Metallic wallpaper is in! Recently, I've received a lot of requests for metallic wallcoverings - silver, gold and bronze. It's not a surprise since metallics are on trend in fashion (shoes, handbags, clothes, etc.).
There are a couple of different metallic wallcoverings. There is wallpaper that is metallic and may have a tone-on-tone pattern or have a colored pattern in conjunction with the metallic color. There is also sisal wallcovering that usually has a color (beige, green, aqua, black, etc) with metallic woven into it.

Here are a couple of metallic wallpapers that I thought looked really great. I chose the bronze tones only because I thought it would look better on the computer screen. Each of these come in an array of metallic tones.
Schumacher's Chevron Texture in Sable.
Schumacher's Meteorite in Pewter.
Winfield Thybony's Metallic Foil in Pewter.
A couple of things to keep in mind when considering metallic wallcoverings:
While most wallpaper is sold in rolls that are *usually* 8 yards, many speciality wallcoverings are sold by the yard. Typically when it's sold by the yard, it's going to cost more. For example, some metallic wallcoverings sold by the yard are approximately $50 a linear yard, while vinyl metallic wallpaper can come $65 a roll (8 yards). Just something to think about when you are looking for metallic wallpaper and wallcoverings.
What's your favorite tone in metallic? Gold, silver, bronze, pewter?
