One of the comments I heard most in my room at the ASID Showhouse this last month was "So, is wallpaper back in style?". I was very surprised. I guess most people don't read blogs and magazines like I do, so they've missed the memo on that. Yes, it is in style, not only that.....it never went out of style! Designers have been using wallpaper forEVER. It is a wonderful tool for bringing pattern and interest to a space and a quick way to personalize your home.
My Showhouse bathroom, above, for a teenaged girl. The wallpaper was the star. It was so fun to see visitor's expressions on their faces when they turned to look into the bathroom and saw all that color and pattern. Photos by Miro Dvorscak.
Okay, enough about my Showhouse room, I know I'm beating an old horse to death here. Let's move on to see who else has been using wallpaper in fresh new ways in the past few years!
