Wallpaper is a kind of material used to cover and decorate the interior walls of homes, offices, cafes, government buildings, museums, post offices, and other buildings; it is one aspect of interior decoration.

It is usually sold in rolls and is put onto a wall using wallpaper paste.

Wallpapers can come plain as "lining paper" (so that it can be painted or used to help cover uneven surfaces and minor wall defects thus giving a better surface), textured (such as Anaglypta), with a regular repeating pattern design, or, much less commonly today, with a single non-repeating large design carried over a set of sheets.

A textile or cloth is a flexible material consisting of a network of natural or artificial fibres (yarn or thread).

Yarn is produced by spinning raw fibres of wool, flax, cotton, hemp, or other material to produce long strands.

Textiles are formed by weaving, knitting, crocheting, knotting, or felting.

The visual arts are art forms such as ceramics, drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, design, crafts, photography, video, filmmaking, literature, and architecture.

Also included within the visual arts are the applied arts such as industrial design, graphic design, fashion design, interior design and decorative art.

Modern art includes artistic work produced during the period extending roughly from the 1860s to the 1970s, and denotes the style and philosophy of the art produced during that era.

The term is usually associated with art in which the traditions of the past have been thrown aside in a spirit of experimentation.

Modern artists experimented with new ways of seeing and with fresh ideas about the nature of materials and functions of art.

A tendency away from the narrative, which was characteristic for the traditional arts, toward abstraction is characteristic of much modern art.

More recent artistic production is often called contemporary art or postmodern art.
