5 Best Wallpaper Prints

Gone are the days when wallpaper was something you only saw on a visit to your grandparents house, over the past few years we have thrown away the hideous wood chip and embraced the rise of more classy and contemporary wallpaper designs.

From elegant vintage styles to fun and funky modern prints we have selected 5 of our favourite wallpaper designs that will transform your chosen interior and create an eye-catching feature within your home.

Stripes

Striped wallpaper is an ideal way of creating a chic pattern within your home and looks great on a stand out feature wall or a long and linear space. Vertical stripes are ideal for those with low ceiling height as the position of the stripes will create the illusion of extra length on your chosen wall. Alternatively horizontal stripes will have the same effect of lengthening the room outwards. Striped wallpaper works in a wide range of colours and looks particularly fabulous in metallic shades for added elegance and luxury. If your not brave enough to tackle bold stripes then opt for a thinner, more subtle stripe or choose a pin stripe design for a chic and sophisticated interior feel.

Spots

If your dotty about wallpaper then what better way to show of your interior style than a fabulously spotty wallpaper design. Opt for small spots if you are using the wallpaper on more than one wall or if you have a compact or enclosed interior space. If your are wallpapering a large feature wall then you can opt for larger more bold spots to create a focal point within your interior. Classic monochrome works really well with a spotted pattern or opt for white and red for a more vintage feel. If your feeling adventurous then opt for a vibrant and multicoloured colour palette that will create a psychedelic and retro style interior ambiance.

Floral

Floral wallpaper has long been a favourite in the interior design world and with such a vast range of traditional and contemporary designs to choose from you really will be spoiled for choice. Classic rose prints work really well in a shabby chic style interior whilst bold gerberas or orchids can transform the feel of a modern living room or bedroom area. More ornate floral designs and oriental willow patterns create a mural effect on a feature wall and create an area of artistic style and beauty that will add texture and colour to your interior space.

Baroque

Baroque and Rococo style wallpaper has made a huge impression on the interior design world this season. Its intricate designs create a rich and luxurious atmosphere that works wonderfully in both bedroom and living room areas. Its flamboyant print looks particularly beautiful in a black and white colour scheme or for a more traditional feel then select your wallpaper in period colours such as duck egg blue, gold and pale pink.

Quirky

If you prefer your wallpaper choice to be something a little out of the ordinary then there are thousands of fun and funky wallpaper designs that will create a visual delight in any room of the home. Animal print designs are increasingly popular this season with dogs and cats being an obvious design choice. Wallpaper murals can add a real statement to a feature wall transforming your interior into a chic Parisian landscape or a Jurassic dinosaur filled jungle. Other designs include cartoon or comic strip designs that you can colour yourself (perfect for the kids) or book effect wallpaper that is perfect for filling up any empty space in your library or study.
