Now that wallpaper is back on trend, it can be found in all manner of different patterns, textures, styles and colours, helping you find the perfect paper to help you create the contemporary look that you desire.
In the 70s, real wood panelling and furniture was all the rage, turning homes into log cabin lookalikes up and down the country. But in the 21st century who needs wood panelling, when there are an array of wallpapers that give you the desired effect. Using neutral colours and roughed up textures, you can use wallpaper to create a modern twist on the authentic 70s log cabin decor.
If you don't fancy some wood effect wallpaper, the old faithful floral prints are winner. Right from the 70s through to 2012, floral prints have remained a fashionable pattern for bedroom and lounge decor. If you choose to go the whole hog and wallpaper your entire room in floral print, then it is advised to opt for a more toned down colour to add depth and light to the room, and prevent the print from being too suffocating. If you do want to go for a bolder colour floral print, why not opt to create a focal wall, or paper two opposing walls in the floral print and the other two walls in a neutral colour.
For an ultra sophisticated look, why not opt for flock wallpaper in a large print. Popular colour schemes for this velvet textured wallpaper style are black and metallic greys, or other rich tones. It can often be a little more expensive than your average wallpaper, so use it wisely in a grown up area such as a bedroom or dining space rather than a family room where it could get ruined.
And how could we forget the all time favourite 70s theme of graphic and geometric wallpaper patterns. The beauty of it is it can be fitted into any colour scheme, working well in hushed and neutral tones as well as bold and bright colours. It can bring depth and interest to any room of the house, but as with the other large and bold prints, beware of using it on every wall as it could suffocate the room.
