Wonders of Wallpaper
Wallpaper is a beautiful and versatile way to add personality and style to your home. It can be used to create a focal point in a room, add texture and dimension, or simply to express your personal taste.
Here are just a few of the reasons why we love wallpaper:
Add pattern and color
Wallpaper is a great way to add pattern and color to your walls. With so many different designs and colors to choose from, there's a wallpaper out there that's perfect for every room in your home.
Focal points and drama
Wallpaper or wallpaper murals can be used to create a focal point in a room. Especially fun for kids rooms, with relatively low commitment, wallpaper can add a new instant upgrade to a kids room and be changed as they grow. A feature wall covered in wallpaper is a great way to draw the eye and add interest to a space.
Texture and Dimension
We love using wallpaper in our design projects to add texture and dimension to the walls. Textured wallpapers, such as grasscloth or linen, can add warmth and visual interest to a room. In Florida we use a lot of grasscloth wallpaper for a coastal influence that doesn’t feel too literal. Both timeless and classic, grasscloth wallpaper design can come in many forms and be both textural and patterned, tone on tone or brightly colored.
Easy updates
Wallpaper can be installed quickly and easily, and it's a great way to give a room a fresh new look with options that range from intricate panel wallpaper designs to easy pattern peel and stick for a DIY option.
Things we look for in wallpaper
There are many different types of wallpaper available, each with its own unique advantages and disadvantages. These are some of the most popular types of wallpaper we use in different applications.
Vinyl wallpaper
Vinyl wallpaper is the most durable and easy-to-clean type of wallpaper, making it a good choice for high-traffic areas such as kitchens and bathrooms or for commercial projects. It's also relatively inexpensive. Some higher end vinyl wallpapers are made to mimic natural textures like sisal, grasscloth and woven woods, and are created so artfully that at first look it is almost impossible to tell the difference.
Grasscloth wallpaper
Grasscloth wallpaper is made from natural fibers, such as seagrass or bamboo. It's a luxurious and durable option that adds texture and warmth to a room. However, it can be more expensive than other types of wallpaper, and it's not as easy to clean.
Paper wallpaper
Paper wallpaper is the most traditional type of wallpaper, and typically can also the less expensive. However, it's not as durable or easy to clean as vinyl wallpaper.
