Marble wallpaper gives you style on the cheap

In this economic climate, it can be hard to live the luxurious lifestyles we think we deserve.

For those of us who can’t afford to decorate our houses as lavishly as we’d like, a cheap hack that looks authentic is a godsend. 

If your childhood dream was to live in a marble palace but your adult reality is a cramped one-bedroom flat, marble wallpaper is one way to inject some opulence. 

British-based company Murals Wallpapers has released a new collection of high-definition, marble printed wallpaper that you can apply yourself.  

Generally marble is used sparingly but these sheets can be applied to whole walls in the living room, kitchen or bathroom. 

Marble decor is typically paired well with bold furniture and copper.

The company’s range of marble wallpaper comes in nine varieties including “bronze cracked”, “cracked coral” or the more classic “textured white”. 

The sheets start at $47 a metre, not including delivery and installation fees. 

If marble isn’t your style there are other ways to work with wallpaper – it makes a strong statement as a feature wall, or can complement frames, mirrors and furniture. 

In terms of faux luxury, marble wallpaper is a lot more convincing than that “Rolex” you picked up overseas.
