The Increasing Popularity of Wallpaper in Home Decor
If you like to keep up with interior design articles, you might have noticed that wallpaper has been trending lately. It’s popularity has ebbed and flowed over the years, and right now, it’s enjoying a bit of a popularity surge. If you’re thinking about changing up your room’s appearance, wallpaper could be the trick. At Blinds & Designs serving Marin County, we have a few ideas about how to incorporate it. Read on!
What’s the Deal With Wallpaper?
Part of what’s boosting wallpaper’s rise are new application methods that make removing the wallpaper easier than ever. As a DIY project, wallpaper is popular with homeowners who want to customize the look of their rooms. You can use it to remake smaller spaces like powder rooms, or you can revamp your living room or bedroom with just a single patterned accent wall. And if you find just the right beautiful patten, you can put it on the ceiling to turn it into art like Michelangelo. Here are a few of the trending styles:
- Metallic. Gold, silver, or copper wallpaper finishes can bring a touch of shine to the room. Classic patterns and geometric designs with metallic accents can help you add a luxurious touch. Because the metallics reflect light, they’ll instantly add glam to even the most mundane of spaces like powder rooms or the entryway.
- Nature. Bring the outdoors in with a wallpaper style that features botanical patterns or playful wildlife motifs. And consider pairing those patterns with natural textures like stone, wood, or rattan to add additional depth to the room.
- Scenic Murals in Earth Tones. Create your bedroom’s focal point with dreamy forest landscapes or garden scenes or with wallpaper that creates a large mural in soothing greens and warm neutrals.
- Maximalist Patterns. Find bold and eclectic prints to match your outgoing style—you can select from chintz, plaid, or even hand-drawn illustrations to spice up the look of the room.
Coordinating Window Treatments
If you’re changing up your room’s look, you’ll want to be sure your window treatments coordinate well. For wallpaper that’s bright and eye-catching, use neutral colors on the window—consider Silhouette® Shades, which transform natural light, or Pirouette® Shadings, which are like a work of art at the window. To match wallpaper that’s more neutral, add a pop of color in your window treatments—Modern Precious Metals® mini blinds, which can direct light based on which way they’re tilted, can help bring in a touch of the metallic. No matter your style, we’ll be happy to help you accent it with just the right treatment for any room in your home. Contact us today!
