Wallpaper

After a long period of neglect, when wallpaper was considered a has-been due to its old-fashioned reputation, it is making a remarkable comeback in interior design magazines and is once again becoming a trend. In fact, it's become so successful that it's hard to decide between the many models on offer today, each more sublime than the last. Take a look at some of the most beautiful designs you can use in your home, and give in to your desire for change.

Combine it with a plain base

Add a touch of style to your interior by combining a beautiful paper with a matching plain base. A retro or plant-based design lends itself perfectly to this exercise. They're available at all price points, so why deprive yourself?

The idea is to create a break between the upper and lower parts of your wall, at around 1/3 of its height. The upper part is then wallpapered and the lower part, once molded or simply delimited by a picture rail, is painted.

This technique can enhance any space in the home, from the living room to a child's bedroom, hallway or staircase. And for the bathroom, think non-woven vinyl, resistant and waterproof.

Define a space

Paper can also be used to harmoniously define a specific area in a large room. This option allows you to define the entrance, the office area or the dining room at minimal cost.

With delivery, ordering your product is easier than ever. But your heart's still in the balance, because the hardest part is choosing from the large stock available. How about giving your entrance a jungle feel with a panoramic landscape? Or maybe you'd prefer a more graphic design with wide, colorful vertical stripes inspired by beach cabins...

Dress up the inside of a cabinet or niche

If you want to give in to the sirens of fashion without changing your walls, consider wallpapering the inside of a piece of furniture or a niche. This solution offers two major advantages, as it can be installed over a limited surface area.

First of all, the risk of getting bored is lower than when the wallcovering covers an entire wall. You can therefore opt for a line of wallpapers with bold patterns: XXL foliage or flowers, polka dots, geometric figures, grids.

What's more, a single roll may well be all you need for your project. You'll be able to enhance a china cabinet, bookcase, niche or alcove with quality at a reasonable cost.

In the same vein of small, simple and affordable projects, there are also some nice variations. For example, you can add a decorative touch to your bedroom with an upholstered headboard. You may well be seduced by the raw look of imitation materials such as brick, stone or inlaid wood.
