This last one is even reducing the sound and echo. Modern wallpaper can do a lot more that decorate your home, which is very important, too. Have a look at an example:

All Things Concrete

Concrete is a trendy material our days - we see it everywhere - even on the table, as wallpaper, as lighting. If you want to be trendy and buy yourself something inspiring made of concrete, here below is my selection of things that I myself would use with pleasure in my interior design projects:

Did you find your inspiration?

The feature wall

is a great way to bring a touch of individuality to your room. You can do it on one of the walls, or part of a wall - just to create a focal point, to separate functionally open space or to renovate a room effectively.

 You can use this approach to enliven a too minimalistic interior design, or make a statement through  accent paint colour, a graphic wallpaper pattern or any other special wallpaper. 

Or combine paint with decoration:

Wallpaper Illusions

Wall Flower by Marcel Wanders for Graham & Brown

 It may seem a 3D, but in fact the design is composed of geometrical wall tiles with floral accents in which the

 lotus flower is rendered to give the appearance of a three-dimensional tiled wall.

World Heritage Blue / White by Marcel Wanders - honeycomb effects with hidden curiosities within.

Heart and Tulip Ash by Marcel Wanders - the carved wood effect  design has a trompe l'oeil effect but is actually flat to the touch.

The winners in the ninth Wallpaper* Design Awards 2013 for Best trend

I congratulate the jury for their choice! I like the products and the trend they express! The winners in the ninth Wallpaper* Design Awards 2013 for Best trend are:

The Azulej collection created by Patricia Urquiola for Ceramiche Mutina has earned the Wallpaper Design Award 2013. For Azulej the nomination was in the Best Trend section, and it was the confirmation of the
uniqueness of this project, which proposes as a wall covering an aesthetic mix composed by geometric shapes and floral patterns, providing an absolute creative freedom. The concept behind this ceramic collection has materialized in a unique and surprising result, mixing materials technology and “hand-made” work, a past of ancient majolica and a future of interior design.“It is the second time that our products receive the Wallpaper Design Award”, Massimo Orsini, Mutina’s President, says. “The first time, it was
in 2011 with the collection Phenomenon by Tokujin Yoshioka and this new goal  shows that the design of author is the right way to go, the winning one”.

And the 3rd winner is a cabinet that I discovered at last year's Milan Design Week -  ”BOIS DE ROSE” cabinet:
