The Best of the Best: Wallpaper Edition

It's no secret that we L-O-V-E wallpaper around here. But there are SO many choices it can be overwhelming.... even for us. Although it was kind of like choosing a favorite child, we've rounded up our favorites in all sorts of categories for you fellow paper lovers.

But if you're on the fence about wallpaper, consider these 3 benefits:

1. It's more durable than paint. You can just wipe things off without leaving a mark on the paint. AND it lasts much longer than your average coat of paint. (Sometimes even decades)

2. Wallpaper gives you endless options to coordinate with your decor stye. One of our favorites tricks is to paper the ceiling. Guests will ooo and ahhh at your attention to detail - even way up high.

3. Still not convinced? We've saved the best for last: Your home will be unique. We've all heard: "I used that exact paint color in my home!"

As a result, guests feel like they know you a bit more simply by the wallpaper you choose

And that's a wrap!

Doesn't this just make you want to redo a room (...or two) in your house?

Before you go, here are a few wallpaper questions to think about.

"What Kind of Atmosphere am I Trying to Create?"

If you'd like to make a statement, try a print with a larger repeat in your entryway. This will give guests that WOW moment as they walk in and it will set the tone for the rest of your home.

"How Big Is The Space?"

If it's a large space, stay away from smaller patterns. Save those more diminutive options for powder rooms, mudrooms, laundry rooms, and the Scullery.

"How Do I Select other Colors to Coordinate?"

Pull colors from the wallpaper to paint a bathroom vanity, mudroom lockers, or the Scullery.

Pull a coordinating color from the wallpaper for your fabrics in these spaces.

*Quick note: We have only listed one of the many colors available for these wallpaper options. If you have any questions or need help ordering, please contact us as we are happy to help!
