Now that the faux finish market has crept away into oblivion, wallpaper is back and going strong. Bold patterns and strong geometrics are hot and being used on accent walls as well as half baths to create drama. The wallpaper industry has come to realize that the average consumer loves a new look but wants to be able to change that on a whim. Wallpaper has always been considered messy, difficult to hang and remove and sometimes we just get sick of looking at it. With the new papers they have found a way to give us a bang for our buck and fix all the "don'ts" about wallpapering. Easy to hang makes for DIY and easy removal allows us to change our minds after 6 months and do something different.
Gone are the small prints, florals and too much stripe! Today's papers are popping with big, bold geometrics and graphic patterns. For the everyday homeowner, this allows you to keep that neutral sofa, chair and floor covering and make the punch with what is put on the walls. If you decide one of these new prints is for you, add a medium or small print to balance the scale in your accessories.
Make the change to a half bath by putting the WOW factor right where your guest will get the biggest impact. Enjoy some pattern in your life and have some fun!
