Batik

And as you can see, tie-dye bedroom wallpaper designs are a good direction when it comes to creating a calming oasis that is still rich in print.

Fest / Tonal

Working completely solid or tonally will add a more polished and refined feel to any room while adding a distinctive rich texture. If you work tonally, you can easily make the walls look fresher compared to a wall painted completely white.
