The Wallpaper Revolution

Wallpaper has been trying to claw it’s way into modern interiors for a while now. I have had to strip too much wallpaper off of old walls to be a fan of the stuff, but I have to admit that lately it’s starting to look a little sweeter. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not about to go hog wild and start wallpapering all my walls, but I do think that there are some good ones out there that could be appropriate in certain situations. For example the Graham and Brown wallpaper shown here is a vinyl that can be used over old paneling, cinderblocks, cracked walls, and it’s completely paintable. Best of all it comes in around $1.80 a square foot. Maybe I’ve had it wrong all along. Maybe instead of stripping all that wallpaper off I should have just been covering it with more…. If you can’t beat them join them right?

Available from Design Public for $30 a roll.

    I share your fear/dread of wallpaper, yet I’m already brainstorming how I could use this one in our house. I love it!

    When we first moved in to our current home, every single friggin wall had wallpaper on it (and very high-end at that, but it was still WALLPAPER), and I’ve managed to remove probably 75 percent of it over the past six years. Then what did I recently do? Put up more wallpaper, albeit of the paintable variety, because one wall I removed wallpaper from was bare sheetrock, and I didn’t want to go through the hassle of texturing it. And it looks AWESOME. I’m totally sold on the paintable wallpaper now.
