Recently, growing trend among home owners is vintage design wallpaper. This type of wallpapers includes reproduction of patterns that used to be printed between the 1939s and the 1970s. A vintage design wallpaper can take you on a trip to the past just buy entering the room in which they are hanged while including the all the high-tech features of a modern wallpaper.
Here is a list of some of my favourite vintage wallpaper designs that have also stood the test of time and will continue to be trendy for many years to come.
- Floral Prints are the wallpapers you probably remember from your grandparent’s house. There are so many vibrant floral wallpaper prints that can add freshness to your home.
- Geometric prints on the other hand have this groovy 70s vibe and they are a perfect choice for fun loving people who aren’t afraid to mix things up a little.
- Polka dots can look both modern and vintage, depending on what size and colour you pick. Larger dots with more colours have more of a modern feel, but if you are going for vintage you should choose uniform dots with no more than two colours.
- Stripes are a pattern that will never go out of style. The come in so many variations and you can achieve the look of practically any style throughout history.
- Brick wallpapers probably don’t quite fit this list, but actual brick wall design is a classic look and with today’s printing techniques they can be made to look so realistic that they are a great alternative to building a real brick wall.
