Contemporary home wallpaper encompasses a wide range of trends and wallpaper styles. These include wallpaper murals, floral wallpaper, geometric wallpaper, faux finish wallpaper, and abstract wallpaper. Contemporary wallpaper says, "I'm a leader in design and ahead with all the latest design trends." It sends off a high fashion and luxury interior design image - even in budget friendly projects.

Faux finish wallpapers are one major wallpaper trend with a range of styles, including faux animal wallpaper, faux leather wallpaper, and faux wood wallpaper.

The strong and graphic geometric home wallpaper trend can help create a sense of balance and symmetry in any interior. Trellis wallpaper, striped wallpaper, and illusionistic 3-dimensional wallpaper define this trend.

Wallpaper murals are the latest craze and allow complete customization. Digital murals are perfect feature walls - and it only takes one big gesture to create a bold and powerful design.

While contemporary wallpaper will help create and enhance contemporary interior design schemes, it is important to consider the space you are working with and the existing elements in the space and your home design as a whole. Ask yourself, "What is the existing style of my home? Is it contemporary interior design? Is it modern interior design? Or classic interior design?" "What other design elements already exist within the space?", and "What colours can be found within the existing interior design style of my home?"

While many elements of modern design are apparent in the contemporary design of today, modern home wallpaper design is different than contemporary home wallpaper styles and is reflective of the modern era featuring clean lines, unadorned interiors, and natural materials.

Remember how one-dimensional and simple those styles were in colour, pattern, and texture?
