Wallpapers… We’ve Come a Long Way, Baby! (Part 2 – Texture)

Many modern wallpapers now give the appearance of a textured finish. Some of the finishes that were once reserved for textiles or faux finish painting can now be achieved through the use of clever wallpaper creations. The options are seemingly endless! For instance, take a look at wallpaper designer, Phillip Jeffries! He even has a quilted pattern that looks “oh so Coco Chanel!” Phillip Jeffries - Black Quilted Lacquer wallpaper Looks like this Chanel bag Lauren Conrad is carrying, doesn’t it?! And how about wallpapers that look like metal…. even gold leaf with verdis?! Really!? Jeffries even makes a paper that looks like the steel in this refrigerator or the copper in this range hood!

Here are some lacquered walls that wallpaper can now mimic. Photo via Decor Pad. Another company that produces some amazing textural wallpapers is Thibaut. In fact, they have a series of books called Texture Resource. Some of Thibaut’s textures include basket weaves… Thibaut’s Banyan Basket wallpaper …Leathers (that remind me of this FAB Hancock & Moore glider, by the way!)….

Silks are also a lovely choice for wallpaper texture… Here is a gorgeous room featured in House Beautiful that showcases a textured wallcovering by Phillip Jeffries… Regardless of the choice of wallpaper texture, there is no doubt that adding a pattern creates movement and interest in a space!
