If you have ever attended a design meeting with me in the past then you know the color choices I prefer on the interior of a home. White. Bright White. It’s not due to a lack of liking color or not, but the home is a background to life. It should be light and bright and provide a canvas for you to frame what is important to you. That being said I have to admit over the past two years I have grown a foundness to maybe whats considered the most dreadful material to a modernist, wallpaper. This may have spawned from the fact that I grew up with a series of colorful kite wallpaper, which for a seven year old (which I was when it was installed) was pretty cool but for an eighteen year old didn’t really reflect my tastes. More recently I have grown found of the contrast between modern and texture. My prefered wall papers are still generally monochrome but in some applications (like the Phinney Modern) I love the character a bright color adds to a room. With the technological tools we have today we can also create our own designs and have them printed into a mural or pattern. I have attached a few pictures of wallpaper I love and some we have used or have been used by our clients.
