Wall Art

Clive Daniel Home’s Encinitas wall paper.

For this living room, Clive Daniel Home’s designer Nubia Rosa selected a vivid crystalline mural print custom-created by Clive Daniel Home. But because of the design’s impact, she decided to scale the wallpaper down and use it as an artistic statement. “My client loved this print, but it was a bit too large for the space. So, we had it made as artwork. People don’t realize wallpaper can be customized in almost any way,” she said.

For much of the past decade the focus has been to remove wallpaper, but now with innovations to customize, and make it more like artwork … wallpaper is back with a vengeance.

It is a quick and easy way to reinvent a space, make bold statements with colors and patterns or to give a space a more subdued and textural feel.

“Wallpaper has been around for centuries, but the materials and patterns now available are technically advanced and visually striking,” said Nubia Rosa, an interior design for Clive Daniel Home. “From textural grass cloths to digital murals and custom prints, the options are endless.”

Today, wallpaper, with its offering of more geometric, textural and intricate designs, can give any interior an extra dose of panache.

And although painted walls may be rich and beautiful, wallpaper tells a story that paint can’t.

Wallpaper is what gives the space its polish.
