Wall Coverings
Wall coverings can be a simple and inexpensive way to add some vibrancy to a room.
Once again, a new European look has hit the market and is all the rage containing new, bold color palettes that have been mixed with traditional prints and lines. These designs are perfect for creating accent walls, or eye-catching focal points. This type of pattern is best used in moderation, perhaps on a focal wall in a conversation area or dining room.
A boldly colored accent wall can add drama to any room! Be careful where and how you choose to give accents to a room. An accent wall naturally draws the eye so it is essential you are not competing with a major architectural feature such as a fireplace, or a wall of windows. Keep the room cohesive by using the color of the accent wall continued throughout the room as the dominant color in various accessories and fabrics. Modify just one wall and you will be amazed with the transformation of the room!
Textured wall coverings add both warmth and a natural finish to a room. May we suggest choosing grass cloths and natural weaves for wall covering letting you bring nature indoors. Organic textures and neutral colors create a space that will be relaxing with a tropical feel.
Don’t be afraid of the metallic look! Embrace metallic wall coverings to add a more contemporary edge and sparkle. Add a glint of glamour to your decor with bronzed and antique silver metallics layered in the latest shimmering tones and earthy dimensional weaves. From sleek modern to retro chic, these prints offer a show of magnificence with both color and texture.
More trends include framing sections of wallpaper perhaps on the headboard wall in your bedroom or the dining room wall, covering the wall with a faux tile or concrete look with wallpaper in order to have refreshing change, or even having a full wall mural to give a den or office a personalized and refreshed look.
