From color palettes to furniture choices and everything in between, there are lots of elements that come together to make your house your home. That being said, a choice that may not be at the top of your mind when decorating is branching out and doing fabulous wallcoverings instead of paint. Wallpaper and wallcoverings are having a resurgence in home design bringing about color combinations, patterns and textures that you otherwise might not have incorporated into your home.


What’s the difference between wallpaper and wallcoverings?

Wallpaper is what most of us are familiar with. Made from paper, it’s a covering that comes in different colors and patterns and that is installed by a professional or on your own as a DIY project. It can serve as a backsplash, a pop of color and even artwork in your home. You can cover every wall in your space with a fun pattern or simply choose a statement wall in your bedroom or bathroom. Wallpaper gives you the opportunity to dive into a plethora of color combinations and playful patterns that can be as busy or minimal as you’d like.

Wallcoverings are typically made of a luxury vinyl material that tend to be more durable and textured. For seamless results, hiring a professional to install is the best option. Made of materials like luxury vinyl or grasscloth, it’s a great option for not only the decorative aspect, but also for protecting walls in heavy traffic areas like an entryway. Adding a sense of lushness and luxury, a textured wallcovering is a fabulous way to elevate a space and step up your design game.







Think outside the box, or rather, outside the paint. Painting your walls is lovely and a great base for your home but why not spice it up with a patterned wallpaper or textured wallcovering? Try using it in your powder bath or as a backsplash in your kitchen. Incorporating this design component allows for even more creativity, options and personalized design. Wallpaper and wallcoverings add an unexpected impact that takes your interior design style to a new level.
