If you want to make a real impact with your wallpaper, then use it to create a focal point in the room. A great way to do this is by papering just one wall in a feature design, and keeping the rest of the walls neutral. This will draw the eye to the textured wallpaper and make it the star of the show! The Essence ombre wallpaper is used here to make the roll top bathtub the standout feature of the room, offset perfectly against the soft cream hues of the wallpaper.
