Anaglypta is a white wall-covering made from paper but it is not your typical wallpaper. It is imprinted with raised designs, which create more detail. It can also be painted, which sets it apart from some other varieties of wallpaper.

The term anaglypta is from the Greek and means raised ornamentation. This style of wall covering has been around for more than 100 years. It began to increase in popularity — and availability — outside of Europe in the late 1900s.

Anaglypta is not usually ready-to-hang wallpaper. Because it is thick and heavy, you cannot simply dip it in water and press it to the wall. It requires a strong adhesive, which may also require more drying time.

While this crisp white wall covering is beautiful as is, and is used in its natural state on many occasions, a favorite feature is the ability to paint it. Anaglypta should be hung first then allowed to dry for a day or two before applying paint. It should also be primed before painting, and a lightly tinted primer ... more.
