Yahoo News 10 best wallpapers that create a statement in your home
These are exciting times in wallpaper design. With a wealth of beautiful papers on offer from big name brands to artisanal designers, the choice has never been better.
Current trends see bold botanicals mix with tropical animalia, while a move towards artist-led wallcoverings puts painterly motifs and hand drawn illustration at the fore.
Meanwhile, art deco design continues to influence our interior walls – who doesn’t need a dose of barefaced glamour right now?
Whether you’re after a restrained splash of colour on a chimney breast, or you’re looking to pretty up your entire living room with floor-to-ceiling pattern and print, there’s fun to be had in choosing your perfect paper.
It’s wise to get hold of wallpaper samples you can try out in situ; these are usually available for small change. And if you’re going the DIY route, consider user-friendly papers with a “paste the wall” hanging method – there’ll be less mess all round.
We put our top 10 wallpapers to the test, looking for big impact coverage, ease of hanging, and durability.
