Wallpaper, love it or hate it, it is here to stay. Only you won’t find anything that your grandmother would have used in the new modern papers.

Today’s papers are sophisticated, turning wallpaper into an artwork that stands on its own. People are looking for something that appeals to their modern design aesthetic.

Walnut Wallpaper opened in Hollywood in early 2005 with the goal of showcasing cutting edge wallpaper not found at typical retail wallcovering stores.

According to the NY Times last year when they featured Walnut, the wall paper rolls “which vary greatly in size, depending on where and how they are produced - are priced from about $30 to $2,500, most clustering around $150 a roll.”

They are beautiful, but as a home owner who has stripped off more than her fair share of wallpaper in her home I can’t get too excited knowing that one day the cool, hip factor of these wall coverings will look as dated as avocado green appliances.
