From its inception in China to its expansion across Europe during the Renaissance, wallpaper has grown into a diverse medium offering endless possibilities.

Today, we delve into its functionality, styling ideas, installation considerations, types, and design considerations. Whether you prefer bold or subtle designs, there's a wallpaper style to match every taste and interior design style, from traditional to contemporary.

In your very first image, the beautiful wallpaper is inspired by the World renowned Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus, who covered the walls of his home in botanical illustrations. We have his home not far from us, still preserved as it was in his time. 🌿

In the last year I have developed a mild obsession with William Morris textiles. Thank you for this video, it will help me in making my wallpaper selections for my home renovation.

If I was to do wall paper I’d do it as a drawer liner or maybe a subtle one behind a bookcase wall. I like a very delicate subtle black and white floral (outline) or a light blue and white ornamental design. Some of the murals today are nice like a foggy day with a tree. My guilty pleasure would be a strong waterfall mural surrounded by tree ferns.

Always a treat to watch. Suzie is a master. I prefer the more delicate wallpaper.

That wallpaper in niche was so pretty! Wallpapers are wonderful, grasscloth, a lovely choice .. large scale bold prints in small baths, while prints are gorgeous in other living spaces. I wasn't a fan of the red background shown. Too bold, too much in your face! Layers to paper, so interesting, I didnt know! This was a wonderful addition filled with great info. Thank you, Suzie ❤😘

[tonibaena]

I do enjoy watching your videos, as well as listening to the nice music!
Have a happy Easter Suzie! 😀🐣🪺💐🍓🥂

Just loved this video especially the room/wallpaper with the large window and all the topiaries. I just love topiaries and the yellow goldish wallpaper is my favorite. Thank you for this very pretty video.

I love wall papers in small rooms or corners in a house because they make us feel like entering in a tableau, une œuvre d’art, a 3 dimension creation 🎨🖼️💖
