Wallpaper Is No Wallflower

March 17, 2020 By Michelle Lamb -

Paysage Exotique from Zuber

Wallpaper is back in a big way. This phrase refers to the accelerating preference for using wall coverings throughout the home. It alludes equally to the scale of motifs in the freshest new on-trend designs.

There is nothing boring about these papers. In a bold reimagining of an outdated 80s trend, they use enormous scale and updated color as a jumping-off point. Then, designs draw on additional features, so they stand out even more:

  • Classical motifs have a whimsical overlay, or are updated with color.
  • Traditional landscapes may be reduced to black-and-white, with pops of color.
  • The interest in natural elements is translated into grand designs with rhythm and movement.
  • Leaves are blown up to new proportions.
  • Flowers are dramatic and bold. Interesting backgrounds mimic silk, velvet or linen textures. Some blooms are fantasy inspired.
  • Geometrics tend to be massive. Some have blurry and indistinct edges. Others look interestingly abstract.

Wallpaper today feels more like a work of art. It refuses to remain in the background. These designs insist on being noticed as much as the rug, the sofa or any other showpiece in a room.

Here are a few of The Trend Curve’s favorite designs.
