Who LOVES wallpaper!? … and if you don’t, then you should, and we hope we’re able to convince you otherwise this coming month! We understand that wallpaper has a tricky past. We too remember the formal dining rooms and kitchen borders of those cute farm scenes and plastic looking fruit. Wallpapers bad reputation means it's sometimes a hard sell to clients, but if you give it a chance, you’re going to be pleasantly surprised. We’ve listed a few guidelines that may make you feel a little better about such a great decision.
Large space, subtle pattern
If you want to cover an entire bedroom or living area, go for a wallpaper with a larger pattern. Small patterns in an open area can become too busy, repetitious and overwhelm the space. Keep it simple and classy with a wide vertical stripe, a vibrant floral or maybe a beautiful textured wallpaper.
Small space, bold pattern
Use a fun and bold wallpaper on an accent wall or in a small bathroom/powder room to create visual interest and texture. Busy patterns won't overwhelm in a small space so these are the areas where you can go all out with funky designs and colors. The wallpaper Paige is holding is currently in her powder room, check out the designer below, we love her!
Go off the wall
Time to get creative. Wallpaper doesn't have to go on a whole wall. You can frame sheets in complementary colors and use as artwork. We’ve even made over dressers with wallpapered drawers. We love taking the wallpaper to the ceiling too, the forgotten fifth wall! The possibilities are endless! Especially now with all the peel & stick wallpapers available.
We’re always on the look out for new wallpaper ideas. We really think they can go EVERYWHERE. Check out some of our own inspirations!
“Stay tuned for this next month, we’re loving how many wallpaper options we have now! ”
