Wallpapers!

Hello all! I've been rearranging and cleaning my room for the last couple weeks. I took down all my posters and ended up with discolored walls. I don't want to repaint my walls so I've been looking at various products to cover them up. Wallpapers are classic. They're the first thing that comes to mind when you want to cover up your room but not paint them. But over the years wallpapers have gotten a bad name. They've become associated with grandma's wallpaper, something old fashioned and not stylish. But in these modern times, wallpapers have made a comeback and have become somewhat a go to wall accessory. This is because there are a wider array of unique and fun wallpapers to choose from. Wallpapers are essential for house decoration. They will liven your living space with style and class.

Concrete and Attic Wallpaper

I've always been a fan of grungy textured walls. Their grittiness really blends well with the beauty of minimalism. Concrete and attic wallpapers give your living space a unique look. These will play with your senses. Your sight, mind, and touch are going to be stunned when you see a textured wall yet touch a flat surface. There is no way one would destroy their walls just to rebuild in a different material. I mean there are, but there is no need to. It's easier now to buy and put up textured wallpapers to get the same look. Why waste your time and money, when all you need to do is put up a wallpaper!

Alphabet wallpaper

Typography has become very trendy lately. This alphabet wallpaper is not only for kids. It's modern and chic. The black is a strong focal point against the white walls. It makes a statement. Limit this to one or two walls and balance out with white. This will cause the walls to stand out but not overpower and drag the color and life out of the room.

3D Wallpaper

This is not your grandma's wallpaper for sure! I'm a big fan of 3d textures. This 3d vase wallpaper is simply gorgeous. The effect this wallpaper creates is brilliant. Light affects the shading which in turns creates a different look every time you look at it. This wallpaper makes your rooms look bigger, fancier, and more sophisticated.

Maps have always been a trendy item. They're educational, but visually stunning. Cover your walls with maps to enliven your rooms with color while staying on top of your geography.

Flowers and florals have been a staple in wallpaper since it was invented. If you don't believe me, go into any old house and you'll more than likely see flower wallpaper. This floral paper is modern and adorable. The pattern is neutral enough to blend well with your everyday life and not overpower your room or anything inside.

These cars and robots wallpaper are fun and bold. They will surely brighten up and bring joy to any room. They add a sense of character that is unique to all wallpapers. At the end of the day, it's not only about what wallpaper you choose, but what you choose to place with the wallpaper. Like your life, there needs to be a balance with wallpapers. You cannot overdo it and fill all your walls with wallpaper. You have to pick and choose. Having too much of a good thing always turns out bad. So fill up less than half your room with wallpaper and balance this out with stylish furniture and accessories!
