Wallpaper have generally been thought of as background rather than foreground (with some notable exceptions such as Chinese papers and the early 19th-century French scenic decorations). Having a knowledge of the history and types of wallpaper has been proven to help in better decision making on what type to get for the home.

Wallpapers may not be the first choice for most, nevertheless, its role in the overall decorative scheme is a vital one, and the choice affects the mood and style of a room, and may influence the choice of other furnishings. The wallpaper itself may be indicative of the function of a room, and will often reflect the age, status or gender of its inhabitants or habitual occupants. William Morris recognised the importance of wallpaper when he advised in one of his lectures

Wallpaper was first used in 200 BC in China and was made of rice paper stuck to the walls in homes. In 1481 AD Jean Bourdichon painted 50 rolls of paper with angels on a blue background for Louis XI of France. A century later, a guild of paperhangers was first established in France. In a major development for wallpaper production, gravure printing was invented by Karl Keitsch in Austria in 1879 AD.
