By Architect Aditi Dhanraj Shelke
For decades, painted walls dominated our interiors—easy, minimal, and safe. But lately, something has shifted. Step into any thoughtfully designed home or scroll through your favorite design account, and you’ll notice it: wallpaper is making a quiet, confident comeback.
As an architect, I’ve seen this change unfold firsthand. More clients are asking for moodboards, not just paint swatches. They want spaces that reflect personality, not just paint codes. And wallpaper does just that—it tells a story.
So, why are we all rethinking painted walls?
1. Wallpaper Brings Depth and Drama
Unlike flat paint, wallpaper introduces dimension. From delicate textures to bold prints, it adds visual interest that paint simply can’t replicate. A forest mural in a study or a linen-textured wallpaper in a powder room changes how a space feels.
2. Design is More Personal Than Ever
We’re moving away from cookie-cutter interiors. People want homes that reflect who they are, and wallpaper allows for that level of individuality. Whether it’s quiet florals or abstract patterns, it’s a form of self-expression.
3. Technology Has Changed the Game
Modern wallpapers are easier to install, remove, and maintain. At Auravive, we work with cutting-edge materials that are durable, eco-conscious, and even renter-friendly.
4. It’s Not Just About Accent Walls Anymore
Entire rooms are being papered—ceilings too! What used to be a niche design choice is now central to modern interiors.
Paint still has its place. But if you’re craving depth, character, or simply a fresh conversation starter—wallpaper might just be your answer.
