Make a Statement With Statement Wallpaper

A bold wallpaper is the best way to make a statement in any room. Whether you prefer the subtle texture of a textured wall, a classic chinoiserie or a vibrant botanical print, your wallpaper choice says a lot about your personality.

It may not be as personal as your wardrobe or your favorite music, but your home decor is an expression of you. And when it comes to statement wallpaper, the choice is nearly limitless. Choosing the right pattern can give your space a dramatic focal point that sets the stage for the rest of your décor and helps to tell your story.

Whether you are a fan of the tropical prints of a palm print or are more interested in a floral or botanical kaleidoscope, there’s a wallpaper to suit any taste. And don’t forget about the impact of a bold geometric print or a rich, textured paper that adds dimension and depth to your space.

For a truly bold option, try a hand-drawn wallpaper that takes you into a fantasy land where trees grow giant pears, mythical creatures roam and wildflowers bloom. This fascinating 3m-repeat design is a bestseller for Kit Kemp, a designer who is known for her passion for folklore and fairytales.

Striped wallpaper is always a safe bet and there are many options to choose from, including Cole and Son’s classic Hicks’ Grand striped wallpaper and Osborne and Little’s bold Minaret pattern. For those who want to mix it up, consider a pattern that combines botanical motifs with stripes.

If you have paneled walls, a striated wallpaper can add an unexpected element that creates a dramatic focal point. Or, opt for a textured wallpaper in natural tones that gives the space a modern update.

While botanicals are a perennial favorite, there are plenty of other wallpaper trends to try. Animal motifs are popular and can add an unexpected twist to any space. And textural papers can add drama to any room with an earthy palette of navy blues, shades of greens and terra-cotta tones.

If you don’t want to commit to a full-room paper, opt for a single accent wall. You can always paint over it when you’re ready for a change. Whatever you choose to do, don’t forget to use a primer that will help your wallpaper last. If you’re using a pre-pasted paper, use the brand’s recommended primer for wallpaper, like ROMAN PRO-977 Ultra-Prime Pigmented Wallpaper Primer. And if you’re going over a good paint job, use a high-quality primer to seal the surface before applying your wallpaper.
