Wallpaper Forever!

I haven’t written a post about wallpaper in some time and yet my love for wallpaper has stayed strong! It is funny, because we often go into a new client’s home and one of the first questions that we ask is if they are open to or like wallpaper. I think wallpaper gets a bad rap, one that dates from the 50’s through maybe the 90’s. You know, grandma’s paper, the god awful stuff that nightmares are made of. We can see when a client was traumatized with “that” kind of wallpaper. But, fortunately for us, many of our client’s are open to the idea and understand that it is a great way to add color and texture to a space, and in a way that can be lasting, a classic. We are here for bringing it back, but in a good way. So, let me share some of our recent favorites, our go-to standards and a few that we are waiting to use as we design new spaces for our clients.

I know that many of you already know this, but I do love an English paper. This is a bold print from Lewis & Wood called Pomegranate. My one regret is that I did not paper all the walls.

We love a grasscloth to add color and texture.This is Thibaut’s Extra Fine Sisal in Doe.We often use this type of wallpaper in powder baths and bedrooms. It is a way to add color, but in a way that feels more classic and lasting. It can be used as a neutral...

Or it can be used as a punch of color. It just feels more authentic to me encased in grasscloth as opposed to paint. We love this green.

It is also a fabulous way to add pattern. It works really well in this bedroom with a more complicated ceiling due to the dormer windows. It is Schumacher Drizzle wallpaper in Dove.

And, you can use it as a statement piece. I love how this Schumacher, Shanghai Peacock in Cerise works with the modern elements. It is the lead without stealing the show.

Here are a few that I have been collecting and just waiting for the right space to use them in.

I love these three papers, both bold and refined from Soane Britain.

And these patterned grasscloth prints from Elizabeth Eakins. Love these!

And I am hoping to use these two prints in a primary bath that we are just starting to dream and scheme on...

Cheers to pattern, color and texture being added to your life!
