When it comes to adding personality and charm to your living space, the choice between wallpaper and paint is obvious. My Alexandria client selected this beautiful GP&J Baker “Fritillerie” (tulip & jasmin) floral wallpaper to transform her powder room. Why settle for a plain coat of paint when you can adorn your walls with the timeless elegance and artistic flair that only wallpaper can provide?
Add geometry to your ceiling and give your room a sense of scale and drama. I recently did this ceiling in a Leesburg family room with Osborne & Little “Lyrebird” wallpaper. The wallpaper’s tile repeats cleverly leverage a vaulting effect, giving the room a sense of elegance and spaciousness.
Photos above are from this week’s install in Fairfax County, VA. The interior designer selected this Kanko Cork from Osborne & Little for a powder room to add texture, warmth and visual interest. It may be hard to see in the photos but it is tiles of cork layered over metallic gold grounds. Over the past year, I have installed Cork wallpaper several times. It is becoming increasingly popular as a wall covering. It is a sustainable and eco-friendly material. The cork oak tree bark can be harvested without harming the tree. It also possesses natural sound-absorbing properties, helping to reduce noise transmission within a room. Additionally, cork is known for its thermal insulation properties, which can contribute to maintaining a comfortable indoor environment.
