Leitmotif

Looking through my files of wall paper inspirations I found a lot I tend to gravitate to: Blue/green/gray with white/gold or silver. These gorgeous baroque inspired damask papers with grand patterns, which in turn become the almost neutral background for a variety of different styles. Going modern or traditional a strong patterned paper will always pull a room out of the ordinary towards a statement!
It's a wonderful way to accent one wall (A great way of adding instant glamour if you are on a budget) and yet the result is going to be VA-VA-VROOM! Or wrap yourself in a whole room filled with amazement...

  1. Love a great damask, especially in such great shades of blue.

  2. I love oversize damask wallpapers and just did several posts on them. I honestly never thought of them in blue and green; I seem drawn to the golds and silvers and tone on tones.
    I love the colors!

  3. Just the sort of paper I am looking for - in the new addition- perhaps for our bedroom wall - Thanks for joining me in yoga.

  4. I love the first room. I like most how solid colors are used to offset the wallpaper. While I love these wallpaper designs, the last home I saw them in had that similar designs on everything I got claustrophobic. It's great to see it can be used in a great way that won't make me dizzy and ill! Hehe.
