I have always been a fan of wallpaper… It has so much more personality than paint and can really make a ho-hum room come alive and feel more elegant. It adds a layer of sophistication, if you will.
It truly transforms a room like nothing else and quickly defines ones' style. Depending on the pattern selected, wallpaper can make any sort of statement to reflect your style. A softer palette can creating a calming effect while something more bright will add energy to the space. Many people tend to think of wallpaper as old-fashioned…In my opinion, nothing could be farther from the truth. I have used it in every house I have ever owned… even having the walls one my houses almost 100% covered. (I still think of it as one of my favorites!)
Honestly, I am not sure why people factor wallpaper in general into the "trend" category…In my opinion, it is a classic execution of design. Like anything design related, the popularity of things ebb and flow…. And while I have never stopped using it, thankfully, those who are in charge of setting the trends have declared that wallpaper is making a HUGE comeback!
Here are some of my favorite examples of absolute wallpaper gorgeousness!

For many people, the idea of committing to a wallpaper is scary… If it seems too much for you, try just wallpapering one wall for an accent.
Happy Monday!
I love each of these rooms, especially your dining room! Wallpaper is the best!
