Who’s ready to step away from the gray on gray on greige with a “pop” of ____________ rooms that have been dominating the design world for - well, far too long in my opinion.
Wallpaper is back and better than ever! And it doesn’t have to be as imposing as it was in the late 80’s - 90’s when every surface of a room was adorned with busy patterns and riotous color.
Here is a custom mural wallpaper we used as a dramatic backdrop to a beautiful dining room in Ooltewah. The earthy color scheme and quiet furnishings keep the space from feeling busy.
Here’s a laundry room from a custom lake house that is nearing completion with just a few finishing touches left to install.
Joyful colors make for joyful living. I love this nature inspired paper combined with the blue cabinets!
Here is another image from the same house. Blue marbleized wallpaper on the ceiling complements the graphic silver print on the vestibule outside the master and guest bedrooms. This is much more dynamic than just paint!
In my own home, I went with a classic stripe and upped the drama by painting all of the wainscoting and trim in a similar shade of blue.
Want to stretch your budget? Below we used a high end Chinoiserie wallpaper in a smaller quantity and framed and hung 3 panels above a sofa.
And for those who wish to proceed more cautiously, I would point you to grasscloth.
This is a sisal grass cloth with a texture that is more refined than the grass cloth of the 70’s. The color is amazing and the texture provides an extra layer of beautiful detail.
This is another dining room we swathed in grass cloth. This time in lovely shade of teal to coordinate with the clients’ existing rug. It’s even more cozy in person!
Here’s a preview of a few wallpaper patterns we’re incorporating in a new custom home on Signal Mountain.
This classic Rose and Hollyhock paper will be installed in the mud room with blue trim. Can’t wait!
Butler’s pantry wallpaper. Built in cabinets will be blue and an Italian Murano glass chandelier will hang above it.
And here’s a little mockup of what’s in store in the powder room. This timeless beauty will really add some interest and I’m in love with this direction! It’s the combination of old with new, traditional with modern that really makes it unique and timeless.
