The Why, Where, What, and How-tos of Wallpaper
To wallpaper or not to wallpaper…
Do you want to make your home feel special, finished, and custom? We recommend adding wallpaper! We love adding wallpaper to our projects, it’s akin to adding the perfect jewelry or handbag.. is it a “Must have?”...no! …but does your outfit feel more complete with it?...YES!
This is WHY you wallpaper, from drab to fab in this homeowner’s entryway!
What a welcoming statement!

There are 3 simple steps to adding wallpaper to your home:
Decide on WHERE: Which rooms and locations in your home would you like to add wallpaper? Perhaps you’d like to cover an entire room, or for less commitment, try an accent wall or a small nook.

Still unsure about committing to wallpaper? Consider a small powder bathroom, above wainscoting, in a small entryway, or on the ceiling. Sometimes a “hint” of wallpaper adds just the right touch!

Decide on WHAT your Wallpaper selection will be!
For a minimal commitment, we recommend a simple grasscloth; it adds warmth and texture without being too bold.
Are you interested in a little more excitement? How about a bold colored velvet or a large scale print?
