MIAMI, FL – This is not your Father’s wallpaper!
Wallpaper has changed! Traditionally, wallpaper was printed roll-by-roll and stocked. Today’s custom wallpapers are stored as digital images, mural-like and rescaled to wall size, custom-printed and even used outdoors. As the people who launched the first custom wallpaper brand in the US in 2011, at modernwallpaper we know a thing or two about this change.
Demand is exploding, particularly in today’s pandemic afflicted world, as wallpaper is the least expensive way to transform by renovation. A pre-Covid-19 study* projected digital wallpaper to be a $14.4B market by 2026.

The design opportunities created by new technology have attracted many of the world’s finest artists & art directors. The latest patterns inspire design teams to think like their theater and film counterparts, envisaging design worlds more creatively and at the same time at lower cost than ever before. Modern wallpapers are the backdrops to these more theatrical worlds.
Many patterns today belong in art galleries. Wallpaper has become the new medium for modern art. Patterns can be Avant Garde, include subjects of historical interest, or focus on animals, human figures, faces and much more. Interior design stories are now told using color, texture, objects, shapes, and words, transforming even staid environments like corporate offices.
It is the combination of new backing materials, inks & printing technology which enable wallpapers to be used outdoor, and to renovate showers, while many indoor wallpapers are soundproof for use in hotel guest rooms. Design stories remain the same, as patterns are rescaled for rooms in a variety of shapes and sizes. Materials can be eco-friendly, waterproof, resist UV light, and some surfaces even radically alter the printed effect of the pattern, so actual textures in patterns can appear real until touched.
moderndesign.io is a leader is this transformation, currently beta-testing a new platform which features 6000+ patterns from the world’s finest manufacturers. A founding team of SME’s, data & behavioral scientists are combining experience with science to revolutionize the way design teams discover & specify wallpaper.
