If you are wanting to adopt the up-and-coming maximalist trend for your home, dress up your walls with printed wallpaper to add some excitement to any setting. Maximalism focuses on the bold- from colors and prints, to textures and materials. Wallpaper has recently been reborn and offers a trendy way to incorporate any color to your space. The combination of both maximalism and wallpaper gives us the birth of this bold interior design trend for 2021 and beyond.
Back to Nature
Current wallpaper favorites include florals and natural scenes. Natural elements and materials are also showcased in recent trends, adding a sense of sustainability to any setting. This includes wicker and straw woven papers. Consider using a fun floral wallpaper to create a statement wall or build a unique color palette in any room.
Texture
Texture is another element of wallpaper that allows you to creatively develop your space, but in a more understated way. Textured wallpaper can be subtle and add interest to plain rooms, while simultaneously working cohesively with existing furniture or color schemes.
Wallpaper is trendy because the possibilities are endless. With such a plethora of print options and uses in any room, wallpaper creates a stylish refresh for your home.
The best part is that you can make this trend a DIY project with these helpful tips:
Prep your walls
It is very important to prep your walls. Make sure to strip the old wallpaper, take out any nails, and sand. This ensures that the wallpaper will go on flat and stick seamlessly to the surface. Use a sharp edge to cut the paper straight and then roll the wallpaper paste onto the back of the paper. For the best results, use a high-quality paint roller to apply the paste.
Apply wallpaper
Once on the wall, use a smoother to run over the paper. As you hang, wipe the paper to clean the paste residue. Both of these steps help create a professional-looking project at a fraction of the cost. Roll the wallpaper seams using a roller. This will prevent the edges from curling and give the wallpaper a seamless appearance.
Even better, consider some of the newer self-adhesive wallpapers for a quick application. These peel and stick wallpapers are perfect for a room you want to dress up quickly or change frequently.
