Have you seen? Wallpaper is making a huge comeback. You’ve probably recently seen it on HGTV, design magazines, or even social media. And no, it’s not your grandmother’s wallpaper. There are many amazing designs, textures and interesting patterns of wallpaper to choose from that you can use in many creative ways. Below we have some reasons why you should use wallpaper!
1) How & Where To Use It:
Wallpaper can be used in so many places! Some good places to use it are a powder bath, laundry room, or even an impact wall in a bedroom or living room.
Powder baths are a great opportunity to do something bold! Since powder baths are usually on the smaller side, you can get away with doing a bold graphic pattern on every wall. Not only will you love it, but your guests will too! Laundry rooms are another great space to take advantage of wallpaper, let a cheery and vibrant wallpaper be the focal point of the room.
Using wallpaper on one wall as an “impact wall” is another great way to achieve a dramatic look, especially if you love the idea of wallpaper, but are nervous to commit to an entire room. Some ideas on where to use an impact wall are:
- Master Bedroom
- Dining Room
- Living Room
- End of a hallway
- Ceiling
2) Wallpaper on a ceiling
On the other hand, you could do the opposite of an impact wall and use wallpaper on all your walls. As mentioned above, you can get away with doing a bold bright pattern on every wall in a smaller space such as a powder bath or laundry room. But if you are working with a large open space such as a living room, family room or dining room, opting for something subtler is more appealing to the eye when it’s used throughout a large space.
3) The Different Styles:
- Grass cloth
- This type of wallpaper is available in classic, traditional patterns and intriguing, funky designs. Grass cloth is a very versatile wallpaper that gives a space a sense of dimension and character.
