There aren’t many interior design trends that last throughout the years, but metallic wallpaper has proved popular time and time again. 

In fact, it has remained a firm favourite among world-famous celebrities like Christina Aguilera, who love adding some glamour to their homes with this wallpaper installation. 

The songstress, who is well-known for her elaborate style, showed off her choice of metallic wallpaper when giving a glimpse of her dining room on Instagram recently. 

Aguilera, who has enjoyed more than two decades in the pop industry, chose an off-white and gold pattern for her metallic wallpaper, which complemented the rest of her house, painted in a bold red, brilliantly. It definitely enhanced the feeling of opulence that the 42-year-old herself exudes. 

The wall covering doesn’t just inject glamour to your house, it also fits in perfectly with this year’s popular maximalism trend, which has encouraged homeowners to embrace their knick knacks and show them off. 

Choosing a metallic wallpaper makes a room more interesting and gives it more character. It also makes rooms look bigger, as the light bounces off the sheen and creates the illusion of space. 

Although some homeowners choose to cover all four walls in the bold design, many prefer to use it on an accent wall, as a more subtle way of adding a statement to the room. 

Metallic tones, particularly gold and rose gold, can make a room feel warmer, especially when teamed with soft lighting, and can brighten up small, dark spaces. 

In fact, those who are short on wall space might add metallic wallpaper to their ceiling instead, as this will add light to a small area and encourage people to look up, adding another dimension to the room.
