As we transition into spring (finally!!!), there’s no better time to refresh your space with thoughtful, luxurious details. While wallpaper has long been a go-to for elevating walls, its potential goes far beyond. From statement ceilings to unexpected pops of pattern in hidden spaces, incorporating couture wallpaper in new ways can breathe fresh life into your interiors. Let's go!
1. The Fifth Wall: Wallpapered Ceilings
Ceilings are often an overlooked canvas, but a beautifully patterned or textured wallpaper can turn them into a show stopping feature of your home. Imagine a hand-painted chinoiserie scene above a dining table, a gilded metallic finish in a lounge, or a deep, moody print in a bedroom to create an enveloping effect. I'm in!
Pro Tip: Balance a bold ceiling with neutral walls to maintain a sophisticated aesthetic.
2. Luxurious Lining for Cabinets & Shelving
Transform everyday storage into something extraordinary by lining the back of bookshelves, display cabinets, or even drawers with an exquisite wallpaper print. This subtle yet impactful detail adds an element of surprise and sophistication. This one is my favorite and something we recommend all the time to clients near and far.
Best Styles: Delicate florals for a romantic touch, rich textures like faux tweed for a high-end feel, or bold prints for a modern twist.
3. Statement Stair Risers
Wallpapering stair risers is a brilliant way to introduce personality and elegance into a space. Whether you opt for an ombré effect, a classic damask, or a playful pattern, this unexpected design choice makes every step a delight.
Pro Tip: Choose a durable, wipeable wallpaper to keep the design pristine over time.
4. Inside Closet & Wardrobe Doors
Open your wardrobe to a world of beauty by lining the inside of closet doors with stunning wallpaper. It’s a small detail that brings daily delight and makes even functional spaces feel intentionally designed.
Best Styles: Soft pastels for a dreamy dressing room, metallic finishes for a modern touch, or dark florals for a moody, intimate vibe.
5. Framed Wallpaper as Art
If committing to a full wallpapered wall isn’t in the cards, consider framing panels of your favorite design. This creates a high-impact, moveable statement piece that exudes luxury.
Ideas to Try: Create a diptych or triptych with oversized frames, use gilded or lacquered frames for added drama, or layer different patterns for a gallery-style effect.
