TIME FOR DESIGN – WALLPAPER GROWS ON YOU by Gwen Smith Ehrlich

“INSPIRATION FOR THE HOME OF YOUR DREAMS”

Here is a wallpaper that is OVER THE TOP – available at Town in the Denver Design Center.  Its watercolor inspired theme is intoxicating.  It would be great in a restaurant or on one wall of  my party room.  Can’t you just imagine it?

Wallpaper by Fromental is my new favorite discovery.   The wallpaper is custom designed in England to fit your wall space, sent to China to be  hand painted, returned to England for inspection and then sent to you.  Around the world design that is so worth it at about $216 a square yard if its painted.  It can also be enhanced with embroidery for about $440 a square yard.

The Fromental dining room panels below are so expressive and exciting.

Here is a bathroom papered in the Pop-pop flowers pattern by Fromental.  Zingy isn’t it?  You  can  choose from several color schemes. This paper can also be painted or embroidered.

Wallpaper that pops is novel.  I can imagine this paper on the kitchen walls of a bungalow.  What FUN!! What POP!!!!

Look at this paper  installed in the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel in London. It would be gorgeous in a powder room.   Are you brave enough?  Are you bold enough?  Come on be gutsy and put it in your powder room.  Show off.

This wallpaper is awesome.  Its fresh and over the top FUN!!

Is this wallpaper simply beautiful or what?  Its by de Gournay.   Whether you prefer a newly decorated look or the aged look, the company will oblige. They will age any of its hand-painted silk wall coverings.

Here is a project where I used grass cloth in a powder room.  It really WORKS for a clean finished look.

Another garden inspired paper I could easily live with.

This papered dining room wall was shown in House Beautiful in 2005.  Its so today.

I love this Pied-a-Terre’s wallpaper.  It just envelopes the room in sophistication.

NOW – GO BIG OR GO HOME

The Russian dancer Nureyev was a moving force who  owned houses in Monaco, New York, Virginia, London, St Barts, an island called Li Galli off the Amalfi Coast and in Paris.  The wallpaper in Nureyev’s  Paris home is so spirited its like tigers roaring.  Actually you can hear his designer roaring.  The wall coverings are leather.  Imagine that.

Photos from Elle Decor feature Nureyev at home.

Flashy digs for a flashy dancer.
