That's because the walls are completely encrusted in glass beads. Wallcovers That Do More Than Just Cover Walls Textured and three-dimensional wallpaper are among the fastest growing of all residential wallcovers. Ron Blunt for The Wall Street Journal Handmade wallpaper from Ronald Redding has a traditional trellis pattern, and has metallics woven in. Desiring a look that was "sophisticated but with a little whimsy," Ms. Stein, a 41-year-old mother of three, called in interior designer Annie Mahoney to spruce up the previously neglected room. Ms. Mahoney chose a three-dimensional wallpaper called Bianca Beadazzled by Maya Romanoff, a designer who has been creating textured papers since 1969. "The light hits the surface in different ways, it creates a kind of a magical feeling," Ms. Mahoney says. As wallpaper enjoys a revival in popularity, embellished papers are a particularly bright spot. Sales of three-dimensional wall coverings are the fastest growing of all residential wallpapers, according to the Wallcoverings Association, a trade group that represents more than 60 manufacturers and distributors. The industry is projecting an increase in sales of residential tactile, dimensional and embellished wallpapers of more than 21% by 2013, according to market-research firm Freedonia Group. Global sales of wallpaper have gone up 30% over the past five years. Wallpaper can be embellished with recycled windshield glass, mica, even mother of pearl. Sometimes those elements are embedded in materials such as bamboo, suede and cork. The 3-D looks alter a room without the investment of, say, a structural renovation or major plasterwork. Textured wallcoverings generally range from about $40 to $1,000 per roll. Tactile wallcoverings used to be seen only in large-scale, commercial projects. Los Angeles-based manufacturer Astek Wallcoverings attributes the rise in glittering walls to enhanced technology. "Until recently, silkscreening was very expensive 6/28/11 9:59 PM Continued on next page 750 Linden Ave. York, PA 17405-5166 Tel: 717-846-4456 www.yorkwall.com The Wall Street Journal, continued Textured Wallpaper Stands Out - WSJ.com http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405270... and you needed large runs to make the numbers work," says Jeff Dey, Astek head of business development. Higher-quality digital printers and computer software mean the firm can create custom wall coverings as small as 1,000 square feet and still make money, Mr. Dey says. The firm's velvet-flocked wallpaper costs about $39 per roll. Brewster Wallcoverings, based in Randolph, Mass., has seen a five-fold increase in sales of embellished grasscloth wallcoverings in the past five years. "With more materials available today, consumers are experimenting," says Paula Berberian, the company's creative services manager. "We're moving away from minimalism, especially in the younger markets, where consumers are looking at pattern and sparkle to make a bold statement." Gina Shaw, vice president of product development at York Wallcoverings, the oldest and one of the largest wallpaper manufacturers in the U.S., sees the trend as a result of better adhesive materials and printing machinery. Consumers also like its variable nature, she says. Swarovski Elements Wallpaper Feather Light: A Swarovski Elements paper with synthetic flock feathers. Interior designers suggest using particularly bold textures as accent walls. George Lambros Roughed Up: a hemp covering in henna by Maya Romanoff. New technology means grasscloth walls, all the rage in the 1940s, are back and available in many colors. "The tactile surfaces bring in a different visual aspect to wallcoverings because the light play changes with the time of day," Ms. Shaw says. She noticed the popularity of grasscloth a few years ago and says the trend now has moved to glitter, sand, printed cork and mica sheets. The technology to create grasscloth wallcoverings first emerged in the 1940s, when it was popular in kitchens, though modern versions include thinner cuts of bamboo with mylar, gold, and Swarovski crystals woven in. The roots of tactile wallpaper go back further. "Stanford White had bamboo glued to the walls of his summer house, and Marcel Proust had cork on the walls in his bedroom," says Charles Riley, a New York interior designer, who recently incorporated embedded beads and strategically placed pearls into the wallpaper of homes in Englewood, N.J., and San Francisco. "It's a high-glam look, and it starts to approach an architectural treatment of a space," he says. Swarovski Crystals, which has been offering its gems to wallcovering manufacturers for a few years, is getting in on the game itself. The Wattens, Austria-based company recently launched its Elements wallcovering collection. Set to arrive in the U.S. later this year, the line of mica, crystal, and Geode, which mimics the look of crushed quartz, has been a huge success, says Christoph Kargruber, vice president of global marketing, since its March debut in Europe. Prices range from $800 to $2,100 to paper a 10x10-foot wall. The papers can be overwhelming, and decorators underscore the importance of incorporating shimmery and 3-D surfaces only onto small areas, such as accent walls and powder 2 of 4 6/28/11 9:59 PM Continued on next page 750 Linden Ave. York, PA 17405-5166 Tel: 717-846-4456 www.yorkwall.com The Wall Street Journal, continued Textured Wallpaper Stands Out - WSJ.com http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405270... rooms—or to the ceiling for a subtle effect. Mr. Riley notes the look is a style commitment, as it is more work to switch it out after a season or two than a painted surface. "Maybe you'll like it in five or 10 years" he says. "Maybe you'll change it out." Most designers agree that these embellished papers, even those with high dimension and serious sparkle, mesh well with the modern and mid-century furniture designs that have been so popular in recent years, adding a layer of richness that doesn't clash with the minimalism. To clean textured wallcoverings, grasscloth manufacturer Phillips Jeffries Ltd. recommends vacuuming walls with a soft brush attachment, though the Fairfield, N.J.-based company says that textured wallpaper is more forgiving of dirt than flat paint. Interior designer Ms. Mahoney agrees: "Paint shows handprints, dings, etc., while a textured wallpaper will show far less." She adds that many wallpapers are treated with a stainrepellant finish. Thibaut Designs Midas Touch: a metallic gold paper by Thibaut Designs. Some 3-D wallpapers appear to change as sunlight moves and reflects off them during the day. Echo Design Touchable Texture: A leaf grasscloth wallpaper from Brewster Wallcoverings. Designers recommend experienced wallpaper-hangers. "Because the papers are so heavy, you really need someone who knows what he is doing," Mr. Riley says. Home improvement retailer Lowe's, on the other hand, feels differently. It says most of its customers are prepared to hang these papers themselves. "To meet our customers' evolving demand for trend-forward wallpaper styles, all of Lowe's in-stock wallpaper now offer textured and embellished features," says a spokeswoman for the company. She notes that raffia, stucco, and grasscloth with mica and other shimmery embellishments are rapidly gaining popularity. Marketers for Lowe's say that DIY is an option for these types of papers, though most designers agree that matching corners can be tricky. Lowe's 3-D wallcoverings start at $42 to cover a 10x10-foot wall.

