Wallpaper gets a bad rap. Often associated with busy patterns in tacky homes decades ago, wallpaper isn’t generally a first choice when it comes to redoing walls. But actually, a lot has changed in wallpaper since the 1970s. Say goodbye to the messy pastes, floral patterns and wide stripes of the past and get ready to give wallpaper a second chance.
Today’s wallpapers can add texture and complementary color to a room. Choose neutral colors for a classic look that will never become outdated. Donghia’s wallcovering collection features wallpapers in classic colors with textures that occur in nature, such as bamboo, precious metals and natural fibers. These wallcoverings offer a cohesive and easy alternative to complicated faux finishes.
Wallpaper can also take on the role of wall art, ideal for an accent wall or modern décor. Paul Montgomery Studio offers several collections of hand-painted wallpaper art, ranging from classical Asian themes to European Renaissance styles in contemporary colors. The studio also provides custom hand-painted wallpaper murals.
If the cost of hand-painted or textured wallpapers scares you away, rest assured that even big box stores, like The Home Depot carry affordable wallpaper collections, including everything from textured brickwork prints to Disney themes for kids’ rooms.
Ready to give wallpaper another try? The new themes and styles combined with easier application processes make wallpaper remodeling a no-fuss weekend project.
My grandparents re-wallpapered their house when I was a kid. I remember my grandma kept saying that the old wallpaper was too busy, but I didn’t think the new one was much better!
