Show off Venetian blinds with stylish wallpaper

Special effect wallpapers that mimic the look of a different material can help boost a room and ensure other items such as Venetian blinds are not let down.

There are options available for those who cannot afford the exposed brick or wood-panelled walls they desire, according to HousetoHome.co.uk.

A selection of wallpapers is now available to create different visual effects, from stone to leather upholstery.

"Faux wallpapers look all the more striking if kept to just one feature wall, with neutral furnishings and accessories," the decorating site advises.

As less is more when it comes to wallpaper, the site recommends not using them in more than one of two rooms.

If the illusion of width is required, papering one wall in barcode stripes can adjust the perspective of a room.

Vertical stripes have the opposite effect, making a low ceiling appear higher.

According to eHow.com, homeowners can also trick the eye with techniques that create the look of wallpaper using stencils and craft paper.
