Wallpaper is not just a trend; it’s back in a major way and here to stay! We use wallpaper in many of our own projects and love the way it can define a space and the people who live and work there. Here are some of the trends in wallpaper we are currently living and loving.
1. Big Bold Florals – We simply can’t get enough of this new take on traditional floral wallpaper. Oversized and dramatic, many designers are using dark hues and moody organic compositions. This makes for a major statement. Go bold behind the bed or in a living room, you don’t want to hide these showstoppers in a corner or powder room.
2. Watercolours – Loving this trend for fabrics and wallcovers! This style is soft and organic by nature, but if you add a bold colour or colour pairing the look can have major drama.
3. Graphic – Tried and true but always being reinvented, we love good graphic wallpaper. Whether you use colour to add a pop, or metallic to add sophistication, there are dozens of styles and patterns to chose from. We love graphic wallpapers in powder rooms and kitchens where repeating patterns work really well behind fixtures and shelving.
4. Wall Murals – If you prefer a big statement to a pattern then maybe a mural is the right choice. Maps are especially popular at the moment. The sky isn’t even the limit with this particular style.
5. Kids Wallpaper – Kids rooms are very popular to design because we get to play with colour and pattern more freely. In the last few years companies have begun to focus on wallpapers made specifically for the young trendsetter. Imagination is the key ingredient in kids wallpaper and every style is available from floral to graphic.

If wallpaper intimidates you then a bathroom or office is a great place to start. Choose one wall behind floating shelves or a small powder room to make a major impact. Wallpaper is bold and it can be a great place to add some fun to your home!
