The Art of Colour: Matching Wallpaper to Your Room’s Light

Every room tells a story — and light is its narrator. Understanding how natural and artificial light affect colour will help you choose wallpaper tones that truly bring your space to life. Whether you prefer soft neutrals, rich heritage hues, or elegant metallics, this guide will help you find harmony between light, texture, and style.

Understanding Light

• North-facing rooms: Cooler light. Choose warm neutrals (Ivory, Stone, Taupe) or soft florals to lift the space.
• South-facing rooms: Warm light. Balance with cooler tones (Sage, Olive, Navy) or textured neutrals.
• Evening rooms: Lamp light warms colours; test with a sample.