Martin Ramin for The Wall Street Journal A metallic-beaded paper from Astek Wallcoverings. For the dining room, her interior decorator, Carey Jacobs, chose a handmade Ronald Redding paper with a traditional trellis pattern, but with metallics woven in to add some shimmer and dimension. Ms. Jacobs says using dimensional wall coverings creates enough visual interest that homeowners should go light on accessories or art. "The paper becomes the focal point, and you get a lot of value for such a small investment," Ms. Jacobs says.

Used on focal walls, on accent pieces or the entire room, if you’re gutsy enough, wallpaper has the power to take a room from blah to beautiful. By Lori Buick Colour Pattern Ecuador wallpaper in Pink with printed fabric in Pink and Orange from the new Avalon collection by Thibaut, thibautdesign.com Augustine 7733-269 from the AJA collection, available through Crown Wallpaper & Fabrics, crownwallpaper.com Wallpaper designers consult colour trends to create fresh designs, too. For 2011, Pantone named Honeysuckle its Colour of the Year. Here, shades of orange and pink mix well to create bright, bold impact. Other top 2011 colours that have made their way into wallpaper designs are all shades of purple and blue, retro greens, dark grays, and metallic gold. Wallpaper patterns have come full circle since Grandma’s day when ornate florals, damasks and tapestry-like scenes graced the walls of Victorian parlours, mainly as backdrops. Now, similar designs have been updated to make a statement in the 21st-century home. Shown here, a minimalist wheat design is a fresh take on patterns from yesteryear.

Eco Advancements Authentique Sparse 45765 by Prime Walls. 20 JUNE/JULY 2011 Wallpaper manufacturers know it isn’t just the beauty factor that makes wallpaper appealing, they recognize that people want to make socially responsible decisions when it comes to adding new design elements to their homes. Many manufacturers have taken steps to reduce their environmental impact during the production process, use timber from sustainably managed forests, and have committed to using solvent-free, water- based inks and low- or non-VOC emitting products which meet environmental standards. Taking it one step further, Prime Walls offers a Reclamation Program where old wallcovering of any origin is recycled. After receiving the materials, Prime Walls analyzes the material to determine if it can be reproduced into new wallcovering or recycled into other products.

Why Now? We’re in the midst of a wallpaper revival wherein, according to the Wallcoverings Association, consumer behavior patterns, style trends and economic factors have all overlapped to create the current renaissance. Pendulum Swing in Design The movement away from severe minimalist interiors gives way to a more fanciful, decorative and comfortable look. Here pattern-layering and rule-breaking are encouraged. Dramatic Digital Design Advances in digital technology, both imaging and printing, bring a new design perspective and innovation to a highly traditional category. Design-Savvy Consumers Consumers have grown more confident about design and are willing to experiment, mixing styles and eras to create truly personalized interiors. Eco-Friendly Choices Many papers are made of 100 per cent natural fibres; almost all are made with low VOC, water-based inks. Defining Spaces The fast-and-furious construction boom of the last decade left us with a mix of open-plan and boxy rooms, lacking in architectural detail. Wallpaper adds structure, depth and character to cookie-cutter rooms. Good Investment On average, residential wallcoverings have a life span of 10 years, whereas paint has about a three-year life span. Easy-Hang Wallpapers Once perceived as labour-intensive and an irreversible decorating commitment, wallpaper is now simpler to hang and remove, and even less messy and timeconsuming than paint. The new easy-hang wallpapers are known as non-wovens and high-performance wallpapers. wallcoverings.org The Perfect Fit ROLLOUT will design to your request and digitally print custom wallpapers to fit your space.

Rollout has also begun applying their designs to a variety of fabrics, glass floor and wall tiles, custom giftwrap, and more. rollout.ca Texture is Where It’s At While traditional designs on wallpaper were made to mimic the look of texture, wallpaper manufacturers have actually started to add real texture to papers with applications of sand and recycled glass beads. These designs reflect light, with a subtle sparkle and shimmering effect.
