WALLS THAT MAKE YOUR HEART GO PITTER-PAPER

When it comes to influencing your interior decor, your walls provide the greatest opportunity for adding significant impact. And while experimenting with paint color saturations, depth of tone, and types of sheen can deliver amazing results, nothing ups the design ante quite like wallcoverings. With nearly limitless options for incorporating pattern, color, and texture, wallpaper offers unique opportunities to make a statement with your space!

Neutral Naturals

Decorating with natural fabrics, woods, and silhouettes is an enduring classic that never goes out of style. To elevate your organic look and add a dash of drama, consider adding a wallcovering that carries the theme up the walls. This example, with an undulating pattern inspired by anemones, delivers deeptoned drama without overpowering the other elements in the space.

Grownup Treehouse

The success of this neutral room stems from the reversal of a tried-and-true design trick. A simple palette and clean-lined furnishings create a calm and serene space that acts as a neutral foreground to a knockout pattern that wraps every wall of the room with color and texture… proving that when a wall’s covered by a forest, everybody cheers.

PLAYING DRESS-UP

Forget the lion and the witch - everyone will be too busy reading the look of this cleverly upcycled wardrobe! Utilizing wallpaper to cover damaged panels, cracked mirrors or drilled holes from old hardware is a brilliant way to breath new life into an old favorite, while maintaining and enhancing the charming character of the piece.

MIX & MATCH COLLECTION

We’re loving everything about this space: the subtle Asian vibes of the vintage rattan furniture and ginger jar lamp look sensational against a confident asymmetrical raindrop wallpaper. Strong shots of color, like the complimentary shades of green and fushia, are grounded by the strength of the pattern against a crisp white background.

Dress The Walls With Floral Folly

Famed Italian fashion house Missoni’s home collection includes fantastical over-the-top patterns; favorites like Oriental Garden, a bouquet embroidered in purple, pink, peach, and yellow-orange colors and grey shadows, brings the haute couture out of the closet and sends it right down the hallway.

Flower Power

Design darling Rifle Paper Co. has done it again! Peonies and delicate buds in periwinkle and sage are tossed on a clean white background for a casual, optimistic feel. This modern take on traditional patterns with updated colorways, is particularly well suited to both midcentury designed spaces and the modern farmhouse look.

For The Love Of Color

“Simple, elegant, yet bold. You will die.” - Edna Mode

For decades, decorating fully embraced the layered mix of neutrals. Creams, greiges, and brushed cool metals felt modern and luxurious; the look was easy, and it worked everywhere. But now, as design swings back towards colorful spaces, the once-bold espresso feature wall just feels like it’s falling short. Bringing color back into our neutral lives is challenging, as is the fear of making a spectacular color misstep. How to break through? Embrace the power of paint. Choose a room and lavish the walls - all of them - with color: saturated, bold and rich. Grab a complimentary quart to breathe new life into an old piece of furniture. Nervous? Just channel Edna and repeat: “I never look back, darling. It distracts from the now.”
