Keeping Up With Changing Trends

We like to keep you lot up to date with the latest trends and fashions in the wallpapering world which is why, this week, we have decided to explore the growing popularity of the yellow and grey colour scheme.  In this post today, we are going to explore some of our collection including a few of our brand-new arrivals.     

Marino Oslo Geometric Wallpaper Mustard and Grey  

The first wallpaper that we are going to look at today is one of our new designs which incorporates not only the trending yellow / grey colour scheme but also a striking contemporary geometric pattern.  The design is made up of intersecting squares, rectangles and semicircles in mustard yellow, white and grey tones.  Overlaying the design is a subtle metallic silver for an added contemporary effect.  To continue the scheme into the room itself, you can pick out colours from the paper and use these to colour match your accessories and even furniture.    

Crown Ophelia Decoupage Wallpaper Yellow and Grey

Also one of our new arrivals, this Crown Ophelia Decoupage Wallpaper is a pretty collage style design made up of a mis-match of beautiful floral and damask patterns, small shabby chic trinket boxes and various French phrases.  This particular colourway sees each of the items sketched in various shades of grey with parts picked out in a stunning yellow.  This is joined by intricately detailed photo style roses in a complementing yellow .  This design would look stunning as a feature wall in a bedroom, especially with accessories matching the yellow / grey combination.

Geometric Sticks Wallpaper Yellow / Grey 

This interesting design is a quirky twist on a more generic geometric pattern.  The design is made up of various coloured blocks or sticks arranged into an almost wave like pattern.  The colours, as with most of the other designs in this post today, play on using yellow alongside various shades of grey to create an eye-catching and dramatic design.  As this is quite a busy design we would recommend using it as a feature wall alongside a plainer paper, perhaps a complimenting yellow or light grey.

Apex Geometric Wallpaper Yellow and Grey

Our Apex Geometric Wallpaper has already proven itself to be a popular design with large yellow and light and dark grey triangles arranged into a stylish and contemporary geometric pattern.  Running between the triangles is a brilliant silver metallic strip for added glamour and modern effect.  As a firm favourite with our customers, we have a selection of customer images using this design which will feature in next week's post if you want further ideas and inspiration for your own room design.

Yellow Boutique Floral Wallpaper

This beautiful floral design also incorporates the trending colour scheme.  The wallpaper features a brilliant yellow background with large white flowers and soft grey leaves and stems.  Each of the flowers has a delicate grey detailing on its petals which is joined by a subtle metallic sheen.  The design is a sophisticated and stylish way to make sure your home is on point and you are keeping up with the latest trends and fashions.

Apex Wave Geometric Wallpaper Yellow 

Another of the Apex range, this wave geometric wallpaper uses tones of yellow, grey and white alongside a metallic geometric edging.  The beautiful wave design interweaves the complimenting colours to create a truly stylish and eye-catching pattern.   Try pairing this design with a plainer wallpaper which matches the colours in the design.  A dove grey or light grey wallpaper would create a very sleek and stylish finish.

Chinese Garden Wallpaper Yellow

If you are looking for a wallpaper that will instantly transform and brighten up your room then this Chinese Garden Wallpaper is for you!  The bright yellow backdrop is adorned with delicate white cherry blossom flowers, pretty grey Chinese lanterns and little grey swallows.  This design brings a fresh and new feel to a home and creates a fabulous centre point to a room.  For a closer look at the pattern, hover over the room shot below.

Modern Style and Contemporary Elegance

We pride ourselves on keeping up to date with the latest trends and fashions which is why, this week, we have a fantastic new range of Muriva wallpapers arriving here at WorldofWallpaper.  The new arrivals all incorporate top trending patterns and are each available in multiple contemporary colourways.   Including increasingly popular metallic and geometric patterns as well as large, bold motifs, the five papers that we are going to explore today are truly stunning examples of modern designs.  Continue reading to start exploring our new arrivals below.

