Wallpaper is having a major moment. With lockdowns throughout the world people have been getting handy and deciding to do those long awaited home improvements themselves. Pinterest pinning, instagram following every trend imaginable for your home interior has brought one to the forefront: wallpaper. No longer reserved for a feature wall, everyone is going bold, ceilings, full rooms, panel inlays, you name it wallpaper has got you covered.

Ceiling wallpaper:
The newest trend is wallpapering your ceiling. If you have a great ceiling height and want to keep the walls plain then this may be the fun trend for you. Adding drama up high may sound drastic, and it may not be for everyone but if you are up for something a bit quirky then why not!

Effects wallpaper:
If you are wanting to add some period charm, a rustic feel or a textural element then some effects wallpaper may be the right choice for you. You can have pretty much any effect possible in a wallpaper: without the hassle of having to learn how to frame a wall - just fake it!

Removable wallpaper:
This is the best for people in rented accommodation or those that change their minds frequently. Removable wallpaper is basically giant stickers that you plop on your wall that promise to not damage the walls when removed. There is a great selection available and all easy to hang by yourself.
Full room wallpaper:
For the bold take a victorian trend and make it modern. The whole room in one paper is very 'of the minute' currently and some even paper the ceiling. Cole & Son have used this technique in their recent campaigns with great effect. Make sure your room can 'take it' though as if not it could be very overwhelming and you could feel like you are in a patterned box. Another top tip would be to keep the furniture and accessories to a minimum.

Kitsch & Cute:
Fun and quirky wallpaper that adds a smile to your face. Ideal for kids rooms, an office or anywhere else you want to add some light hearted charm. It may not last your mood every year, so better to keep this in an area you just want to add a little splash of fun.
