The wallpaper’s material is made of a satin matte, which has a heavier feel and nice finish. We found this wallpaper to be one of the easiest to install, and we loved its depiction of an authentic Chinese dynasty garden, complete with rolling hills, pavilions, and dreamy, flowery trees. If you’re willing to go bold, we heartily recommend this gorgeous wallpaper, which stands out for its unique design, saturated colors, and ease of application. Some of the corners may need touching up with adhesive after a few months. Type: Unpasted | Size: 2.25 x 27 feet (60.75 square feet) | Material: Paper Even though this wallpaper is on the pricier side, we would definitely recommend it due to its durability, design, and quality. Plus, after putting it through our cleaning test, there was no leftover color or stains. After sticking it to the wall with wallpaper paste (this is unpasted wallpaper), we found that there was no bleeding of the glue and no lingering bubbles-even months after installation. While installing, we really liked how thick and smooth the wallpaper felt. You can choose to add a pop of color to your room with the bold navy or grove (green), or keep things more neutral with sky (very light blue), pink sand (very light pink), and mink (a light clay color). The delicacy of the watercolor combined with the simplicity of the vines results in a pattern that is more soothing than overwhelming. The botanical pattern present on the Priano Wallpaper is actually a copy of a watercolor piece the brand created in-house. We found this wallpaper from Serena & Lily to be beautiful, high-quality, and quite easy to install. The wallpaper paste can get a little messy to apply. In addition to Sandall, we also spoke to two more interior designers: Victoria Lee, owner and principal designer of Victoria Lee Interiors, and Rasheeda Gray, founder and lead designer of Gray Space Interiors. To help you make the most informed decision regarding wallpaper, we tested 30 different options in our Lab and evaluated them on value, durability, ease of application, and design. “I think it should make you smile every time you look at it,” she says. “Not only is wallpaper an investment in both time and money, once you’ve spent it, you’ll be living with it,” says Pamela Sandall, a Los Angeles-based interior designer. But that doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be treated as a serious design project-like installing sliding barn doors.

Wallpaper adds dimension, color, and the opportunity to play with bold patterns in your space without having to do any kind of renovation work-providing an easy and unexpected way to decorate a living room, for example. One of the greatest ways to dress up your white walls and ceilings is with wallpaper.