Caden Metallic Geometric Wallpaper

The first of our Muriva arrivals is this Caden metallic wallpaper.  The design incorporates a striking and on-trend large geometric pattern with stunning symmetrical triangles in various shades of colour.  Each of the triangles features an on-trend distressed shabby chic look and is overlaid with a smooth metallic finish for added glamour and style.  Available in blue, silver, pink and taupe, this design would make an especially fabulous addition to a living room, bedroom or hallway.

Dandelion Wallpaper

This beautifully detailed Dandelion Wallpaper by Muriva features delicately illustrated dandelion flowers in bursts of stunning colours including sapphire, candy floss, raspberry, beige, silver and black.  Each of the quality wallpapers is finished with a subtle metallic sheen and based on a lightly textured backdrop.  The delicately illustrated designs are the perfect addition to any home for adding a light and airy feel to a room.  We would recommend picking out the main colour from the colourway that you choose and matching this with similar or complimenting colours in your accessories and furniture.  Take a look below for a few examples of this stunning design.

Orla Wave

This mesmerising wallpaper is sure to be a talking point in your home with its overlapping gentle wave design and glistening glitter highlights which are carefully dotted through the pattern.  With the rise in popularity of the feature wall earlier this year, the all four-wall wallpapered look began to fall out of fashion…. but not anymore!  The great news for all you wallpaper lovers is that, whether you choose to create a striking feature wall or whether you decorate all four walls, both ways of decorating are high in fashion right now!  This Orla Wave wallpaper is the perfect example of a design which can be used on all four walls to create a truly spectacular room design without being overbearing or too busy.  The beautiful design below is of one of the four available colourways for this wallpaper.

Indra Geometric Wallpaper

This Indra Geometric Wallpaper takes on the form of a more classic geometric design with a repeating metallic triangle and kite pattern overlaying a subtle glitter infused textured lined backdrop.  This durable, blown vinyl wallpaper can be used to create a beautiful and eye-catching feature wall in your home or alternatively, like the design above, be used to decorate the entire room.  The wallpaper is available in various colour combinations including turquoise, rose gold, silver and charcoal.  If you are wallpapering every wall in a small room, we would suggest using a lighter design as this will open and brighten up the space.  Alternatively, creating a feature wall with one of the darker designs will elongate the room also making it appear larger than it is.

Odette Swan

Saphire, silver and pearl are the three beautiful colourways that this majestic Odette Swan Wallpaper is available in.  With a large embossed swan design, elegant metallic elements and beautiful glitter highlights, this paper will bring a modern and contemporary style into any home.  The swans themselves are set on a lightly textured gentle waving pattern for added texture and interest.  2018 is all about bold, metallic wallpapers so this design fits right in to make a trendy and fashionable addition to your home. Two of the design’s colourways can be seen below.

Final Note

We love researching the latest interior design trends and introducing brand new ranges which, not only reflect these trends, but create a lasting and striking style.  In fact, we’ve got a great feeling about these new Muriva wallpapers as they truly are stunning examples of designs which pull together multiple trending patterns and colours to create eye catching contemporary designs.

                                                                                               Colour Trends

In the next few days Summer will officially end and Autumn 2018 will begin!  It’s that time of year again when we start to wrap up warm and enjoy beautiful and colourful landscapes as nature erupts into a striking red and gold canvas.  This Autumn change is revered in the interior design world and can often be seen reflected through home decor trends and fashion collections.  In this post today we are going to explore these colour trends within our own range of stunning wallpapers and give you a few tips on completing the look.  Continue reading for our four autumn colour selections. We will start by exploring Autumn reds. 

                                                                 Vymura Synergy Rich Red Floral Glitter Wallpaper

The first design that we are going to look at today is this Rich Red Floral Glitter Wallpaper.  Part of the Vymura Synergy Collection, this beautiful design matches the brilliant red of an early autumn tree.  The petal detail flowers are joined by a delicately waving pattern of floral leaves and stems, all of which are set on a slightly textured cream backdrop.  The design also features soft metallic and glitter highlights throughout which brings forward memories of dew covered leaves on a crisp Autumn morning.  Hover over the image below for a closer view of the design.

