Wallpaper is back and better than ever! In the last year, wallpaper has seen a design rebirth. You’ll be amazed by how the latest technology has reshaped and expanded what wallpaper can do. We are seeing bigger, bolder patterns and colors, natural surfaces like grasscloth, shimmering metallics, and sculptural surfaces. Here are some of the biggest trends we’re seeing in wallpaper design:

Metallics: Add some subtle shimmer to your walls with metallic wallpaper! It will catch the light beautifully and looks stunning in any room.

Grasscloth: At Drapery Design we love the look of natural fibers window coverings, so of course we also love grasscloth wallpaper! It is available in many colors and textures and even comes in prints.

Large Scale Pattern: Wallpaper patterns have become bigger and bolder in both neutrals and bright colors. We are seeing a lot of geometric motifs. Large scale bold patterns like these can be overwhelming, but we love them as accent walls!

Sculptured Surfaces: Thanks to advances in print technology, the newest thing in wallpaper is sculpted surfaces! These wallpapers give the illusion that  a thick layer of paint was rolled on, creating a luxurious 3D look. Stop by our showroom to see these incredible papers in person!

New Places for Wallpaper: Along with fresh contemporary designs, wallpaper is being used in innovative places. We are seeing wallpaper on ceilings, above and below chair rails, and on single accent walls. Any of these ideas can give an old room new life. We love this “greenhouse effect” wallpapered ceiling!
