Be it a stand alone wall or a ceiling, Accent Walls make a remarkable change in any office, den or entertainment room. Forget the predictable tie this Father’s Day and give Dad something unique — a wallpapered accent wall or ceiling.
This week was Powder Room week in DC and we are seeing patterns, patterns and more patterns in these small spaces. You may hear people refer to the half-bath with the old-fashioned term, the powder room. My dad, Patrick Shields, only referred to half-baths as powder rooms. (Side-note – he also referred to every refrigerator as an “ice box.”)
Back in the good old days, when fashionable people wore powdered wigs, rooms were made available solely for the maintenance of the coif. This was the genesis of calling the ladies restroom the powder room. Hence, the euphemism, “Powder My Nose.”
Fancy wallpaper and the powder rooms go hand and hand. Make your powder room the pièce de résistance in your home.
Here’s a recent Charlottesville farmhouse-style dining room we installed. The designer and home owners selected a delicate, historical pattern of Adelphi’s Deerfield wallpaper. The floral design is inspired by the popular English interpretation of Japanese designs known as “Anglo-Japanesque.” One of the wonders of wallpaper is the ability to add historic depth to this Charlottesville dining room.
