Guest Picks: 20 Eye-Catching Wallpapers and Murals

http://www.decor-ideas.org 11/24/2013 11:10 Decor Ideas 

Wallpaper has made a comeback in the interior design world over the past few years. It was a design phenomenon during the ‘50s through the ‘80s, and then it turned absolutely uncool, but now it’s back — proving the unwritten rule that every trend comes back after a while. Over the past 20 years or so, the designs have evolved and adapted to new, contemporary tastes. They feature everything from natural-looking faux effects to graphic patterns in various colors to photographic wall murals.

Many dwellers opt for a feature wall, either painted in a certain color or wallpapered, and tastes range from soft hues to bold patterns and photographic images. Here is a selection of 20 hot designs for your happy walls at home. — Igor from Happy Interior Blog
