10 Spring 2026 “Those smaller spaces are perfect for going bold and having fun. People treat wallpaper more like an experience, something that surprises you when you walk into a room,” he said. Arizona’s climate also influences wallpaper choices. Earthy tones, warm neutrals, and natural textures like sand, clay, stone, and linen reflect the desert landscape. “Durability matters, especially in high-heat or high-traffic areas, so we often use vinyl or performance materials that hold up well. It’s about balancing style with practicality for the climate,” Williams said. One misconception Williams frequently hears is that wallpaper is old-fashioned or unpredictable. “The key is installation. When it’s done right, the finish looks tailored, and the room feels instantly elevated and intentional,” he said. Williams predicts that wallpaper’s resurgence isn’t a passing fad. Immersive designs across entire rooms, ceilings, and layered textures will continue to gain popularity as homeowners treat their spaces like personal stories. “Demand has only grown. Every year it gets busier. Clients want more design detail in their homes, and wallpaper is one of the easiest ways to achieve that,” he said. “I don’t see wallcovering slowing down.” For those hesitant to commit, Williams recommends beginning small: “Powder bathrooms are my favorite place to start. They’re small, low-commitment spaces where you can go bold and make a big impact. It’s the perfect way for clients to experiment and have fun without overwhelming the whole house,” he said. Wallpaper is back, and thanks to professionals like Decker Williams, it’s more modern, accessible, and desert-friendly than ever. From bold murals to understated textures, it’s a simple way to infuse personality and warmth into any home. williamswallcovering.com Make a statement Continued from page 9 Large-scale murals are among today’s most popular wallpaper trends.
