The week is finally winding down, and this weekend should be
fun with Halloween parties, and Windsor’s family is in town
visiting. So tonight we took a little time to relax!
We watched Grey’s Anatomy and then decorated the HC office!
We fell in LOVE with these wall decals sent to us by www.
roommatespeelandstick.com -we used the “Growing Flowers”
design in our office.
Stay tuned for an upcoming post in our HC-Approved! blog

Sophisticated finishes
Texture adds a third dimension to many of today’s wallpapers.
Thibaut’s Allan says improvements in manufacturing
technology allow wallpaper to
have raised textures and embellishments that weren’t possible earlier.
As a result, many of the new
wallpapers enhance rather
than dominate a room. “Wallpaper used to be really ‘pay attention to me,’ ” she says. Now
it tends to play a supporting yet
glamorous role.

are popular, as are bits of bling
such as crystals and pearls. Metallics are big, too, but don’t be

now are more subtle, often

“It’s directly related to couture,” says LeRue Brown of
York Wallcoverings. “Wallpaper today is much closer to
runway fashion than ever before.”

designs are popular, as is grass
cloth, a classic look that’s making a comeback. It’s made of
reeds, bamboo and other natural grasses, Berberian says, so it
fits right in with people’s desire
to decorate with renewable
materials.
From a color standpoint,
Shaw says spa blues and greens
are strong, as are other Earthinspired shades. Brown remains popular, often paired
with brighter colors.
Handcrafting
’60s flashbacks
It’s a mod, mod world, at
least for the people who
missed the ’60s.
The bold geometrics, pop art
and bright colors that exemplified that groovy decade are in
big demand among younger
consumers, and that’s translating to wallpaper design. “It’s a
new look to them,” Berberian
notes.
Because many of the fans of
’60s design are young enough
to be decorating dorm rooms
or first apartments — or even
their tween or teen bedrooms
— the look is strong in lowerpriced, repositionable decals
such as Brewster’s Wall Pops
The renewed interest in
handmade goods is apparent in
wallpapers, too. Shaw thinks
it’s a result of the uncertain
economy, an appreciation for
things that are crafted thoughtfully and made to last.
Handmade wallpaper can be
pricey, but more mass-produced wallcoverings have the
look and feel of hand-crafting.
Berberian says many have
raised inks, which give the illusion of hand-printing. Asianinspired designs and line drawings or other simple motifs are
common, too.
Such wallcoverings often include layered colors and small
mistakes that make them appear handcrafted, Allan says.
Global influences
Our well-traveled society has
shrunk the planet and brought
the colors and designs of other
cultures to Western walls. African countries and India are
particularly strong influences
in wallcovering design and in
home decor in general, Berberian says.
You’ll see that in paisleys and
ikat designs, elongated geometric patterns originally used in
fabrics that have the appearance of having been stretched.

New materials are making it easier than
ever to put up wallpaper — and perhaps
even more important, take it down. If
you’ve struggled to peel off stubborn paper
that comes off in half-inch-wide strips, you
know the feeling.
Nonwoven materials are now being used as
substrates in many wallpapers, providing a
strong backing that comes off the wall in
one piece. It expands and contracts less
than traditional papers, so it’s also easier to
put up, says LeRue Brown of York
Wallcoverings.
Essentially the nonwoven products are
made of paper with a cloth backing, but
they’re lighter in weight and smoother than
older cloth-backed papers, says Ron
Baumberger, director of marketing,
applicators and decorative products at
Sherwin-Williams.
You can go to wallpaper manufacturers’
Web sites to search papers by theme or
design and narrow your choices, but before
you choose, experts say, request samples to
appreciate texture and color subtleties.
