When trends change in the world of interior design, they change fast. At Go Wallpaper UK, we’re always on the lookout for new and emerging trends, making sure we let you know as soon as possible. Well this season, there’s a new trend that you simply have to know about and it’s not because it’s high-fashion, being seen in celebrity news or because it’s cool – it’s a trend that is practical, cost effective and solves a number of problems in one hit. The merging trend of Autumn/Winter 2014 is paintable textured wallpaper and there are five very good reasons why you need to consider this trend for your home…
  1. It covers wall imperfections – unless you have a brand new build home, it’s unlikely that your walls are free of imperfections. Cracks, pitting, bubbles and denting are common issues when it comes to plastered walls. Although there are solutions like re-plastering or using high quality lining papers to solve the issue, textured wallpaper offers an easier, more cost effective approach. The embossed, textured design makes it virtually impossible to detect the wall imperfections below, giving your home a new lease of life.
  2. It adds depth and texture to walls – it might seem obvious but textured wallpaper gives your walls a delightful textured effect. The beauty of this is that the texture helps to add depth to a room, making it more inviting, cosy and often giving the illusion of more space too.
  3. It’s hard wearing and highly durable – paintable, textured wallpaper features a unique construction which involves deeply embossing the wallpaper. This makes it much more durable than other wallpaper types and is therefore more scuff, wear and tear resistant for a durable finish.
  4. There are a wide range of great designs to choose from – a number of the leading wallpaper manufacturers offer paintable wallpaper including world renowned brand Anaglypta. You can choose traditional designs which resemble tree bark or subtle weaves or something a little different like floral flourishes, polka dots, geometric shapes and more.
  5. It’s paintable, allowing you to adapt the look to suit your taste and subsequent trends – most textured wallpapers are fully paintable allowing you to choose the colour scheme which suits your home. Once painted, most paintable wallpapers can also be re-painted as and when required to allow you to refresh and update the look.
With so many great reasons to choose paintable textured wallpaper, this is one trend you shouldn’t ignore.