                                                                 Barbara Becker Red and Green Tartan Wallpaper

Our second wallpaper has a classic red and green tartan design with tiny zigzagged yellow, white and blue lines woven into the pattern.  This is perhaps a perfect representation of the turn of Autumn as it mimics the changing colours from greens to reds and yellows.  The colour combination is one which can be seen throughout interior design and is what makes it so effective for creating a striking feature wall.  For a stylish and contemporary finish we would recommend pairing this wallpaper with a plainer, warm red design to really bring the colour out of the tartan pattern.  

                                                                                Shimmer Wave Wallpaper Red

This bold red Love Your Wall Shimmer Wave wallpaper features a layered wave pattern in strokes of red and silver metallic and glitter.  The high-quality design is perfect for creating a warming and intriguing pattern and matches the turning of the leaves in this season.  The design is ideal for use in most rooms but perhaps consider putting this wallpaper in your entrance hall to give your home a warm and welcoming feel.

                                                             Apex Geometric Wallpaper Burnt Orange and Grey

Orange is a colour people often shy away from but, when used in the right design, it is a fantastic and stylish addition to any home.  This Apex Geometric Wallpaper by Fine Decor mimics the darker and warmer oranges of Autumn leaves and pairs this with contrasting tones of grey for a bold and striking design.  This paper is ideal for using as both a feature wall and decorating an entire room.

                                                                              Autumn Orange Stripe Wallpaper

Autumn is all about orange.  As the leaves on the trees turn ready to fall, nature provides us with a stunning range of colours.  This design below fits nicely with the Autumn colour trend through its stylish stripe design featuring alternating orange, coffee and cream coloured stripes.  Another bonus of this design is that it is very versatile.  You can choose whether you hang it vertically or horizontally and whether you use it for a whole room or just for a feature wall.

                                                                           Orange Retro Geometric Wallpaper

This retro style design also features a few of Autumn’s trending colours.  With a mesmerising pattern of repeating coloured blocks  on a mottled white background, this Geometric design by P+S is the perfect accompaniment to an on-trend living room or lounge.

                                                                            Flora Nouveau Wallpaper Yellow 

Yellow is a colour that is often associated with Autumn and features in a lot of Autumn colour collections.  The first of our yellow designs is this Flora Nouveau wallpaper.  Featuring a large floral damask pattern in a range of yellow, grey and cream tones, this beautifully detailed wallpaper is based on a traditional pattern from Crown’s design archives which date back to 1910.  Featuring a subtle metallic sheen, the beautiful classic is the ideal paper for bringing the trending autumn colour to your home through a timeless design.

                                                             Yellow and Grey Geometric Triangle Wallpaper

Another design which fits nicely into the Autumn colours range is this Scandi Geometric Triangle Wallpaper.  With varying sized triangles in tones of yellow, grey and white, the linen effect print paper can brighten and open up a room for a fresh Autumnal feel.

                                                                   Aztec Yellow Diamond Geometric Wallpaper

Our final yellow design for today is this Aztec Diamond Geometric Wallpaper.  The striking design features a uniform yellow diamond pattern on a white gloss finish backdrop.  As this is a particularly busy design, although it would look great to decorate an entire room, we would recommend breaking the room up by pairing this with a plainer wallpaper.

                                                              Autumn Brown Stacked Logs Wallpaper

When we think of Autumn we tend to think of the brighter colours and overlook the various brown tones.  Brown is a timeless and lasting colour which can be found across a huge range of designs and patterns. This Stacked Logs Wallpaper by Rasch is a great example of a wallpaper which fits in with the Autumn colour scheme.  The paper features a stacked log effect which is perfect for creating a rustic and classically cosy feel to your room.

