Did you know wallpaper dates back to 200 B.C.?! Yeah, you heard me. Throwback ALERT! The intentional art form was first used in China. The first Chinese wallpapers were of birds, flowers and landscapes painted on rice paper. Smoother linen fabrics later replaced the rice paper, so that painting became easier. How stunning! We are constantly in awe of the ways in which creativity has leaked onto the walls of spaces in different ways and feel so lucky to provide you with wallpaper that reflects that admiration.
So, buckle up your boots y’all. Because the time has come to take a st(roll) down wallpaper lane. Today, we are going to divulge into the beautiful story of how, for centuries, people of all communities have been using wallpaper as a means of expression for their space. To make things a little simpler, let’s take a gander over the timeline below.
Now that we’ve taken a gander over the most notable wallpaper events, we have a better idea of the ways in which wallpaper has written its own story before we’ve jumped onto the scene. Here at Dizzy, nuance is a well-loved word. While paying homage to the artists who crafted wallpaper into what it is today, we aspire to make all your modern wallpaper dreams a reality. By offering classic traditional paper as well as peel and stick, our hope is to open up your wallpaper possibility box and help you create a space that is totally yours.
