Patterned Perfection: Black & White Paisley Wallpaper

August 14, 2008 · Print This Article

It’s been a while since I’ve found a new, awesome wallpaper. Wallpaper is on its way back, believe it or not, and there’s no reason eco-savvy home decorators have to be left out of the wallpaper wave.  whether your memories of wallpaper involve hours spent with a sponge and a bucket filled with fabric softener and water, you may not be as quick to jump on the trend, but that pattern is so gorgeous, it just might change your mind.

Thanks to one of my favorite online eco-boutiques, Green with Glamour, I didn’t have to look far to find something green and…well…glamorous.  I am attracted to all things black and white, and that pretty paisley makes me love the color scheme even more.  Paisley is one of those patterns that you typically love or hate.  I love it in (very) small doses, like used to reface an old chest of drawers, but the view of seeing it

covering all the walls in a room makes me a bit claustrophobic. After all, too much of anything, no matter how beautiful, will change your mind, and fast.

But whether you room is in need of a bit of depth or pattern to mix it up, consider adding a little bit of wallpaper. whether you’re not feeling very adventurous, try using a square or rectangle of wallpaper hung centered behind a picture frame.

Why It’s Green:

  • Made of recycled paper with vegetable dyes

Price: $80/roll

How do you feel about wallpaper? Green or not, is it a trend you’d want to try (or revisit) in your home?  whether so, how and where would you use it? Leave a comment and let me know!