                                                              Chocolate Brown Floral Glitter Wallpaper 

This Chocolate Floral Glitter Wallpaper is an additional colourway to the design seen in red above.  Also part of the Vymura Synergy Collection, this stylish design features various shades of brown on a slightly textured glitter cream background.  The petal detail flowers are joined by a delicately waving pattern of floral leaves and stems with soft metallic and glitter highlights throughout.

Upcycling with Wallpaper

With growing environmental concerns, one of this year’s main focuses is to create less waste, especially through repurposing or recycling.  This is perhaps why there is an ever-growing interest in upcycling.  But what exactly is upcycling? Well, put simply, it is the process of repurposing and renovating old furniture or items to create new and often unique pieces.  For example, by taking an old, marked bookcase and adding leftover wallpaper as a backing, you can revitalise the item and make it usable and stylish once again.  In this post we are going to explore some creative and stylish ways to use wallpaper to upcycle items. 

What Wallpaper Can I Use?

First off let’s look at what wallpaper you can use to upcycle.  The short answer is... any!  Whether you’ve got left over rolls after redecorating or even just the cut-offs, you can put these to good use if you know how.  Alternatively you can order samples of your favourite designs for smaller projects or collages.  At WorldofWallpaper we offer samples (which are typically 53cm by 30cm) at only £1.99 each with free UK delivery on every sample!  The third option that we are going to explore today is using peel and stick wallpaper, an ideal choice for a quick, no-mess upcycle project.

Using Left Over Wallpaper and Cut Offs

Upcycling with wallpaper is the perfect way to use up any paper and cut offs that may be leftover after decorating.  These leftover wallpaper pieces can be used to create some stunning items and pieces of furniture through the process of upcycling.  Below we are going to look at a few examples. 

Wallpaper Coasters

Why spend loads of money on buying brand new coasters when you can use your leftover wallpaper scraps to create designs that not only look stunning but match other areas in your home! The pin below takes you to an article posted on www.thinkingcloset.com.  They detail the step by step process for creating the impressive wallpaper coasters seen below.

Framing Wallpaper

For great wall art or to add an interesting twist to your existing decor, upcycling old picture frames with wallpaper cut offs and leftovers is an excellent way to achieve a classic and stylish look.  In the image below you can see a similar idea that is created using the Precious Metals Sirius Feathers Wallpaper by Arthouse.  By framing this design it breaks up the plainer coloured wall giving the room an element of artistic style and creativity.  To get the wallpaper for yourself simply click on the image below.  Additionally, if you have multiple wallpaper cut offs then why not consider creating a stunning framed collage for a more quirky and unique look.

Wallpapering Furniture and Storage Units

Another great use for leftover wallpaper is to upcycle old furniture that is past its prime.  With cabinets, bookcases, wardrobes and more, these old pieces can be transformed into stunning furniture items which compliment your room’s decor and add a unique and special edge to your home.  Take a look at the video below for step by step instructions on creating a fantastic wallpapered bookcase!

An example of this type of wallpaper upcycling can be seen in the images below which were sent in by one of our amazing customers moleandvelvet.  They have used our Teal Lagoon #Fish Wallpaper by Holden to give a fun and stylish twist to their cabinet!  Click on the images below to get the wallpaper for yourself.  

Upcycling With Samples

Another great way to upcycle furniture is by using samples.  You can order samples of your favourite designs and use them to create personal upcycled items.   The best thing about samples is that you can also experiment with multiple designs and patterns and use combinations of designs as well as getting creative with collages and more.

Wallpaper Kitchen Splashback

One great use for samples is creating a kitchen splashback.  Preventing your kitchen wall from becoming stained or getting damp, a splash back deflects the water and dirt and can be easily wiped down and cleaned unlike the wall itself.  It’s a very practical item but this doesn’t mean that it can’t be stylish and make up part of the rooms decor.  Click on the pin below to take you to PillarBoxBlue.com for a full list of instructions on how to create your own kitchen splashback.  

