Wallcovering makes a come-back

Wallcovering is still a top trend these days. With styles ranging from grass cloth (hello 1970's) to metallics, to pearl, there's something for everyone!

Here are a few of our favorites:

Grass cloth is back with a vengeance. The wonderful thing about this product is the style can fit in any design setting - from contemporary to traditional. Phillip Jeffries has some wonderful new products, shown below is their gorgeous Soho Hemp line.



One of our all-time faves, Bedazzled from Maya Romanoff. It's a flexible wallcovering consisting of glittering glass beads. Perfect for bathrooms, dining rooms, or any room in need of a little sparkle.



If you're a lover of all that is "mod", Chain Link from Phillip Jeffries is for you! Loving the orange shown here.



Talk about fun! What a great product for your kids' rooms, playrooms, or any fun room! You can paint directly into a "frame", add your family photos, or leave it simply as is. $45 a roll from Graham & Brown.

Do's and Don'ts of Design...Bedroom Design

DO Choose a serene, relaxing color for the walls.
Hues of green, blue, gray, and taupe are most calming.

DON'T Forget to use different elements of lighting.
Utilize different "layers" of light to achieve perfect illumination. You'll need a general, overhead light source, and task/reading light.

DO Invest in a high quality mattress.
We spend 1/4 of our life sleeping!

DON'T Make the TV your focal point.
Try hiding it away in a cabinet, or frame it on the wall to make more of an "artful" statement.
