Metallic wallpaper
Metallic wallpaper is a relatively new type of design that is a huge hit with interior designers around the world. It features a metallic-look, most commonly in a gold, bronze or silver colour. Metallic wallpaper work well if you want to create an eye-catching feature wall in a room such as a bedroom or dining room.
Bold floral wallpaper
While floral wallpaper has been around for a while, this summer's top trends have bold, modern deigns. Choose bright colours that perfectly accentuate the decor of the room that you will be placing the floral wallpaper into. Because of the intricate and loud nature of this type of wallpaper, it usually works best when affixed only on to one feature wall.
Geometric designs
Geometric prints are on-trend this summer. Add some modern chic to you home with large scale prints that can transform a room from drab to dreamy. A top tip is to keep other room features simple and understated, so that the wallpaper does all of the talking.
Oriental inspiration
Many wallpaper styles are taking inspiration from the East. Check out the soft cherry blossom inspired prints that will add a feminine touch to the bedroom. Other oriental inspired wallpapers feature birds, lanterns, and Japanese foliage.
Marbled wallpaper
Fun and fluid, marbled wallpaper designs work well in grand manor houses, as well as in cute cottages. Marbled wallpaper can be used in any room in the home, but it works particularly well in bathrooms. It's a full-on design, so again make sure that you keep the rest of the room clutter-free for the best results.