Upcycled Lampshades

The second item is upcycled lampshades.  When you decorate a room you shouldn’t have to replace and buy a new lampshade every time you change the design!  Why not upcycle your old lampshades with your favourite wallpaper design or one that matches your room’s decor.  Want to decorate again? No problem! Simply repaper the lampshade once more.  For full instructions on how to create your very own wallpapered lampshades click the pin below which takes you to Makesbakesanddecor.com.

Table tops

Overtime table tops become marked and stained and can look rather unsightly but don’t throw them away!  By using samples of your favourite designs you can completely transform you piece of furniture into something contemporary and brand new.  Once again click the pin below for how to do this for yourself. 

Upcycling With Peel and Stick Wallpaper

Peel and stick wallpaper is the perfect no-mess solution to wallpapering.  It has an easy to apply, peel and stick design which negates the need for wallpaper paste or glue, saving time and mess!  This also means that it can be repositioned during hanging to ensure that you have the perfect fit.  Another bonus is that the paper peels off in full sheets and leaves no residue meaning that it is easy to remove if you fancy a change.

Wallpaper Your Staircase

Have you ever thought about wallpapering your staircase? No? Well it’s not as crazy as it sounds!  The interior designs industry is seeing a growing trend in this practice with people personalising and styling their home with unique and contemporary staircase designs.  One great way to ‘upcycle’ your staircase in this way is with a peel and stick wallpaper.  Take a look at the photo below.  In this image our NuWallpaper Beachwood Peel and Stick Wallpaper by Fine Decor is used to create a fresh and airy feel to the hall and stairs.  The design features a realistic wood effect in blue, green and grey tones.  To test the design for yourself you can order a sample here.

Upcycled Bedroom Furniture

Another handy use for peel and stick wallpaper is to upcycle old bedroom furniture and storage units such as dressers, wardrobes and bookcases.  We have a great range of peel and stick designs which you can access on our site which are ideal for this purpose.  The great thing about upcycling in this way is that it is quick, easy, mess free and doesn’t come with long drying times or the strong smell that you get with paint.  For this reason it is ideal for nursery furniture.   One of our favourite designs for nurseries is the adorable NuWallpaper Elephant Parade Peel and Stick Wallpaper below.

For a how-to guide on upcycling a dresser in this way take a look at the video below.

Tiling on a Roll Oblong Granite Tile

This month we have brought in a range of designs from the latest wallpaper trend in tiling on a roll which we are going to explore in this article.  Instead of spending huge amounts of time applying individual tiles, a tile effect wallpaper saves you time and effort and is ideal for every room in the house including bathrooms and kitchens.  The first of the designs is this Oblong Granite Tile Wallpaper.  In four colourways, each of the colours features varying tones of the colour with beautiful glitter highlights on some of the tiles.

Tiling on a Roll Trellis Tile

When it comes to decorating kitchens and bathrooms, this glitter infused wallpaper is the answer to a chic and contemporary style.  Available in stone and grey, this design features a repeating trellis tile effect with some of the tiles containing a shimmering glitter finish.  With an easier to hang, stylish straight match pattern, good light fastness and washable quality, what more could you want from a kitchen and bathroom wallpaper?

Tiling on a roll Chevron Tile

Feature walls are not only for bedrooms and living rooms, a well-placed accent wall in a kitchen and bathroom can really bring something extra to your home.  Whilst this Chevron tile on a roll range is great for decorating an entire room, the design is especially ideal as a trendy feature wall.  The wallpaper is available in four vibrant colours, teal, yellow, red and charcoal so there is plenty of choice to create your perfect kitchen and bathroom design.

Tiling on a Roll Wave Tile Wallpaper

This wave tiling on a role resembles a brick wall design with the individual tiles connected by a matte grouting.  The three colours all have glitter elements traced throughout their horizontal wave striped tiles for a three-dimensional contemporary effect.  As with the other tile designs, they don’t just have to be used in kitchens and bathrooms, these wallpapers make great accompaniments to living rooms, dining rooms and even bedrooms.  Why not consider using this wallpaper to create a feature wall alongside a plainer design to really emphasis the effect of the wallpaper.
