Inspiration Boost: create an industrial look with wallpaper

Have you always dreamt of living in an industrial-chic loft? These days it can be difficult and expensive to find a suitable property such as an old factory building, warehouse or abandoned workshop. If you’re looking for a faster and rather more budget-friendly way to achieve this dream, why not try using wallpaper to create an industrial look?

 

Lifelike wallpaper


Grandeco’s photographic wallpapers depict natural and well-worn materials that really are almost indistinguishable from genuine aged surfaces, actual scaffolding planks and real metal sheets on the wall. A great way to create an interior with a fabulously grungy and authentic character. The industrial motifs have a raw, robust look, but feel cheerful and characterful at the same time. Even better: wallpaper means you don’t have to deal with the drawbacks of a peeling and flaking industrial interior. Fancy a change after a little while? Not a problem!

 

1. Bricks, bricks and more bricks

An easy and affordable way to conjure up exposed brickwork is to decorate your walls with realistic brick wallpaper. With our brick wallpaper, your walls will look like they have been around for many years. These four photographic prints are so lifelike that you have to reach out and touch them to check if the plasterwork is real or not.
