Ingrain (or wood-chip ) wallpaper is a decoration. It consists of two layers of paper with wood fibers in between; various types of ingrained wallpaper are distinguished by the size and shape of the fiber pieces.
The ingrain wallpaper was invented by German pharmacist Hugo Erfurt in 1864; marketed by a company founded by his grandfather, was first used as an ornament for shop windows, but began to be used as wallpaper from the 1920s.
Ingrain wallpaper is the kind of wallpaper most commonly used in Germany. It was also common in the United Kingdom from the 1960s and beyond.
It can also be very difficult to remove, especially when some layers of paint have been applied.
