Wallpaper is Back in a BIG Way

Many have the image of a bright 70’s floral pattern ingrained in their head but, oh how the styles have changed.  Once thought of as old and outdated, the use of wallpaper is making a big comeback. Ranging from bold to serene, wallpaper manufacturers are sure to have an option that would suit any design style.  If you like the idea of wallpaper but are hesitant to use it on large scale, quite often powder rooms provide a great arena for prints that deliver that “wow factor”. 

A subtle approach to dipping your foot in this resurging trend would be to try a solid color yet textured wall covering. A recent powder room project incorporated a very popular geometric pattern by Kravet. Interior Designer Debra Classen of William Conrad & Company Interiors said, “the power room was quite small with a tiny window. Adding decorative panel molding and painting it a warm white, helped to open the space and add interest. The tiny casement window would not allow for the use of enough fabric in a window treatment to add pattern, so wallpaper was the obvious choice.” Whether big and bold patterns or small and delicate, wallpaper is a great way to add depth, variety and a touch of whimsy to a room without a huge investment.  Let us know how we can help you incorporate wallpaper into your next project!
