Everyone's attention is on Tyla as she graces the Met Gala red carpet (she’s part of the event's host committee, let's not forget). However, our gaze remains fixed on her Instagram. More precisely, we keep revisiting an image of the singer posing against a shimmering metallic backdrop that stands out from anything we’ve encountered previously.

Although numerous individuals might opt to express themselves via artwork, furnishings, or lighting fixtures, Tyla's approach stands out. textured wallpaper serves as a reminder not to ignore the largest canvas in our space.

The wall covering’s metallic quality showcases shades of gold and purple, which create an impactful yet not overwhelming look. Similarly, the texture of this wallpaper serves as a conversation starter. Beyond merely adorning the walls, it invites touch and appreciation.

What makes Tyla's wallpaper So distinctive among designers? ‘When you enter a space, it transforms instantly – becoming more luxurious, snug, and considered. This isn’t merely attractive wall decor; it’s an encounter. It evokes a sense of depth, atmosphere, and spatial quality that standard paint or ordinary wallpaper cannot replicate,’ explains Nancy Davilman, lead designer at ND Interiors.

'in a world becoming progressively flatter—both literally and metaphorically—texture reintroduces vitality into an interior space. This element introduces contrast, motion, and a subtle yet noticeable dramatic effect. Be it through materials such as braided grasscloth, textiles reminiscent of linen, or perhaps more three-dimensional options like imitation stucco or leather finishes, textured wallpaper stimulates multiple senses. Such wallpapers aren't merely visually appealing; they also offer tactile pleasure.'

An additional advantage is its capacity to change over the course of the day. While we can appreciate its look from her photograph, as Nancy clarifies, it probably looks distinct at various times of the day.

'Wallpaper with texture reflects light variably as the day progresses. The rising sun could accentuate its embossed designs, whereas nighttime lighting might cast gentle yet striking shadows over its expanse. This interaction adds visual dimension and keeps the space feeling lively rather than monotonous,' she observes.

Finally, we shouldn't ignore this wallpaper's 'well-hidden gem': it turns out to be quite simple to upkeep.

'The brilliance of textured wallpaper often goes unnoticed, yet it serves as an excellent concealer. It effortlessly masks bumpy drywall, tiny fissures, or irregular patches with its gentle overlay of pattern.'
