What are the best sources for Wallpaper? The Ultimate Wallpaper Guide

I love using wallpaper and am always excited when a client tells me that they are up for incorporating it into a space in their home. Typically I have tended to use wallpaper in powder rooms and dining rooms, but lately I have used it in a couple of bedrooms and an office. It makes such an impact even if you go with a more subtle paper.

Here is a roundup of some of my favorite places to find wallpaper!

I’ll start with York Wallcoverings which is the company that makes this beautiful paper we used in my client’s home office. I love that this paper has a bit of golden shimmer to it and yet still works so well in this masculine space.

Next up is Serena & Lily ! We used this paper as an accent wall behind my client’s bed and it is so subtle but really makes the room sing. I have another bedroom project ongoing right now and we just had a Serena and Lily grasscloth paper installed - I can’t wait to share the finished room photos.

Phillip Jeffries has SO many options that I love and is my first choice when a client wants to go BOLD and dramatic. I love how we transformed both of these bathroom by incorporating their fabulous patterns.

Graham and Brown makes so many fun options and this one was the winner for my client’s dining room. We also installed the wall paneling because I think this type of pattern could get a bit too busy if it were floor to ceiling in a space this large.

I love Anthropologie for their fashion and home decor, but they also sell some playful and whimsical wallpaper.

Where are your favorite places to shop for wallpaper? Are you planning to use wallpaper in your home this year?

Teen Bedroom Design - Bergen County NJ decorator

I am so thrilled to share this teen room makeover! My client and her daughter were so much fun to work with every step of the way as we transformed her bedroom. On the initial questionnaire form, my client wrote that she was “Looking for something softer/more feminine” and I think we definitely achieved that goal with the finished space. Now I am antsy to get started on another teen bedroom transformation so get in touch if you’d like to chat about a new room for your tween or teen!

Here is the photo that I took when I first met my client and her daughter.

Let’s zoom in a bit to see the fantastic wallpaper accent wall behind the bed. It is a subtle and sophisticated pattern.

The other side of the room features a gorgeous built-in including a desk - here is a peek (I love the desk chair).

This built-in was designed to not only include a desk, but it also provides so much storage that there is now no need for a dresser in the room anymore.

When I first met my client for our consultation, her daughter had a dresser and a desk along with a couple of other storage pieces.

Now the space is so much more streamlined and I love how everything is hidden for such a clean look.

All of the details are just gorgeous from the Quartz countertops to the antique brass hardware and trimwork.

I can’t get enough of this upholstered bed and timeless bedding.

Every teen needs a mirror in their room and I love how we have such a pretty view in the reflection of this large brass wall mirror.

I would love to work on more teen and tween bedroom transformations- they have become my favorite type of project.

Teenage Bedroom Transformation - Bergen County Interior Designer

My clients contacted me in the spring to ask me to do a room transformation for their tween daughter who was going away to sleepaway camp. They wanted it to be a surprise for her when she came home from camp and this sounded SO fun to me! Of course I was up for this project. We had a tight turnaround time, but got it all done and I am so happy to hear that this lucky girl LOVES her new room!!

Here is a photo of her room that I took the day that I first stopped by to take measurements.

As you can see, it was a total transformation with all new furniture, wall color and window treatments.

It’s all in the details - I love the ruffles in the drapes, the new ceiling fixture and the handle bar on the night stands.

I hope that she finds her new desk space to be a productive spot to get homework done.

Here is a before photo of her desk area:

My client told me how much her daughter loves dogs so I was happy to find these adorable prints to display over her bed.

I think this new space will grow with her through middle and high school and I can even see her wanting to bring some of these items to her college dorm. I know I want the night stand and table lamp for my own house :)

One more side by side before/after shot. You’ll notice that when we put the new furniture in place, we moved the nightstand to the other side of her bed. So now it’s front and center when she enters her new room. It was too pretty to hide on the back wall!

I would LOVE to do more tween / teen bedrooms, so definitely reach out to chat about a makeover for your child!

Dining Room Transformation - NJ interior designer

This dining room transformation was so exciting to see come together! As a blank slate project, this is my favorite type because we started from scratch with everything brand new.

Here is where we started with the room:

I love the new light fixtures, especially how the sconces feature the new artwork between them.
