They say you can often tell a lot about a person’s character from the inside of their home. With Goodrich’s digital printed wallcovering you can let your home be a living expression of who you are with your favourite cult classic poster or memory blown up into a high-resolution wall feature.
Not sure how the finished product will look? You can take inspiration from Singapore’s Godfather of Fashion, Daniel Boey, whose novel “The Book of Daniel” takes front stage as the main feature piece in his sunny attic.
Digitally remastered, printed, and framed – his 2mx2m wallcovering perfectly complements the minimalistic theme of his home while still keeping the overall vibe of the home edgy and eccentric.

Should bare white walls intimidate you, take a leaf out of Former Wushu champion and channel 8 hunk, Vincent Ng’s interior design playbook and immortalise a favourite personal memory. Need we also mention how great it is as a conversation starter?
While headboards add stylish flair to your bedroom, a colourful feature wall does the job just as well – if not, better since it’s a statement piece that’ll catch your attention. Follow in celebrity hairstylist Addy Lee’s footsteps: he’s propped the bed in his guestroom against a backdrop of turquoise palm trees.
As Addy Lee’s master bedroom, this room follows a similar design concept. The feature wall covered with geometric inspired wallpaper, as the bed’s backdrop, offers an aesthetic contrast to the room’s neutral finishings.

Some call it “mother’s instinct”, others call it “nesting”. Terminology aside, there’s nothing like a fast-approaching due date to spur expectant parents into frantic cleaning, organising and decorating.
Don’t settle for the traditional muted shades of pink or robin’s egg blue, switch things up with a bubbly, gender-neutral feature wall that’ll make your room look straight out of Young Parents magazine.
While patterned wallpapers are all well and good in small doses or large spaces, the go-to trick for cosier areas is to go bright and impactful. That doesn’t necessarily mean sticking with neutral palettes – instead, consider something like Goodrich’s classy vinyl wallcoverings above, that’s all splashed out in vibrant orange tones. It even has faint horizontal stripes across for that added illusion of space and highly resilient.

Inspired by solid wood, these floors add a certain warmth and beauty to any space and are one of those little additions to a home that secretly scream “luxe life”. But with solid wood floors the problem of easy scratching and having to choose the right non-abrasive cleaning liquids. They’re also prone to water and sun damage and require regular upkeep.
Since you can easily vacuum and mop these luxury vinyl tiles, Boey chose these for his personal lounge, bedroom, and walk-in closet – they’re pet-friendly too.

With a walk-in wardrobe the size of a 3-room HDB flat and a Hermes bag collection in the hundreds, no one can deny that socialite, Jamie Chua, is the queen of high SES living. So it might be surprising for some to find out that a fair bit of her bungalow in Bukit Timah is wallpapered.

While most of us won’t able to relate to having to decorate a space that’s too big, if you’re ever faced with the problem, opting for a dark wallpaper can instantly make any space feel 10 times cosier.
When used correctly, a combination of rich dark colour and texture works wonders to create a glamorous nook in your home. A subtle pattern such as this one from Goodrich’s Texam collection also makes for an eye-catching backdrop and naturally compliments any furniture you might have.

If you love your staycations, it might be a practical choice to model your new bedroom after a room in your favourite 5-star hotel. Not only will your room look perpetually photogenic, the wallpaper means you can go without a headboard and your bed won’t look bare.

As ironic as it sounds, ceilings are often overlooked when it comes to decorating. Apart from light fixtures and fans, nobody really thinks to add anything else to the top part of a room. If you’re ever looking for a way to add a rustic warmth to your modern home without touching the walls, a little natural wallcovering on the ceiling is the way to go.
Bare walls often come off looking stoic and dull – especially in the bedroom. You might think that iridescent wallpaper isn’t up your alley, but Goodrich’s designs offer an elegant touch. With rainbow-coloured splashes against a moody backdrop of swirls, such designs will add a fantasy-like theme to any bedroom.
Throw in a couple of unique pieces – a rustic chair, abstract throw pillows – and you’ve got a stylish bedroom, right there.
