 Wallpaper, Love It or Hate It?

When I discuss wallpaper with my clients, it reminds me of discussions about cilantro, rap music or guacamole - you either love it or you hate it.  If you love it, you'll enjoy this newsletter.  If you don't, I challenge you to read on and find out why you may want to switch sides.
 ADD TEXTURE.  Every wall is a blank canvas, and wallpaper can make it art.  Adding some unexpected textures and bold patterns can add a creative spark and create a more dynamic space, giving your room a layered look that draws the eye around. Today’s patterns include just about anything you can imagine. Modern wallpaper designs that look like fabric, wood, brick, natural stone, cement or metal are just a few of the striking interior decorating trends that are increasingly being seen in wallcoverings.
DRAMATIC IMPACT. Try creating one accent wall with wallpaper. A large-scale wallpaper design will be more like an exclamation than an accent! Thanks to digital printing, wallpaper designers are able to stretch their creative vision such that you can add images of ancient art, contemporary crafts, historical events, favorite places or other inspirations to your room décor in a unique way.  Wallcovering can become not the just the backdrop, but an integral part of the design scheme itself.
