Wallpaper of Your Grandmothers

Remember the wallpaper of your grandmothers, the vivid floral prints, or paisley prints. Wallpaper grew out of favor during the 1990s, however, is now coming back into style. Geometric designs are big now along with textured prints. Wallpaper now mimics the look of metal, marble, brick, and fabrics such as leather and satin.

It goes up easy and some have peel-off backing and is much easier to remove. I remember spending days applying a toxic solution to the paper and scraping it off.

The use of wallpaper has changed from doing the entire room in the same color and design to doing an accent wall or lower half of the walls. A textured paper removes the flaws in the room which paint can not do.
