A few years ago, people started to avoid textured wallpapers – in fact they shunned wallpaper altogether. Instead they opted for a modern, clean look of freshly painted walls. This was all well and good in the flurry of new build homes that were popping up at the time. However fashions change and the simple, clean look is actually starting to look dated. Combine that with the sudden trend of buying and renovating period properties and the people who once opted for painted walls have got to find a more effective way of decorating – that will also hide the multitude of sins found in older properties. Luckily, wallpaper manufacturers have noticed the move away from modern homes and have invested a lot in the development of paintable textured wallpaper – an innovative solution for period property owners who still want a customised look. Paintable Textured Wallpaper from Anaglypta The Anaglytpa brand name is probably synonymous with painted textured wallpaper. This is due to the 125 years of experience they have producing quality wallpapers that are ultra-durable. But don’t be put off by their heritage. Yes you can get traditional textured wallpaper designs from Anaglypta thanks to their aptly named Vintage collection but this isn’t all they offer. Moving with the times, Anaglypta also have a series of other wallpaper ranges including Supaglypta and Anaglypta Luxury to name just two. The Supaglypta range is a little more robust than the conventional ranges and offers a tough solution for heavy traffic rooms or plaster in need of a lot of TLC. The Luxury range on the other hand is the range that is leading the way in the new trend for fashionable patterns that allow for a painted finish. Paintable Textured Wallpaper from Wallrock The Wallrock brand prides itself on offering specialist wall coverings. Having invested significantly over recent years in lining papers that offer soundproofing and insulation properties, it was only a matter of time before they launched a ‘top paper’ to complete the job. The Wallrock Texture range has been designed to offer the paintable textured wallpaper that the market is looking for. Offering a wide selection of designs including everything from modern to contemporary, retro and vintage inspired designs, there is sure to be a textured wallpaper design to suit your home and your taste. So if your bare painted walls are looking a little dated or if you just fancy a change, opt for paintable textured wallpaper. It will add depth and a certain level of comfort to your home whilst still allowing you to easily update the colour as the fashions change.
