Everything old is new again, and historic wallpaper patterns are no different. Brand new classics are making a comeback in leaps and bounds. Bold floral patterns, beautiful block printings, toiles, and damasks. These and many more period-style wallpaper patterns are resurfacing in quality, easy to install and easy to care for wallpapers.

Old Installations

In the recent past, when one would think of wallpaper from days gone by, they would instantly recall images of the terrible time installing it would usually conjure up, of buckets of paste and water, which would usually result in the half hazard application of this mixture to the paper and then the whole assembly to the wall. As one strip of paper would be adhered to the wall, oftentimes the previous one would already be falling. It was quite a process, and once paper was actually in place, it would stay on the walls for years, until someone else came along brave enough to try to install new. When remodeling an old house, it is not in the least bit uncommon to uncover layer upon layer of previous wallpaper installations.

Easy to Install

Today, manufacturers have created wallpaper in some of these same glorious patterns, but constructed as to be easily installed, easily cleaned, and easily removed. Some borders have even been made that replicate these vintage patterns, but are peel-and-stick so they can be easily applied, removed, and reapplied if so desired.
