faux – wallpaper trends

From Habitat plus - wallpaper

Through advances in digital technology, papers are replicating stone, timber, brick, tiles and more with a life-like sharpness.

If your building's materials can’t deliver, never fear. Want the look New York-style loft? No problem. A weathered European villa? Wallpaper has it covered.

This trend started with striking faux timber and brick effects but has since gone on to more sophisticated and subtle renderings, replicating effects like colourwashed concrete walls, granite, crumpled paper, flaking paint and steel panels. The wallpapers are so hyper-real, you need to touch them to discover that they're not what they seem. You can see why they've earned the term 'conversational' designs.

Please place your wallpaper orders allowing plenty of time as there may be delays and some items may be unavailable. Samples are available in selected designs. Ask our Resene ColorShop team for assistance. Please view your favourites in store.
