Wallpaper

Does your home utilize its space by accenting walls with wallpaper? If not, you’re missing out on opportunities for color, texture, and pattern. Today’s wallpaper is available in various styles that look amazing in any interior decor. Superior Paint & Decorating carries several top brands of wallpaper from Ronald Redding Designs, Carey Lind, Antonina Vella, Candace Olsen, Jaima Brown, Thibaut, Paper & Ink, Wallquest, York Wallcoverings, and Ashford House. We’d love to show you the ways wallpaper can enhance your home.

Express Your Style Using Wallpaper

One of our favorite things about wallpaper is the extensive array of colors, designs, and textures it provides. Have you ever found a paint color you’re in love with, only to find out it’s a trending color that everyone loves? It can still look amazing, but your walls won’t be nearly as unique. The endless options of wallpaper make it almost impossible for you to choose the same exact look as anyone you know.

What Wallpaper Offers

You might be surprised at the benefits wallpaper has to offer.

  • Many people believe wallpaper to be a very delicate wallcovering, but with average use, wallpaper can last many times longer than paint. 
  • It also protects your walls and can conceal imperfections. 
  • While paint can only be applied using one method, there are several ways to hang wallpaper. You can paste the wall or wallpaper or use the popular peel-and-stick variety. 
  • When it comes time to change things up, wallpaper beats out paint again. Removing paint is a lengthy process and most times, it’s easier to just paint over the original color. Repainting is fine unless you’re making a drastic color change, and you’ll need to prime the walls first. You can easily remove wallpaper.

Wallpaper: More Than Just Paper

Modern wallpaper is far more than paper. The renowned brand Thibaut, for example, offers textured, woven, and vinyl options. Each type of custom wallpaper has unique qualities to offer.

  • Vinyl or vinyl-coated paper is easy to hang and clean. It’s available in rolls and sheets and has many color and pattern choices. 
  • Non-woven wallcoverings are long-lasting and breathable. This variety adds texture to your wall and is almost as easy to install and clean as vinyl custom wallcoverings.
  • Printed paper has flat, printed patterns, while relief wallpaper adds texture you can feel. 
  • If you’re looking for a specialized look and extreme texture, consider grasscloth wallpaper. It may be more challenging to install and care for, but the gorgeous aesthetic is worth it. 
  • You can also go with non-traditional options, including foil and cork or unlined paper.

Choosing Perfect Wallpaper

Once you’ve decided to use custom wallcoverings, it’s time to select the ideal wallpaper for your space. You can narrow down your plentiful options with some of these tips:

  • In north-facing rooms, windowless areas, and hallways, take advantage of wallcoverings that will reflect light throughout the space. Flat wallpaper reflects the most light, as do lighter colors. 
  • If your wall has imperfections that would easily show through the paint, it’s textured wallpaper to the rescue. Textures and patterns keep the eye moving, so there’s less chance to focus on a single spot. A layered design will also give the appearance of texture. 
  • Select a wallpaper that is suitable for the space you are decorating. Large-scale patterns look fantastic in formal areas, while smaller motifs with regular spacing, like polka dots, are great for a fun aesthetic. You can also select borders to accent your wallcovering choice. Choose a larger scale print to create an intimate feel. 
  • Did you know you can use wallpaper to alter the appearance of architecture? Vertical patterns emphasize height and make ceilings appear taller. Horizontal prints accent width and can make narrow rooms feel more spacious. 
  • Mix and match colors and patterns wisely. A room without patterns can look dull, but too many patterns can cause a cluttered aesthetic. If you want to use more than one pattern, choose ones that share colors or members of the same color family.
