What is Textured Wallpaper?
Textured wallpaper is a type of wall covering designed to add tactile interest, dimension, and depth to walls. Unlike smooth wallpapers, textured wallpaper like grasscloth or textured vinyl incorporate raised patterns, three-dimensional effects, or embossed designs.
Some of the primary benefits of textured wallpaper include the following:
-
Delivers aesthetic appeal: Textured wallpaper adds sophistication, warmth, and depth.
-
Covers imperfections: Choosing a wallpaper with texture can help cover uneven wall surfaces or minor flaws.
-
Stands the test of time: Textured wallpapers are often thicker, more durable, and easier to clean than painted walls or non-textured papers.
-
Offers versatile design options: Textured wallpaper is suitable for a wide range of interior design styles, from traditional to ultra-modern, depending on the pattern you choose.
How To Style Textured Wallpaper
- Add Dimension: Textured wallpaper interacts with natural and artificial light sources to cast small shadows and create tactile dimension. You can use grasscloth or textured vinyl wallpaper to infuse character into your space and create a unique visual effect. Highlight depth by incorporating soft lamp lighting to create dynamic shadows.
- Create an Accent Wall: Installing a textured wallpaper on just one wall or area of a room can create a unique visual style. Consider using a textured wallpaper with a bold, colorful design to act as an eye-catching accent wall.
- Increase Contrast in a Room: Style your textured wallpaper with smooth or modern elements to add contrast to your space. Opt for sleek, minimalist furniture and metallic décor to complete your contrasting interior design.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can textured wallpaper hide imperfections?
Yes, textured wallpaper is much more effective at hiding imperfections than paint or flat wallpaper. Textured wallpaper not only conceals bumps on the wall itself, but it’s also less likely to become noticeably scuffed or damaged over time.
Is textured wallpaper old fashioned?
Not necessarily! Because textured wallpaper was initially popular in the 1960s and 1970s, some worry that it may appear outdated when incorporated into modern spaces. However, it all depends on how you style it. Mitchell Black’s textured wallpaper collection has a wide range of styles and designs, from retro to contemporary.
If you want to lean into the nostalgic vibe, pair your wallpaper with 70s-inspired décor, such as shag rugs, felt furniture, and deep orange, green, and brown hues. For a more modern look, opt for a neutral color palette, abstract black and white wall art, and sleek furniture with clean lines.
How do I clean textured wallpaper?
The best way to clean your textured wallpaper depends on the specific material. With grasscloth wallpaper, for example, water and standard cleaning products should generally be avoided. Instead, use a small handheld vacuum or clean rag to remove dust and debris.
Other materials such as vinyl, are more water-resistant and can typically be cleaned with a soft rag or sponge and warm soapy water. However, regular dusting should be more than enough to keep your wallpaper clean.
