Relish This: Marvelous Metallics

Katie — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 06:24:44 +0000

Metallics are everywhere in interior design – in accessories, paint colors, hardware and even furnishings. And believe it or not, your walls can benefit from a little luxurious luster, too. In fact, metallic patterns and finishes are popping up all over the well-designed wallcovering scene. With a nod to its ’70s roots and a touch of modern styling, metallic wallpaper is both old and new at the same time. Why not give this daring yet dazzling trend a try in your own home? Here are a few of our favorite metallic wallcoverings right now.

With countless new styles and innovations in its design, wallpaper is making a beautiful comeback. According to the Wallcoverings Association, several factors have contributed to its rebirth, including advances in digital technology and the availability of eco-friendly choices.

A movement away from minimalist interiors has allowed homeowners to explore color and texture on their walls for a more decorative, visually interesting look. Wallpaper is one of the best (and easiest!) ways to spruce up a room and give it an entirely different look. Make a design statement with these new cool, fresh patterns that are sure to revitalize your spaces.

Advances in digital imaging and printing have introduced a new perspective into the traditional field of wallcoverings, bringing new life to the designs that are available today. In addition, many new wallpapers are made with 100 percent natural fibers and low- or no-VOC, water-based inks, so they are as earth-friendly as they are lovely. York Wallcoverings’ CLD Pure Collection features breathable, mold-resistant and non-woven varieties and are created with natural fibers that are harvested from managed forests and synthetic fibers used in tea bags and coffee filters.
