Wallpaper.


Aimee Wilder "Analog Nights" Wallpaper

Yes. Wallpaper.

What about it again?

Forget Louis Vuitton, some of the best designs around can be found on wallpaper, and not just the kind you use on your MySpace (that is, if you still use MySpace). This wallpaper is the traditional kind you soak and plaster onto walls. Regular old paint still seems to be the go to for adding personality to a room, but that doesn’t mean wallpaper has died. It just needs reviving.

Not too sure how many wallpaper artists there are out there, but one thing’s for sure: they exist and they’re not going away any time soon. This is a good thing, especially when you consider websites like this one:


It features custom made, COOL looking wallpaper. Not the kind we often think of in movie with throwbacks from the 70s, but the kind that’s functional and can really add to a living space.

Some of the papers on this website are absolutely phenomenal and look as if an artist came and personally drew or painted onto the wall. Unfortunately these probably aren’t the kind you can find at Wal-mart or Home Depot, but you can be creative with a room by using multiple designs and patterns for a distinctive look. Using vertical designs along with likes of floral or mixing and matching can easily create some other contrasting design. Simply find which colors complement one another (or not, if you’re feeling adventurous) and wallpaper your heart out. Not only will it look original, but it will also reflect your own artistic taste without burning a hole in your pocket.
