If you’re about to move into a new home or are planning to upgrade your existing abode and you’re looking to create a space that reflects your great tastes, then look no further! We are about to inspire you with some luxury wallpaper trends to help you decide on your new décor. Wallpaper is a great way to add style and character to your interiors, while elevating the décor to a new level. Using different textures, patterns, and colours, wallpaper gives you the chance to be creative and add a luxurious feel to your home.
With so many options available, choosing the right wallpaper can be a difficult task, as once it’s on the walls you’re going to have to live with it for some time. We’ve consulted those in the know at Solvite – the wallpaper adhesive that professionals and DIYers alike rely on for effective and powerful adhesives. We asked them for their opinion on current luxury wallpaper trends that will transform your interiors. Here’s what they had to say.
Looking to nature
In recent years, the focus has been on beautiful flowers when bringing the outside in with your wallpaper. This year has no doubt been more about tropical plants and botanical prints. This is a great way to showcase your interest in the outside world if you don’t have a green thumb. Opt for a simple repeat pattern you can find in a variety of sizes. Go bold with the design to feel as though you’re stepping into a jungle, or keep it simple and subdued with a monochromatic nature scene for a more timeless look.
Five-star hotel inspired décor
Taking inspiration from five-star hotels for your interiors is a no-brainer. Lobbies and suites of extravagant hotels are designed by top interior designers for the sole purpose of making you feel ensconced in luxury. So why not try and replicate your favourite five-star hotel lobby designs in your décor? Along with top-quality furnishings and other statement features, one way that hotel décor stands out from the rest is with their wall treatments. Antique wallpapers, panels, subtle textured and neutral designs all embody opulence and, paired with the right furnishings, will surely elevate your home décor.
Look back through the ages
Your home doesn’t have to be built during the Victorian age for you to incorporate some elements from this period into your interiors. If you do happen to own a home built during this time, you certainly aren’t limited to decorating your abode in this style either. Looking back on popular styles over the centuries is a great way to gain some inspiration and modern takes on these styles can be found on wallpapers everywhere. Love a Georgian look? Seek out some wallpaper with a panel design – they can be found in various styles and colours and are a great alternative to installing wood panelling.
Wallpaper panelling
One idea that we are loving right now is creating a feature wall with wallpaper by choosing a standout design – a mural design works best here – then laying thin strips of finished wood over the top. This divides the scene into squares as though you’re seeing it through window panels. It’s a creative way to display your wallpaper and certainly an eye-catching feature. You can choose the size and shape of the trellis and either paint them in a contrasting colour to the wallpaper or stick to black or white for maximum impact.
Thinking outside the box
Wallpaper is for walls, right? Well, these days many people are getting creative with their ideas. Some of our favourite trends are those where paper is being used to cover furniture, whether it’s the inside or outside of doors or drawers, the back panels of cabinets, or the tops of tables. We also love trendsetting ideas such as wallpaper breaking free from the confines of being on four walls and running up onto the ceiling, being found on the panel of a kitchen island, sitting above a picture rail, or cut out and framed as little pictures. Wallpaper doesn’t have to be boring or two dimensional, in fact you can have a lot of fun with it.
