Give your home distinct flair and drama with the use of wallcoverings. It is a unique and more custom look than paint and a great way to achieve a specific style. Wallcovering is an amazing decorative material you can apply to your interiors for an instant upgrade.

A popular use of wallcovering is through subtle texture. Textures, such as silk, grasscloth, raffia and hemp give the walls depth and interest. Bedrooms are a great space to incorporate using a textured wallcovering, giving the room a serene and cozy environment.

Wallcovering has been around for centuries, but new technology has taken this classical decorative material to a whole new level. Between the different types of patterns, textures and its own content, today you have thousands of options. It is being used in all areas of the home: living and dining rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, niches and even ceilings.

Vinyl Wallcoverings

Due to new technologies, vinyls are now almost perfect imitations of natural materials. For example, grasscloth, which is a sensible material not recommended for heavy traffic areas, can be found in vinyl, and it looks stunning!

Phillip Jeffries is one of our favorite vendors because of its large selection of vinyl. And trust us, do not fear that these products look like plastic because that couldn’t be farther from the truth.

Designers love to use vinyl in bathrooms and other humid areas in the house. It’s the perfect way to create a cozy space without risking the wallpaper getting ruined because of water damage.
