Your Guide to Metallic Wallpaper

Your Guide to Metallic Wallpaper

Straight out of the 70s and into the 2020s, the shimmer and shine of metallic wallpaper have reinvented itself. With a chic twist to modern decorating, Wallshoppe offers a unique collection of Retro, Vintage-Inspired, and Graphic styles, all creatively designed by Carly Beck and Sarah Jessica Parker. By incorporating beautiful and lustrous metallic elements into unique patterns and colors, our talented designers have added sparkle and sophistication to your living space. Whether you’re looking for a subtle shimmer or a bold statement, metallic wallpaper adds glamor and excitement to any room. 

Wondering what metallic wallpaper is all about? It uses foil, glitter, or metallic ink to incorporate metallic finishes into the paper. These shiny elements add a unique depth to the wallpaper’s appearance and can be perfect for adding an unexpected touch of sparkle to almost any area. Accent walls, bathrooms, and hallways are great canvases for metallic wallpaper.

Because metallic wallpaper has a unique ability to brighten up a room, it sets it apart from traditional wallpaper. In contrast, it’s essential to consider lighting and how the sun will reflect in a particular space. If you’re considering metallic wallpaper for your next decorating project, think about how the angle and intensity of your lighting will affect the look you want to achieve. 

Metallic wallpaper is not only trendsetting but durable as well. With proper installation and care, it is designed to be an excellent investment for years to come. Unless you’re a seasoned Do-It-Yourselfer, consider hiring a reputable, professional paper hanger. Ask around for someone with good references and agree on a plan for how much to order, how it will be installed, and a working timeline from beginning to end. An experienced pro will help you decide on your best options and assure you it’s the right plan for your decorating project.

Once your fabulous new metallic wallpaper is glamming up your living space, know how to care for it. As with most wallpaper, clean it gently with a soft cloth or feather duster to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using water and spot clean only when necessary. Avoid scratches and scrapes, so be careful when hanging pictures and arranging furniture pieces close to the walls.
