This Or That: Wallpaper

As much as I like to try to spin this off that I am all about that home decor, I really have no idea what I am doing 80% of the time. To be frank with my readers, I am always confused most of the time. For instance, once I wanted to hang a few canvas-printed pictures of me on the walls. But I was not sure if I should go for aluminum photo prints or split canvas prints (both of which can be availed from the best uk canvas printer firm). I was so puzzled by the choices that I ended up not hanging anything on the wall.

This time, however, the confusion is regarding something else–my wallpaper. Honestly, I’ve always been wary about wallpaper, but that’s mostly because it has had such a bad rap after all these years. Wallpaper to me resembles the oddly colored striped panels that are found in old dying homes. Wallpaper also reminds me of those pink bunnies found in Uncle Jesse’s bedroom against a turquoise background.

This wallpaper pictured above though is what I call a standout piece. How amazing would it look in one of your living rooms? It adds so much depth to a room and personality. I’ve heard a lot about peel and stick wallpaper options that let you do something like this with their patterns already, so maybe it’s time to shake the distrust of wallpaper and go heads first into a project.

What do you think of this design? Does it seem modern and trendy to you, a cool standout against the normal decor you’d expect to find, a striking image against the standard cream white of other houses that seems impossible to escape? Or are you still unsure and wary of the idea that it’s wallpaper, and that sets off the distrust in you as it does for me? I’m going to consider working through my old stigmas about the stuff and see what happens next, but i’d love to hear from you all about it.
