Four great wallpaper alternatives

Wallpaper is a huge trend and there are so many different prints and patterns to choose from. Art director Hema Nana shares her favourite wallpaper alternatives for those who tend to be a bit indecisive

Available in a wide range of prints and patterns to suit any interior, wallpaper can add loads of personality to your home. Unfortunately, as I’m quite indecisive, the process of choosing one can be long and difficult especially as it’s a costly commitment.

I was prowling the net for ideas as I wasn’t quite sure what look I wanted. The alternative needed to be DIY, cost-effective and easy to change or remove. Here are some fun options I came across.
