The Rise of Wallpaper in Home Decor
At Altra Home Décor serving the greater Phoenix area, we watch trends so you don’t have to. And one interesting one has been the increasing popularity of wallpaper. Over the years, wallpaper popularity has ebbed and flowed, and right now, many people are enjoying the benefits wallpaper can bring a space. If you’ve been thinking about changing the look of your room, wallpaper might be right for you.
Why Is Wallpaper Gaining Popularity?
New application methods are helping boost wallpaper’s rise in interior design. Homeowners can customize the look of their rooms—and it can even be a quick DIY solution. Use just a single patterned accent wall to revamp a living room or bedroom. Wallpaper can remake a small space like a powder room. And beautiful wallpaper on a ceiling can offer a Michelangelo feel by turning the ceiling into art. Below are a few of the styles that are trending.
Scenic Murals in Earth Tones
Dreamy forest landscapes or garden scenes can become a bedroom’s or a living room’s focal point. Finding wallpaper that shows a large mural in soothing greens and warm neutrals can make a room feel like an immersive experience.
Bring in Nature
Many wallpaper styles feature botanical patterns or playful wildlife motifs—these styles can bring the outside in. If you want to add additional depth to the space, consider pairing those types of patterns with natural textures like stone, wood, or rattan.
Maximalist Patterns
If you’re into the bold and eclectic, find prints to match. You can choose from hand-drawn illustrations, chintz, and plaid to jazz up the look of the room.
Metallic Wallpaper
Bring a touch of shine to the room with gold, silver, or copper wallpaper finishes. You can find classic patterns and geometric designs with metallic accents to add a touch of the luxurious. Because the metallics reflect light, they’ll instantly add glam to even the most mundane of spaces like powder rooms or the entryway.
Finding Window Treatments to Match
Even if you’re bringing something newly bold to your room, you can find a window treatment that will stand well with it. If your wallpaper is bright and eye-catching, consider neutral colors for the window—great options include Silhouette® Shades, which transform natural light, or Pirouette® Shadings, which are like a work of art at the window. If your wallpaper is more neutral, think about adding a pop of color at the window—bring in a touch of metal with Modern Precious Metals® mini blinds, which can direct light based on which way they’re tilted. No matter your style, the professionals at Altra Home Décor can help you accent it with just the right treatment for any room in your home. Give us a call today!
