I cannot tell you how many times I see a client wince when I mention the word wallpaper as a design concept in AZ! I can't believe how distant everyone has become from the possibility of enhancing their home's interior with such a luxurious product that has proven, over the ages, to be a sturdy and long lasting material. Perhaps, it's because the product of yesteryear WAS such a sturdy and long-lasting product that took 2,000 years to peel off of a living room they once had. Or maybe it's because it reminds them of the hideous selection of wallpapers from the 1980s or avacado green prints of the 1970's? Whatever the reason, there is so much to learn about the many ways that wallpaper can become a stunning part of your home remodel. Long after Wallpaper 101, our initial experience with wallpaper, here is Wallpaper 102- A Reintroduction To Wallpaper...
Fact: Wallpaper is much easier to remove than it use to be. It is not a permanent fixture on your walls. Don't let that fool you into believing, however, that it will fall apart over time. It is made to last on your wall untill you remove it, by pulling it down without
breaking a sweat- even if it is 10 years from now.
Papers come in hundreds of thousands of varieties from faux finishes to prints, stripes to jaquards, natural weaves to bricks and tiles. The sky is the limit with wallpaper. Although many take a steady eye and a bit of skill to put up, due to the pattern repeat that must be matched and the tight seams that look best when hidden, there are many ways to accomplish a simple do it yourself project with wallpaper. I have used my own living room as a show and tell example. Take a look!
