Is wallpaper really like a tattoo?
Comments (15)I'm not a fan of wallpaper, though I'll admit there are some powder rooms on Houzz with beautiful, two-tone wallpaper that I love. The last time we bought a house we had to choose between two equally desirable, quite similar vintage houses--one with wallpaper on every wall (even in the hallways!) and one with painted walls throughout. In both cases we planned to repaint in colors of our choice, but we bought the house without the wallpaper because it was simply less work to repaint the painted walls than to strip a house full of someone else's tacky, outdated wallpaper. So by all means use wallpaper if you love it and will be in the home for awhile, but don't expect anyone else to appreciate it when you sell. Wallpaper (like patterned fabric) is just too individual a preference to translate easily into someone else's aesthetic....See MoreHow can we decorate around this wallpaper pattern?
Comments (12)Japanese!! Yes; now you've said that I can't believe that hadn't dawned on me before, but it's probably why I chose it in the first place. I do have a love of Japanese styling and there's quite a bit of it in other rooms of the house. The bedhead is a neutral linen so I think I could get away with some subtle Japanese styling around it. I like the idea of paper lampshades and Japanese style side tables. Thank you....See MoreThis or that: Busy or Plain Wallpaper?
Comments (9)I see wallpapered ceilings a bit in photos. See example. I can't imagine that would be easy to do! An application I did like was wallpaper between dark painted rafters. It was really effective. I don't envy the person who had to do that job. Or anyone who wants to remove it later. In my previous home, every room had been wallpapered sometime in the 80's. All bedrooms, hallway, living room, kitchen, bathroom, toilet. Quite a process to remove! I don't mind wallpaper but I didn't like the ones in that home. I think wallpaper can work really well in homes with a grander scale. High ceilings, architectural trims etc. In smaller homes, a restrained use is more appropriate IMO....See MoreCathedral ceiling in kitchen
Comments (26)To assist with harnessing the sea breeze suggest a beautiful long narrow feature window that follows either side of the pitch of the roof (which will let in a lovely sky view plus breeze), or just have the top triangle as a window. Understand the desire to have the small window there however in a room with big glass/window features, the small window looks like an after thought and is at the wrong scale....See MoreVy
