Geometric Patterns
Wallpaper can speak volumes about your personality. In fact, it is an excellent way of adding a personal touch to your home without having to redecorate or rearrange the décor you currently have. Geometric patterns are coming back on trend so much so that we are beginning to spot them in all different colors, shapes, and forms. This pattern, in particular, works well in a bigger space such as the living room. The reason is such a bold pattern will command the attention of the space.
Floral Print
Floral may seem like a pattern that is only suitable during the spring or summer months. However, it is currently a top favorite for many homeowners. There is something very vintage about having a floral print wallpaper in an area of your home. Consider adding this print to your bathroom or hallway area for a bold take on a décor classic.
Art Inspired
One trend that is truly taking over is merging real art pieces into your wallpaper. Art inspired wallpaper has become the new craze for many homeowners because of how well it interconnects visual art with water colors. In fact, many art inspired wallpapers have been painted by actual painters that want you to have a piece of their painting at home in a different visual form.
Metallic
Metallic tones are no longer only remaining in the different lamps or chandeliers you may have in your home, they are also being incorporated into your wallpaper. Wallpaper with hints of metallic can help add depth to your walls in a bold manner. It is also a unique way of incorporating a metallic color hue into the home without having the need to add other décor pieces
Texture
Textured wallpaper is also playing a leading role this year. More and more homeowners are becoming interested in adding pieces into their home that has texture but will not change the décor they currently have. Wallpaper that offers a sense of texture adds not only an interesting aspect to the space, but it also creates a dramatic effect. Consider mixing and matching different textures in the same color scheme for a cohesive look.
Tropical
Tropical wallpaper is a lot bolder and will make a bigger statement than any other wallpaper would. It features dark tones that are perfectly blended in with bright colors that bring vibrancy to the space. Look for designs that have large pieces such as palm trees, bananas, or even leaves. This is an excellent way to bring a vacation feel to the space without needing to leave your home.
Repetitive Bold Patterns
Repetitive bold patterns are an excellent way to bring visual appeal to a space. With a repetitive pattern, you will get the same image throughout the entire space. What this does is draw the attention towards the wall which in return will expand the space. Doing so will convey all the visual you need to bring your living space to life. Repetitive patterns work best when they are in a neutral tone such as gray, black, white and tan. This allows you to have fun working with multiple different colors when it comes to decorating the space.
