Not for Wallflowers: 6 Homes with Daring Wallpaper
Wallpaper is one of decorating's most polarizing decisions. Whether you love it or hate it, check out these six homes whose owners chose to go all-in with wallcoverings that make a statement.
The once public hallway between the two apartments now boasts a bold wallpaper by Kravitz Design for Flavor Paper.
Playful wallpaper from Graham & Brown livens up the house’s otherwise staid
powder room, which also contains a
pint-size Ikea sink.
Simon and Eva Luna play in front of a wall covered in Daks wallpaper from Walnut.
The headboard in Hansen’s bedroom echoes the 2013 side-board. The wallpaper is from Arte.
The second story has two rooms and a bathroom. Storey uses the room overlooking the street as his architecture studio, and the quiet back room as a bedroom. Its small balcony is the height of the avocado tree canopy, giving him the sense that he sleeps in a tree.
The wallpaper is the architect’s own design. “The wallpaper is called Torn and Confused,” he says. “It was originally designed to look like it was torn from the wall, exposing another layer of wallpaper underneath. I love the irony of using it on a new house.”
