Wallpaper Trends


Wallpaper is making a comeback in the world of wall coverings as it’s a great way to add atmosphere to the home as well as covering any imperfections in the wall. It comes in a wide range of different colours and patterns, ensuring that there is something to suit your taste and match your décor. We’ve hunted down the latest trends for you.

What’s Hot in Wallpaper?


So what is hot in wallpaper patterns and textures right now? Think of the following:
  • classic retro prints
  • oriental prints
  • botanical prints
  • metallic geometrics
  • op art prints
  • flocked wallpapers
  • metal sheeting
  • wood veneer
  • fake fur
  • papers that mimic the look of natural grasses

Use the wallpaper as a feature, or use it on all four walls to create a theme within your home. It can even be used as artwork, if you’d prefer. The sky is the limit!

Some Other Options


If you’re after something completely different and totally original, why not consider getting custom wallpaper made for you? There are wallpaper companies that will take your design or artwork and turn into wallpaper that is ready to hang.

Or, if that doesn’t appeal, what about paintable wallpaper? It comes in a plain pattern that you then paint to suit your décor. Paintable wallpaper is also available in a textured finish, which is great if you are after real texture on a wall, and not just the illusion of texture that paint provides.

Using a Professional


It is best to use a professional to hang your wallpaper as it will last longer and look better. Professionals will hang the wallpaper using a liner underneath in order to prevent curling at the edges. When hung correctly, your wallpaper should remain in good condition for at least ten to fifteen years.
