Marking the advent of the Spring season and the departure of Winter blues, St. Patrick’s Day is a time to celebrate everything green and the aura of energy and renewal it represents. From a proud roster of environmentally friendly green products, to an expansive selection of green wallcovering patterns from olive to emerald – LEVEY truly embodies the Irish Spirit. We’ve carefully curated a few wallcoverings from our vast collection of green swatches that evoke a sense of verdant grass and the nature of Spring

For the most part, wallpaper (as opposed to “wallcovering”) is the more widely familiar home-outfitting product. This may be due to the fact that it is a generally inexpensive material that many of us watched our parents hang – and rip down – throughout the years. It has been the finish of choice for elegant homes since the sixteenth century tapestries.
Unbeknownst to many of us, alongside this residential finishing trend is wallpaper’s more industrial cousin, the wallcovering. Originally developed as a protective wall finish in the 1970s, wallcoverings are typically consigned to commercial applications; and are designed to withstand the demands of highly-populated spaces such as lobbies, corridors, hotel suites, etc.

More and more, homeowners are turning to the superior quality and luxe effect of wallcovering for their home decorating projects.
Excellent for backsplashes, hallways, entrances and/or wherever one is looking to add a beautiful and durable finish, wallcovering is an elegant alternative to wallpaper and paint.
Customize your wallcovering
