Wallpaper Wednesday!

As the day is winding down and I am frantically searching my closet for something to wear, I roll upon one of my favorite striped shirts.  This particular favorite shirt of mine is a black and white striped Banana Republic shirt and this baby has stood the test of times.  Simple pattern.  Classic colors.  Tailored fit.  Classic through and through.  And so this leads me into our topic for tonight: striped wallpaper.

No matter how bold and daring you are, or if subtle is your sweet spot there is a striped wallpaper out there for you.  One of my favorite "go to" wallpaper resource is Harlequin.  They never disappoint.  I hope you enjoy this next little bit: I have pulled images from the edginess of stripes in fashion and paired them with bold and quite striped wallpapers alike.


Colorfully Graphic


Soft & Subtle



 Daringly Bold



Classic Elegance


Stripes in many shapes and colors.  Which stripe fits your personality?

Wallpaper Wednesday!

Metallic is hot right now!  Just open any type of fashion magazine or shelter magazine and the papers are adorned with metallic jewelery, make-up, lighting and of course interior elements.  Silver metallics, gold metallics and even rose gold metallics are equally present throughout and are extremely eye catching. 

A few years back MDC Wallcovering introduced an amazing line of metallic foil papers.  The combination of large scale prints and classic textures comprise this collection.  I have used this particular pattern in one of my clients home right off their entry in a cozy little niche that is their powder bathroom and WOW what a statement it makes.  The space is small and intimate.  Adding a punch of metallic has set this room off and has created a dramatic conversation piece that has made this gem its own little jewelery box.

Powder bathrooms are the perfect place to add bold and graphic patterns and materials.  The interest and drama that is created when using such items will add a layer of dimension and unexpectedness.  Why not dress up the bathroom and create a "jewelery box" for all of your guests to enjoy.





'Til next week.......

Wallpaper Wednesday!

This morning as I laid in bed and listened to the birds chirping outside our window (which actually woke me way earlier than I had anticipated)  I thought to myself, what a blissful subject matter.  

Birds!

In my opinion if wallpapers and fabrics are created tastefully then there is no reason not to incorporate them into our interiors.  Whether it is in small doses or grand scenes a bird is a bird is a bird.  One of my all time favorites is this from York Wallcoverings.  


Wouldn't this be whimsical in your laundry room or mudroom.

 

What about this fun eclectic bird wallpaper from F. Schumacher .
This would be FAB in a breakfast nook or sun patio!


And yet another quirky option for you little ones playroom.

No matter what your style is or what draws you in, there is a bird wallpaper out there for everyone.....trust me!

What will next week bring?  
Check back and see!
