Fairy Tale-ish Woodland Wonderland Pattern in Houston Heights Powder Room

May 8, 2022
Just the sink wall will be papered.
Sorry for the photos … the room is so small, and the door is blocked by the toilet, so I can’t get good distant photos.
Here’s that accent wall with the wallpaper on it.

The room also had an art niche with a curved rear wall. This is the first thing you see when you open the door.

I positioned the pattern so the dominant white flower would fall in the center of the wall, under the spotlight.
This is such a cute and whimsical pattern. Who ever heard of frolicking pigs wearing knitted sweaters?!

The manufacturer is Borastapeter from Sweden. It’s a non-woven material, and was perfectly lovely to work with. It can be hung by paste the wall , but I prefer to paste the paper .

From Bland White to Captivating Black & Gold Geometric

Vanity area before. Note the nice homeowner had the plumber remove the wall-mounted faucet and handle. This made the wallpaper installation so much easier – and eliminated a zillion relief cuts around these objects that might later give entry for splashed water to wick under and loosen the wallpaper.
Done. I centered the pattern on the wall so it hits both corners equally, and it falls perfectly around the faucet (no photo). The light fixture was hung a tad off-center.
Burnished gold accents of the light fixture, faucet (to be installed later), and toilet paper holder, as well as a gold-painted ceiling, compliment the gold lines in the pattern, and really pull this room together.
This non-woven paste-the-wall material is made by Trend, and is in the Jaclyn Smith collection. It has a slightly textured surface, and appears to be vinyl on the surface. This makes is more durable and stain-resistant than most paper wallpapers. It is thin and flexible, and I liked it a lot.
The home is a contemporary new-build in the Lindale Park neighborhood of central Houston.
