The Golden Age
With over 400 MILLION rolls of wallpaper sold, the 1920s are considered the Golden Age for this home décor.
As Old as Time
Wallpaper first dates back to 200 B.C. in China.
They Said It Couldn’t Be Done
The Guinness World Record for the fastest time to hang 172.2 sq. ft. of wallpaper is 6 minutes and 38 seconds. Now if only someone could find a fast way to take it down.
The Pros
Now known as the Wallcovering Installers Association, the National Guild of Professional Paperhangers began in the United States in 1974.
Deadly Design
During the Victorian Era, “Scheele’s Green” was one of the most popular wallpaper colors. Unfortunately, the beautiful color everyone loved was created with arsenic, leading to many deaths.
Expensive Tastes
The most expensive wallpaper is entitled “Les Guerres D’Independence.” At $44,091 for a set of 32 panels, you better not change your mind! *Panels cannot be sold separately*
