Is Wallpaper Still in Style?

Yes, now more than ever in fact. We have seen an increase in the use of wallpaper in both homes and professional spaces. With newer options, like peel and stick, the application does not have to be a hassle. It is also more forgiving for coving up walls that are flawed or not smooth.

Does anyone still use wallpaper?

Designers love using wallpaper. The right wall decor can tie an entire room together. Mixing and matching patterns from pillows, curtains, and wall coverings can really set the stage for your space. It is also important to understand the space and layout of a room before committing to wallpaper. Our design team at Wallauer can help you customize your space with the right way to decorate using wallpaper. Or shop our selection of well-known designer collections for a DIY project.

Should I Wallpaper the Whole Room?

The fun part about wallpapering is that there are no rules to what you can and cannot wallpaper. If you have a beautiful, bold mural, you only have to hang it on one wall. This will be the focal point of your room or an accent wall. Older homes with molding on the wall can be partially papered so the molding outlines the paper. Depending on the pattern, some homeowners have wallpapered the ceiling only. You can definitely get creative with your space.

What Rooms Can I Wallpaper?

You can wallpaper any room you see fit. Adhesive has improved so wallpaper can stand humidity in bathrooms better than it used to. Softer colors or fun patterns can be used in a baby’s nursery. Bold geometric shapes work well in a teenager’s room. Wallpaper can define a theme in your home, for example, nautical patterns if you’re near the beach. Go for a grasscloth in a laundry room or home office.  The possibilities are endless!
