When we decided on an organic patterned wallpaper for the dining room, I knew I had to use the Aegean Stripes (another front runner) somewhere close by. I fell madly in love with those sophisticated, elegant lines, and they looked SO good as a natural contrast to an organic toile. So, I quickly pivoted to using the stripes in the neighboring hallway. This hallway is small, but highly visible thanks to it being the connecting hallway from the kitchen to the bonus room/playroom as well was to the laundry room AND the entrance from the garage (which is our main entrance as a family). So needless to say, we pass through this corridor quite a bit!

I got the inside scoop on Spoonflower launching Grasscloth wallpaper (today’s the big day!), and my mind was reeling. Texture has been trending, and grasscloth is such an easy way to boost the texture in a room. But the combination of these wallpapers adding both texture *and* pattern to a room is exciting …and efficient! Spoonflower represents thousands of artists, who offer their designs on wallpaper, curtains, tablecloths, etc. It’s truly thrilling that ANY of the MANY wallpapers I’ve saved from Spoonflower can be produced on gorgeous grasscloth now.

I love seeing these textured stripes through the transom window and glass swinging door. I LOVE seeing this wallpaper coming down the stairs of the bonus room. If you have a tight hallway–I couldn’t recommend wallpaper enough. It added EVERYTHING this space needed (warmth! pattern! texture! sophistication!) while taking away zero inches from the width of the space.

After it was installed, I might have said…well THIS would have looked incredible in the dining room. But it’s really probably because I just want more of it. So..anyone want to install this in their dining room and send me pics to drool over? :)
