Bold Murals, Wallpaper, Wall Design

 I think it helps to take in all aspects of a room by taking it apart and looking at the best  ( or worst) of each aspect of a room. Like the walls.  I surprised myself as I began to focus on these bolder wall treatments: murals, wallpaper, huge art pieces, all bold, and all so important to the mood and personality of each room.  selected favorite rooms based upon how wonderfully central the wall design turns out to be.  Design never stops being fascinating...enjoy!

Any collection: trophies, sports memorabilia, musical items, or...

...er...brains:

On a much nicer note:

I love the huge photographic art on so many walls these days....hmmm...I feel another post coming on!
Have a great day!

Wallpaper Style for Any Room

Here are  a few wonderful wallpaper ideas: 

                    Love this vintage reproduction:

          Thibault:

But before we continue, I must warn any of you thinking about striped wallpaper: Don't Do It.

It begins to have a slightly jarring effect if it's too "loud" or too all-over-the-place... the lines start to get wavy, and it is a tad nauseaing. Sort of the Alfred Hitchcok Preents effect.... Now back to the fun stuff:

The creativity and the beauty of these rooms makes me want to go out and pick out wallpaper today! But I haven't used wallpaper in years. I was too traumatized by my last forays in that arena...You will never see a wallpaper DIY here.  Unless you are very handy, and I am N-O-T handy, hire a pro to put up and take down wallpaper. I had to face up to the embarrassing fact that I'm not patient enough to do it correctly. 


Have a great day!
