Wallpaper has come a long way since the velvet-flocked psychedelic nightmare that adorned the walls of my 1970s childhood. Digital wallpaper sees the application of technology to 21st-century homes, allowing any image to be enlarged and printed, ensuring that our choice of wall covering is limited only by our imagination.
When it’s grey and gloomy outside, why not relax in the sun-kissed lavender fields of Provence or bathe beneath the beauty of Venezuela’s Angel Falls? The Manchester United team might line out on your son’s bedroom wall, while the catwalks of Milan’s fashion week might brighten up those of his sister. The possibilities are limitless. Exclusive Irish distribution rights for digital wallpaper are held by Kilkenny-based Imagine Wallpaper. It comes in metre-wide strips, can be wiped clean and is UV stable. Crucially, it is easy to install and remove. With a price tag of €250 per square metre, including installation and formatting, you may decide to cover just one feature wall – but think of the wow factor.
