In case you haven’t noticed, wallpaper is back and it appears here to stay. A signature staple in the 70’s, wallpaper later fell a bit of favor. Labeled “dated”, those looking for bold color, opted for painted accent walls instead of wallpaper. These days, wallpaper can be used in a variety of ways from residential to commercial settings and for many designers is the “go to” choice for bringing in graphics, prints and color.
