Metallic Illusions

I selected an Arte wallcovering for a client with a damask pattern and branches overlapping the pattern in beaded glass material. They have a whole collection that's very dimensional and textural. Mostly in metallic colorways. I just love the effect. Here are a few selections...

Bedtime Story

I love wallpaper in a bedroom. It tells the story of the room right away. Whether the room is soft and feminine, young and playful, or masculine and geometric, wallpaper instantly makes a statement. Sometimes wallpaper isn't such a statement but adds depth and texture that paint just can't compete with. Wallpaper has come a long way in design and style. Gone are the tacky borders and plastic-like feel of the old school papers. Today they are rich and sophisticated with tons of options. Here are a few bedrooms that use wallpaper effectively:

Bold Powder Room Design

I love dramatic, bold, powder rooms. They are the one room in a house can that be fun, surprising, and exciting. Wallpapers, decorative vessel sinks, unique light fixtures and color can all go into one small space in the powder room. A few examples that I love below...

Thoughts on Wallpaper

Installing wallpaper can add so much to a room. I love using it in powder rooms, bedrooms, even dining rooms. Its great to use when you don't have a lot of artwork because the wallpaper becomes the art. Even if a you don't like a lot of pattern there are plenty of wallpapers that just add texture.

This wallpaper has little beads on the flowers and stems
