Wallpaper isn’t the same fuddy-duddy decoration as it was in Victorian times. These days, it boasts newer patterns, fresher colors, and easier wall adhesion. All of that speaks to why it’s increasing in popularity today. At F&R Interiors serving the greater Los Angeles area, we have a few ideas for how to determine if wallpaper is the right plan for you. Read on to learn more!

Today’s Wallpaper

Wallpaper’s rise in interior design is in part boosted by new application methods. It can be a quick DIY solution for homeowners to customize the look of their rooms—and even renew it not long after. It can revamp a living room or bedroom as just a single patterned accent wall, or it can remake a small space like a powder room. And ceilings can get in on the art—why not make a room into a beautiful canvas just like Michelangelo did? Here are a few of today’s trending styles:

  • A Hint of Nature. Wallpaper that features botanical patterns or playful wildlife motifs can bring the outdoors in. To add additional depth to your room, consider pairing nature patterns with natural textures like wood, stone, or rattan.
  • A Metallic Shine. Gold, silver, or copper wallpaper finishes can instantly add glam to even the most mundane of spaces. You can find classic patterns and geometric designs with metallic accents to add a touch of the luxurious.
  • Scenic Murals in Earth Tones. Dreamy forest landscapes or garden scenes can become a bedroom’s or a living room’s focal point. Mural-like wallpaper in soothing greens and warm neutrals can make a room feel like an immersive experience.

Coordinating Window Treatments

No matter the level of boldness you bring with your wallpaper, there’s a window fashion that can coordinate with it. If your wallpaper is bright and eye-catching, consider neutral colors for the window—some options include Pirouette® Shadings, which are like a work of art at the window, or Silhouette® Shades, which transform natural light. If you bring in more neutral wallpaper, think about adding a pop of color at the window—Modern Precious Metals® mini blinds can add a pop of metallic, and they’ll direct light based on which way they’re tilted. No matter your style, the professionals at F&R Interiors can help you complement it with just the right window fashion for any room in your home. Be sure to contact us today!
