Forget paints. Eschew stucco. Wallpaper is back and it's bright and bold.
Wallpaper has come a long way since the chintz from your grandmother's living room or the polite florals in your childhood bedroom. For starters, advances in technology have not just made installing and removing it so much simpler. Not to mention the leaps and bounds in printing that allows for vivid colours, photo-realistic images and other cool effects.
It's no surprise that design brands are growing more adventurous in their offerings, creating audacious patterns which can transform any room. These distinctive wallpapers are an easy tool to update a room and instantly add a big dose of personality.
Whether it's lush oversized florals or an exuberant geometric pattern, whimsical wallpaper is certainly having its moment and the best thing is when you start to get tired of it, just peel it off or replace it with a new print.
Here's where you can get the cream of the crop:
1. Gucci
Wallpaper featured prominently in Cara Delevingne’s fantastical Los Angeles home and none more memorable than the delightful Gucci wallpaper featuring elegant herons against a pink background. But Gucci's wallpaper repertoire goes beyond just beautiful birds. The storied Italian fashion house has unconventional designs and patterns in silk, vinyl and paper.
