The Leading Wallpaper Trends of 2016/17
Beautiful wallpaper continues to be a popular choice for decorating, and South African homeowners from all walks of life prefer this wall covering for its aesthetic appeal and cost-effectiveness. It adds instant colour to any room, and greatly impacts your scheme. However, with so many designs available, how do you choose the one that’s best for you?
Whether you want to add an understated design for subtle interest, or would like to make a bolder statement with patterned wallpaper to provide your living area with a wow factor, we’ve found the latest trends to inspire you. Take a look at some of the best wallpaper trends sweeping through the interior design industry at present.
Marbled-effect Wallpaper
Why is this trend so popular? These fluid and colourful, often reflective designs bring fun and free-flowing patterns to your walls. You can also easily tailor this trend to suit your home thanks to its versatility. It also offers monochrome colour mixes alongside reflective, multi-coloured and matt finishes.
Archive-design Wallpapers
Even though wallpapers taken from the archives provide a historic feel, they are far from old-fashioned. Now you don’t have to spend your life in an old house for these wallpapers to work, but select a design that suits your home and its aesthetic beautifully.
Geometric Wallpapers
Do you enjoy geometric wallpaper? Now you can use your love of this fabulous look to bring your house to life. Use large scale graphic prints for a contemporary scheme, or for a post-1960s home. If you use smaller and subtler patterns, then you can pull off a more traditional look and feel.
Oriental Inspired Wallpapers
This trend has been traditionally used in bedrooms, and can be considered quite feminine, but it is not overpoweringly feminine, so you can easily add more masculine colours.
