Textured Wallpaper – Add A Whole New Dimension To Your Room

Tuesday, February 19th, 2013

Textured wallpaper is a wallcovering that is either embossed, raised or has a rough texture to it. The designs available in textured wallpaper are endless with everything from raised patterns to incorporating swarovski crystals.

Anaglypta wallpaper is heavily textured and designed to be painted. It’s great to use on ceilings for example where you want to achieve a pressed metal look.

Some textured wallcoverings can look like an optical illusion whereas others just have a lovely feel to them but help create visual interest. Sometimes it’s nice to have a bit of depth to your walls instead of the same plain colour throughout.

There are so many types of textured wallpapers, some made of bamboo, grass weave, raised textures with metallic highlights, some are made to look like stone or bricks.

An advantage of using a wallcovering that has a nice texture to it is that it will cover up any slight imperfections in your walls.

Another huge decorating trend at the moment is the use of “faux texture” wallpaper. These papers are amazing and look just like the real thing. They produce everything from old factory brick walls and whitewash bricks to old rustic wood paneling and weathered boards. New technology in printing has allowed companies to print photorealistic images onto paper which has opened up endless possibilities when it comes to decorating our homes. Now like never before we are able to quickly create a warehouse industrial look or a rustic vintage look. The two below brick designs are from Kemra Wallpaper, an Australian design company.
