Until a couple of years ago, normal or textured wallpaper was a thing of the past. It used to be something from our grandparents’ house. Or from a place that was decorated decades ago.

Nothing’s truer than the saying “everything comes back in style.” This is especially true in the decor world. Wallpaper is popular again and ready to give our homes a change of scene with a huge variety of options.

What is textured wallpaper?

Textured wallpaper is wallpaper with the addition of an embossed pattern that creates texture. With an embossed design, patterns look more realistic. You could say that it’s a newer spin-off of a classic element.

There is a wide variety of colors and designs. They range from subtle patterns to more flamboyant ones. Depending on how bold you’re willing to go, you can choose the one you want for all of your walls, or just one.

Wallpaper options are endless. That’s why we want to encourage you to try them out and freshen up your home with a new look.

Textured wall paper is common in living rooms, halls and entrances.

Furthermore, you can find wallpaper on any kind of budget as there are plenty of economical options available.

Of course, you’ll have to pay more for a wallpaper that has a more elaborate texture and design, but we know that you’ll find the perfect one for you and your wallet.

Textured wallpaper ideas

As we mentioned earlier in our post, there is an infinite number of texture and color options. Today, we’ll help you choose the right one. We’ll show you the different kinds, from the more bold options to the ones that stay in the background:

  • Naturals: wallpaper that has natural texture transports us to nature. Some examples include waves, flowers or leaves. If you go with natural textures, we recommend not covering all of your walls because there’s a thin line between reflecting nature and an overwhelming room. These kinds of wallpapers look perfect in bedrooms or, if you’re one of our readers who likes to take a risk, in bathrooms.
  • Geometric motifs: geometric wallpaper just might be the most classic kind out there. However, you can find a variety of textured geometrical wallpaper from delicate designs with warm tones to complex, geometric patterns with loud colors. Basically, there are lots of choices and geometric motifs can give you many possibilities.
  • Wood: textured wood wallpaper is extremely realistic, it can even feel similar to wood. Just as in the case of textured nature wallpaper, we recommend only covering one or two walls with this sort of wallpaper to keep it from overwhelming the space. Textured wood wallpaper could give your home that homey, cozy feel that it needs. In addition, just like real wood, you can choose from a number of colors and textures.
  • Brick: textured brick wallpaper is perfect for creating an underground or rustic ambiance. It’s much easier on the wallet than using real brick. In many situations, brick isn’t even an option. Using normal wallpaper with a brick pattern could look unconvincing but textured wallpaper is very realistic and makes the wall into something really beautiful.
