Wallpaper that’s not from the 70’s

It’s funny that when someone says wallpaper, some people go running and screaming in the opposite direction.

Wallpaper did get its bad reputation from those horrible floral designs and unexpected zigzag patterns that are now outdated and honestly repulsive. For new homeowners, wallpaper is the last thing they want to see when house hunting. When every room in a house is cover to cover in ugly and extreme patterns, wallpaper may even be a deal breaker.

But readers, open your eyes to the endless assortments of modern wallpaper. There is a large variety of bold prints, simple patterns, and soft textured papers. I have been impressed in what I have encountered in the past few years. There are not many dizzy and tasteless patterns that only seem like a necessity to an outdated Inn or diner.

If your taste in style is Retro, you might not be attracted to these new trends. Nevertheless, there are always places to find those vintage prints. For all of you Ultra-modern fans, those vintage prints can also be inspiration for a contemporary look in your own home; if you furnish and accessorize it correctly.

All in all, I am not advising you to wallpaper your entire home from floor to ceiling; but, I am saying take a look at the options and you will be surprised.
