We Love Wallpaper!
Four walls, limitless possibilities.
Wallpaper has made a tremendous comeback and with that comes mind-boggling choices. Throw out your notion of wallpaper based on the rosebuds at your grandmother’s house. Seriously, well before grandma, wallpaper began as hand-painted prints on walls as early as 105 BC and we have been decorating our walls since. Discover wallpaper in florals, toiles, textures, geometric, stripes and even dogs in clogs!
Floral Wallpaper
There are certainly wallpapers that invoke a vintage feel. If a throw-back look is what you are seeking, find a small, intricately printed paper in muted or pastel colors. They are still in abundance. What has been added is florals in bold colors, florals in giant scales, florals in intricate patterns, florals in abstract form. Always pleasing and versatile, floral wallpapers work in any room and fit with both traditional and modern décor.
Toile Wallpaper
This style is also making a comeback as it reimagines itself. Originally from France and depicting mostly French farm life in sepia colors, we now find this print depicting various landscapes and cultures. Offered in traditional colors, as well as brighter, more modern colors, this intricate wallpaper is best suited for smaller spaces.
Textured Wallpaper
From wool to grasscloth, textured wallpaper is a great option to add dimension to a space without adding a distinct pattern. We love using wool on the walls for both style and sound absorption. Grasscloth immediately creates a natural vibe in a room. Bump this to the next level by choosing a textured wallpaper that also incorporates a pattern.
Geometric Wallpaper
No shape left behind, and too many to list here. A couple of points to keep in mind. A large, very regular geometric will be super powerful in a room and might overwhelm the space on all four walls. Consider a focal wall if the pattern feels like it will close in the space. An irregular geometric pattern might become tiresome as our eyes are looking for a steady repeat that can’t be found. For a safe choice, find a geometric pattern that is repetitive in a small scale in colors that you love. This will stand the both the test of time and allow you to hang artwork on top of it.
Striped Wallpaper
Classic. Pleasing. From a bold cabana stripe to a mini stria, this pattern will stand the test of time. Static room? Add stripes. Small room? Add horizontal stripes. Short ceiling? Add vertical stripes. Available in all the colors of the rainbow, striped wallpaper is extremely versatile and blends with any decorating style.
Whimsical Wallpaper
If you have a sense of humor and want to showcase that on your walls, you will find lots of wallpaper choices in the “whimsy” department. Dogs in clogs make us smile every time.
