wonderful walls

Inspired by yesterday's post, In the Library, I decided to pull together some wall treatments to put a little skip in your step (at least that's what it does for me...)

The first one comes from Farrow & Ball because, after all, they were the inspiration for the post. This print is called Lotus from the special edition collection. Visit Farrow & Ball to order a free sample.


This print, Arches from Phillip Jeffries, is printed on hemp paper which adds a textural element and makes a bold statement in blue.

This image, from the September issue of House Beautiful, features fabric covered panels from Lee Jofa used to create a textured crewel wall treatment (and the pitchers are vintage Wedgewood...love love love these!).

I have long been a fan of Florence Broadhurst's - partly for her bold graphic designs and partly for her mysterious murder (I'm very intrigued by that sort of thing). This print, called Shadow Floral, is one of my favorites. Shown here in dusty turquoise.

Wall coverings are a great way to liven up a boring wall or bring focus to areas that sometimes gets overlooked (like an entryway, the interiors of open cabinets, even ceilings). The next time you're in the mood to shake things up, sit down with a book of wallpaper and see if you can't just find something that inspires you.
