The “before” image is good enough – a grey tufted headboard against a deeper grey wall. But in the “after” shot, you see how pattern, color, movement, and depth create a more interesting and inviting setting for this master bedroom.

Just about everything in this house is grey. Walls, furniture, tile floor, rugs, dishware, dog bed. Grey can easily feel cold, but accents like this wallpapered wall, and pops of color in accessories and artwork, plus textured fabrics and furniture with curves all keep the scheme from feeling too austere.

When playing with the pattern layout on the floor, all I could see was the floral pattern. But once a few strips were up on the wall, the vertical stripe design became very obvious. This is a good reason why I urge clients to always look at the room-set photo in the selection book, so you can see not just the primary design, but how the pattern will play out across a larger area.

This wallpaper pattern is from the SG line by York Wallcoverings, and was bought at a discounted price from Dorota Hartwig at Southwestern Paint on Bissonnet near Kirby.
