any space. And you can find them all at Gancedo!
