Hello, design enthusiasts! Welcome back to Interiors By Ria Blog. Whether you are looking to refresh a single room or redo your whole house, embracing bold wallpapers and innovative textures can magically transform your space from blah to breathtaking. Let’s explore how these fun elements can add tons of personality and flair to your home!
Choosing the right wallpaper might seem daunting, but it's actually pretty fun once you start mixing and matching colors, patterns, and figuring out what feels right for your room. Want to make a small room look bigger? Try wallpapers with smaller patterns or vertical stripes. If you're looking to cozy things up a bit, go for wallpapers with deeper, richer colors and detailed designs. A little bit of contrast can really make your room pop!
As a Texan myself, we’re not afraid to make a statement—big, bold, and beautiful! Today’s wallpapers come in a great variety of patterns and colors that can match any design style, from timeless elegance to modern chic. Choosing vibrant wallpapers isn't just about beautifying a space; it’s about creating a mood and telling your unique story through your decor.
Textured wall panels are a great way to add some depth to your walls. You can find these in all sorts of materials, like wood, fabric, and even 3D panels that really stand out. You can use these panels to jazz up a section of a room or go big and create a stunning feature wall. They bring a level of sophistication and a touch of texture that you just can't get with paint alone. Plus, if you're into something that's both stylish and practical, you might consider acoustic panels. They not only look good but also help control noise, which is perfect if you need a quieter space.
Aside from wallpapers and panels, there are some really cool painting techniques that can totally transform your walls. Things like sponge painting, stenciling, or adding a bit of metallic finish can make a huge difference. These methods are super hands-on, so you can really get creative and have some fun with it. Whether you're after a gentle texture or something more out-there, these painting techniques open up all kinds of possibilities.
Many people shy away from wallpapers and textured panels, fearing the installation process. However, with the right tools and a bit of patience, you can achieve professional results. Always start with a clean, smooth surface and use good-quality adhesives. For wallpaper, it’s crucial to align your patterns at the seams. If you’re not a DIY enthusiast, hiring a professional might be a worthwhile investment to ensure everything looks perfect.
Here are some FAQ that I answer for my clients:
Modern wallpapers are designed to last and are often washable, which makes them suitable for high-traffic areas.
Yes! Just make sure to choose a wallpaper that’s moisture-resistant or specifically designed for bathrooms.
Many modern wallpapers are designed to be strippable, which makes them relatively easy to remove if you fancy a change or are updating your decor.
Cleaning wallpaper is generally quite straightforward, but how easy it is can depend on the type of wallpaper you have. Most modern wallpapers are designed to be durable and can be wiped down with a damp cloth.
Vinyl Wallpapers are very practical for high-traffic areas because they’re water-resistant and can be cleaned with a sponge and a mild soap solution.
Washable Wallpapers have a thin plastic transparent coating that makes them more durable than traditional wallpaper. You can clean them with a damp cloth, and for tougher stains, a bit of mild detergent can help.
Non-Washable Wallpapers are a bit more delicate and aren’t suited for heavy cleaning. For these types, it’s best to dust gently with a dry cloth or use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment to remove surface dirt.
Bold wallpapers and innovative textures are all about expressing yourself and turning your home into a personal masterpiece. They can elevate the mundane to the magnificent, making any home look like it’s straight out of a design magazine.

Ria's interior design expertise truly made the process an absolute pleasure. Her keen attention to detail is evident in every aspect of her work, ensuring that every element aligns perfectly with the overall vision. What impressed me the most was her unwavering commitment to communication and follow-up. No question went unanswered, and she was always readily available to address any concerns or queries I had along the way.
One of Ria's greatest strengths is her ability to listen attentively to her clients. She took the time to understand my preferences and needs, offering insightful suggestions that elevated the design to new heights. Her recommendations weren't just about aesthetics; they were tailored to optimize functionality and enhance the overall ambiance of the space.
Working with Ria was a collaborative and enriching experience. Her passion for design shines through in every decision she makes, and her dedication to client satisfaction is unparalleled. I couldn't be happier with the results, and I wholeheartedly recommend Ria to anyone seeking a truly transformative interior design journey.
Ria did a wonderful job on designing my space. She really took the time to discuss with me my ideas to get a sense of my needs and style. Her communication throughout the process has been phenomenal so I’ve always known when to expect things from her. She’s been responsive to my feedback and to exploring options that fit my design preference. I look forward to working with Ria on more design projects!
I really enjoyed working with Ria, she was great at taking direction and finding the look you had in mind, but any time you weren't quite sure what to do with a space she was quick to offer guidance. I think she went above and beyond to make the whole process enjoyable and as easy as possible.
I was looking for something more polished for my main bedroom. Ria created a beautiful, custom design plan for me based on my preferences and how we use the room. Would highly recommend.
I needed a rental space decorated after my divorce and I was on a budget. Ria came in and understood what I wanted to accomplish and listened to my feedback throughout the process. Although we went slightly over budget, in the end my home now feels like "me" and is soooooo comfortable and cozy when I need to relax and decompress in the evenings after work.
I debated only giving 4 stars instead of 5 due to being slightly over budget (I wish there was a 4.99 rating), but this was a near-ideal outcome in terms of how much I enjoy the spaces she decorated - so 5 stars it is!!!
Thanks Ria for an incredible job!

I truly enjoyed working with Ria as my designer. Our house looks beautiful. I would highly recommend her as an interior designer for your home.
Ria did a great job with my project. She was patient and took the time to get to know everything I was looking for. Throughout the whole process she was in constant communication with me about how work was going, what issues came up, and how she was helping to take care of them. She was very frank about prices and timelines, but also worked really hard to help me find the right style and stay within budget. At first I wasn't sure I wanted to spend money on a designer, but I'll definitely be reaching out to her for future projects.
Ria was awesome to work with!!!! She has great taste for design and worked with the ideas i had. She is also very honest and professional. I would definitely recommend her if you are needing a designer!!
