I just covered the walls of my office with this stunning tone on tone onyx gloss wallpaper and it has me on a wallpaper kick! Wall coverings have a wonderful way of transforming a room. The simple addition of texture, color and interest takes any plain wall to the next level. A spectacular wallpaper really becomes the focal point of your room ... dictating the color palette and theme of all that surrounds it.

The Kelly Wearstler wallpaper I used in my office has been a favorite of mine for a long time. I've been in love with it since I saw the gorgeous green version in Chloe Sevigny's home. And the color coordinated bicycle?! I mean, really!? It can't get any better.

This blackbird patterned wallpaper from Cavern Home makes such an impact in this delightfully modern nursery. I love to use bold wallpaper such as this on a focal wall surrounded by walls painted in a complimentary color. The mossy green paint of this room is warm and cozy and nicely sets off the cushy orange rocker that adds a little pop. The whimsical wallpaper really is the star, pulling the whole room together ... love it!

For a soft and supple approach to your walls, I love the idea of chenille wall coverings. It has a refreshing tone and texture and adds tremendous depth to your walls. Consider covering a part of your wall in a textured wallpaper like this to make the perfect bulletin board. Frame it out in a painted wood, add a little nailhead trim and you've added instant architectural interest to your room!
