Spring into summer

Spring into summer

They say a change is as good as a holiday, so as the seasons change, take time to transform your surroundings

SOCIAL & LIFESTYLE

During this time of the year, Western countries are revelling in the first air of spring. In Thailand, the looming Thai New Year season edges closer and could more or less call for new changes, too. Spring cleaning is no fun, but revamps may have you feeling otherwise. With new plants shooting up and well wishes blessed by the elders, this season symbolises a new start that we can physically materialise by giving a new look to our surroundings. A whole furniture overhaul can be costly, so we suggest another alternative to achieving transformation: change your walls.

WONDER WALLS

The wallpapers by Bodhi Tree are suitable for one wall, but the results are sweeping. They will give a whole new ambiance to your room without having to change any furniture. Our picks from the Thai assortment give a traditional, yet classy vibe that won't have your house looking like an Oriental restaurant or massage parlour.

The intricate details save it from being cheesy and make it fitting for rooms that aren't prayer rooms, as well. Some even look like paintings, and you can feel better about eventually discarding them when you get bored, since it's just wallpaper after all!

The more cartoonish designs can really make a statement and add verve to a minimally furnished room. It serves as decor and most importantly, doesn't take up space. The map design also creates an air of intelligence, which you could tack on should your houseguests need some convincing. It exhibits an elegance that is most fitting to create an elite impression for a library or living room.

With wallpaper, there's less mess and hassle than there is with paint, but hiring professionals is recommended for best results. Wallpaper can be applied to cement, wood, gypsum, or any flat and non-glossy surface. Their lightfast level is seven, which is considered the highest possible ranking for wallpaper. It simply means that it can resist light better and takes longer for the colours to fade, compared to less pricey wallpaper, which usually rank between two and four. Although the sizes are stated in the description, the size or even the colour of your design can be made to order as well.
