Waverly’s Paintable Wallpaper
Increases Decorating Options

Wallpaper has long been a favorite decorating tool, chosen for its ability to add character and architectural interest to a space as well as for the ease with which it can conceal flawed surfaces. But these attributes are only useful if the color and pattern of the paper suits the room’s decorating scheme. Now there’s a new option that allows you to add character and texture to walls, and easily conceal any flaws at the same time, and do it with paper in the color of your choice. It’s Waverly’s new Paintable Options wallpaper!

This new decorating tool from Waverly opens up a world of exciting design possibilities. There are more than 30 different textural surfaces from which to choose, ranging from traditional to contemporary styles. The squares, waves, herringbone and striated effects seen here are just a small sample of the available textures.

The easy to hang papers use a paste-the-wall technique. Once the paper is in place, simply paint the “textured” surface in a color that complements – or contrasts – with the furnishings. The texture of the paper will create interesting high/low effects and shadows on its own but you can produce even greater tonal contrast by using faux painting techniques such as lightly wiping down the raised area of the design, leaving the recessed areas with a deeper color for added depth.

You can further customize your space by using multiple textures and colors. To set off a specific area within a larger room, choose a distinctly linear design and apply the paper in a different direction here. Or, for a change of pace, choose a stucco-like texture and apply it just to the ceiling or walls.

Yet another option is to take advantage of the textural surface of the paper while leaving it in its natural bright white state. The paper can easily be used on walls or ceiling as is, no painting necessary, and the visual effect adds a unique dimension to the space.
