Textures
Wallpaper can be an excellent way to inject rich texture into a space. Modern wall coverings have come a long way in terms of creating an eye pleasing and unique aesthetic. Textured wall papers can create a mood and character in a room that cannot be accomplished through any other medium. Wall coverings now come in textures ranging from the subtle but elegant grass cloth options, to a more traditional looking embossed wallpaper, to the ultra modern textured geometrics that are pushing the limits of what a "wallpaper" means.

Geometric
Geometric wall papers are a popular and bold choice that look great in many different spaces. A geometric pattern in a high contrast black and white can have a high impact. Whereas a softer more subtle color palette or pattern can impart interest to an elegant space. Colorful geometric wall coverings keep things playful and fun!

Whimsical wall papers can convey a sense of playfulness for someone looking for a lighthearted aesthetic. These wall coverings are fantastic in nurseries/kids rooms or in a quirky, eclectic space. They are perfect for powder rooms where you can have fun and get creative in a small space that guests frequent.
Avant Garde
Some wall papers are really pushing the design limits. These wall coverings impart the latest looks in a very interesting way. Unusual patterns and themes will keep spaces looking ultra hip and modern.
