The biggest walls in the house and the most people looking at them. Living rooms reward restraint — texture, tone-on-tone pattern, or one wall that carries the room.
Most living rooms want a textured or tone-on-tone paper on the main walls — grasscloth, a linen-look non-woven, a subtle stripe — with the fireplace wall or the wall behind the sofa carrying a real pattern if the room wants one. Ceilings are high and windows are many, so ballpark counts run high and wall condition matters: many Utah living rooms have vaulted ceilings and knockdown texture that need a skim coat first.
This is a room where the Design Session earns its fee. A pattern's scale against a 10-foot wall with a fireplace, a mantel and two windows is hard to judge from a phone.
