Let Your Walls Talk

One of the ways in which you can showcase your personality is through wallpaper. Just as vintage clothes are an expression of you, wallpaper is also back in style. What's new is that material and selections now reflect the modern age.

Wallpaper can transform a room in ways that paint cannot.

Wallpaper adds depth, design elements and dimension to any room. It also creates a focal point that inspires conversation.

Whether the mood you want is fun with something wacky but stimulating or beautifully classic, with wallpaper you can transform a room's look without altering the space.

Importantly for many, it is less expensive that new furniture!

There are so many options from which to choose: fabrics, grass cloth, cork, metallic and flocked, in addition to conventional paper and vinyl. The effects you can achieve are limitless!

This is where professional interior design skills can be useful. I can suggest whether you should cover just one wall for an accent and create the drama you want through wallpaper without making a major commitment in time and money. I save you time by listening to what you want and narrowing the choices as there are so many.

If you find a design you like, chances are you will like it on your wall. Unlike paint, however, you can't just paint over it. It will be more tedious and costly to remove.
