Love You Wallpaper

Wallpaper brings warmth, texture, colour and pattern to a room. It can transform the mundane to the spectacular and the cold to the cosy. Wallpaper can disguise flaws, it can alter perceived proportions and it can add dynamism, sophistication, elegance or seduction to any interior. What's not to love about wallpaper?

Selecting a wallpaper can be quite overwhelming as there is an abundance of choice, growing enormously by the design season. Traditional papers are revised and updated, or lovingly replicated for historical accuracy. Flowers can be found in all shapes and sizes from the large Victorian bloom, to cherry blossom, stylised poppies and flocked chrysanthemums. Textures are becoming equally more alluring through technology as they are more eco through our awareness and demand for environmental sustainability.

Certain patterns can make one person feel nauseous, while another will be excited and exhilarated by it. Some people will count obsessively the repeat in a pattern, while others will find the sequence soothing. There are also scientifically proven effects that certain patterns will give us all - optical illusions that will cause eyes to vibrate, making us feel dizzy or simply suspicious that the wallpaper is crawling. You will be pleased to hear that manufacturers are well aware of these psychological effects and test thoroughly before producing a paper.

However, some designers thrive on what people might discover in their papers and there are many witty editions of Toile de Jouy or more modern cartoon style depictions of everyday life. These can tell stories and will make interesting historical references in future years but they are also very pleasing on the eye - the imagery merging into a soothing pattern from a distance.

The cost of paper is an interesting point in itself. Some you can pick up for £10 a roll whereas others, hand blocked and of unique design, can run into many hundreds for the same quantity. Metallics will add to the cost of the paper as will flocking, and if the paper is a one-off then the price will naturally escalate.

I truly value what texture can add to a room, because while pattern, be it wild or subtle, will date, texture will always contribute to a room without it being too offensive to the fashionistas. I suspect that the metallics of today will soon start to fade but I believe that the idea of papers changing in different light conditions will be developed further. Flocking has made a giant comeback (having made its first foray into interiors in the early 17th century) and will undoubtedly go again, as will the gigantic geometric swirls and possibly even the old faithful stripe.

My point is that it doesn't matter, as long as you enjoy them. Be bold and brave with your walls and put up something that you adore. It will make the room sing and you will feel great pride in it every time you see it - and that can't be sniffed at. And that will probably be the next big thing - perfumed or worse yet, a Roald Dahl-inspired lickable paper... Something to think about.

Having love wallpapers on your computer can really brighten up your day. There are many images to do with love that are guaranteed to make you smile. So many people are familiar with the heart and the bow and arrow as symbols of love towards one another that having these as your background can remind you of that special someone, any time of day. Love wallpapers for your desktop can also sport a loving message or quotation as well as loving images. These words can have powerful meanings or just simply say 'I love you' but one thing is for sure, each message will leave you feeling warm and happy inside. Hearts are a very versatile image, as many people will like to have these as their wallpaper without it being especially about love. They can be used as general images creating a fresh and funky picture.

The cupid with its bow and arrow is a typical type of love backgrounds, although you can now find the design in a range of different forms, such as cartoon or fine art. You can even find some love quotations and pictures with a touch of humour about them. Bashful cartoon teddy bears or a comic strip style wallpapers with a romantic but silly ending can make you laugh. Bringing such humour to a love story is a refreshing alternative to old fashioned pictures of love. Even jokes about love can be appealing to some, wanting a more comedy feel to their love backgrounds.

Valentine's Day is a time when many users of computers will change their desktop backgrounds. Love backgrounds will become most popular around this time as people tend to feel happy and loving and like to think about their loved ones. The different styles of wallpaper you can choose from include cute and cuddly animal pictures, exotic and colourful designs, scenes of natural beauty and well known poems and quotes from over the years.

There is no denying it; everybody wants to make their computer background more beautiful. Using the array of amazing art and creations available, you can bring your desktop to life. You can share the love by sending your favourite wallpapers to your friends or your loved ones so they can have a wallpaper to remind them of you.
