Wallpaper Teme e variazioni, Cole and SonWallpaper is all the Rage! It's popular, chic and trendy for interiors, from modern to traditional.Who knew? For a long time, wallpaper was on the outs. The far outs. We were all tired of stripes, flowers and damask; and of course, we were tired just thinking about stripping it off. So what did we do? We turned to faux, washes and plain ol’ paint. All still great options BTW, but Wallpaper has staged a comeback!What happened?Great new wallpapers happened!Wallpaper manufacturers got smart and started to hire interior designers to design them. Fun ideas and great looks began popping up everywhere and we are falling in love with wallpaper all over again!Popular so far are:

Large Prints

Mod 60's stylingTextured Surfaces: One of may favorite! Great pattern and hand flocked!and shiny bright monochromesA fresh look in today’s wallpapers is the indulgence in organic shapes and flow.There are fewer structured geometricsLarge Geometric with fresh purple and greyand more abstracts, that move with nature!

Earthy and organic 
Two of my favorite are lacquered wallpaper and metallic wallpaper.

Love this silver metallic! Painted lacquer walls are a great design trend these days, but they are expensive and time consuming to do. They are worth it if you love the look, but now you can get a similar look with wallpaper!

Wallpaper is also easier to install and easier to remove than ever before. And thanks to the ‘green revolution’, wallpaper is a lot less toxic, which is never a bad thing.So grab a book and start flipping. Wallpaper is back!Note: Still on the outs are wallpaper borders. Please don’t try these at home!
