The right wallpaper can transform your home into a warm and welcoming place. In 2022, the choice of papers is richer and more diverse than ever before, which means making the right decision takes some thinking about! Here are some ideas and new ways to use wallpaper this year.

Wallpaper on the ceiling

A trend that has emerged in the last couple of years is the ‘fifth wall’. This involves complementing plain walls and flooring with a patterned paper on the ceiling. This look has long been popular for kids’ bedrooms, to amuse them as they drift off to sleep. Now, the idea has taken a grown-up turn.

It’s a great way to add a bold pattern or bright colours, that would overwhelm the room if it were on the walls. Accents of colour can be picked out on items of furniture and ornaments in the room. Keep the rest of the décor simple, to really make the ceiling pop.

Kitchen and bathroom wallpaper

Traditionally, tiles have been used in these areas because of the exposure to heat and humidity. However, many types of modern wallcoverings which have been installed by professionals are designed to withstand such conditions. Look out for moisture resistant products, with hard-wearing finishes that can be wiped clean.

Vintage papers

The nostalgia for different eras remains strong this year, with many vintage styles of home décor to choose from. An interesting way of adopting this theme in your home is to pick a retro wallpaper, such as a damask or Arts and Crafts influenced design, and mix it up with some contemporary pieces of furniture.

The 1920s art deco era is another fashionable look to emulate, with abstract or geometric designs, and metallic touches. A perfect way to lend a touch of class and culture to any room.
