How to Choose the Perfect Modern Organic Wallpaper for Your Home
First Consider the Design of Your Organic Modern Wallpaper
Looking for spa like tranquility in a yoga room? Maybe an energetic workout room is more your speed? Perhaps you’re searching for the perfect wallpaper for an entry with modern organic decor? Or even a fun and colorful space like a kid’s room. The organic wallpaper you select can elevate or establish the mood, so begin by envisioning the desired ambiance for your living space.
For a serene and calming effect, opt for organic modern style with soft colors like whites, ivory, pastels or neutral colors. Natural textures are wonderful in this setting. To encourage relaxation, try to avoid loud contrasting colors or patterns. Also nontoxic wallpapers in greys, off-whites, and blues evoke a chill experience.
To add some pizazz and glam to a space, opt for iridescent capiz shells, metallic cork or elegant wood veneer wallcoverings. Even dark and moody basketweave organic wallpapers can infuse modern organic elegance that makes a glamorous statement.
How to Choose Wallpaper Color?
Dive into the spectrum of natural colors with modern organic wallpaper. Synthetic versions of these natural materials simply can't mimic the true colors from nature. From soothing greens and deep browns to vibrant blues and understated beiges. These shades are drawn straight from mother earth.
Greens symbolize growth and renewal. Hues like moss, olive, and grass green bring authenticity to your decor. Browns and beiges are inspired by tree bark and natural fibers like sisal and hemp. They create a warm, earthy base, perfect for any room. While greys, from light birch to weathered wood, add tranquility to your home.
Designer tips for choosing non toxic wallpaper
Looking to choose new organic modern wallpaper for your home? Start with identifying the focal point of your room. It could be a large window, a cozy fireplace, or even a piece of artwork. You can use the wallpaper to draw attention to this focal point.
Maybe instead you’re just wanting to jazz up a boring space! Try something like large geometrical patterns found in nature or a bold jungle leaf designs that add color and pop to an otherwise dull corner.
Introducing a wallpaper accent wall in a kid’s room is a wonderful opportunity to inspire creativity and fun through colorful patterns and whimsical designs. Go for a paper pattern with colors that are neutral, muted or pastel. Try to stay away from intense bold colors or busy patterns, so the wall remains an accent wall and not too overbearing or overstimulating. Patterns with animals or biophilic designs are always a great choice.
A note on peel and stick wallpaper
Remember if you’re looking for PVC free peel and stick wallpaper, make sure it’s also healthy in other respects. Be sure to do your research to make sure your non toxic peel and stick wallpaper is made with VOC free adhesives, water based inks and no PVC coatings or backings.
The best (and worst) places to install wallpaper
Bedrooms, living rooms, dining areas, powder rooms and offices are at the top of this list for amazing places to add modern organic wallpaper to your space. Avoid using organic wallpapers in high humidity areas like kitchens, laundry rooms and bathrooms. In well-chosen settings, your organic wallpapers enhance your home and promote a healthy environment. Of course, don’t use wallpaper coverings outdoors. Instead go for large pots or metal artwork to add style and character to lonely walls outdoors.
Our top wallpaper installation tips!
First, look at the walls in the room where you want to add wallpaper. Find walls that have an easy end point for your wallpaper to die into -- another words, where the wall meets at a ninety degree angle. You’ll want to avoid ending your wallpaper at doorways or where the walls wrap around a corner at 270 degrees.
Next, consider how permanent you want your wallpaper to be. Most natural wallpaper is removable via a term called ‘wet removable’. This means you can remove the wallpaper from the wall with water. There is also non toxic wallpaper that’s strippable, meaning chemicals are required to remove the wallpaper from the wall. The advantage over natural materials is these strippable wallpapers are washable with a wet rag and mild soap, should stains happen.

Non toxic wallpaper, in a nutshell
In a nutshell, natural wallpaper harmonizes well with various design styles—from Scandinavian to traditional style, and rustic ranch to ultra contemporary. To up your space, we recommend introducing natural elements like woven grasses, embossed tree bark, or wood veneer for your wallpaper design. Be sure to avoid wallcoverings with PVC laminates. PVC wallpaper that is touted as durable and stainproof can offgas harmful plastic fumes for many years. Also avoid wallpapers with already glued backings. Look for wallpapers that say “ready to glue” or “paste the paper.”
