Designer Tip Tuesday: The Designer Pages-Carol



Today's Tip comes from Carol who designs and blogs over at The Design Pages. She lives in beautiful Canada and is constantly doing DIY projects. Some of her furniture pieces she has re-done are just amazing. So on to her tip...

Thanks so much to Kayla for inviting me to be part of this great series.  





Use Wallpaper to Liven up a Room

For so many years we shied away from wallpaper in our homes.  Lately it's made a huge resurgence on the design scene.  It's a great way to add drama even if you chose not to wallpaper a whole room.   A little bit goes a long way.  Try wallpapering only one wall and carry the colours throughout the room.

Use wallpaper in a tiny powder room. It looks glamorous and you completely forget about the size of the room.

If bright and bold is too much of a risk you can take a safer route and go with a nature inspired theme.

Even the kids can get in on the action with this design trend.  There's plenty of kid-friendly designs for kids of all ages.

So what do you think?  Are you a fan of wallpaper?  

Thanks for having me Kayla!

  1. Yes!!!! I seriously can't wait till we have our very own house that way I won't be so limited to decorating!! For a while I almost convinced myself not to HANG anything on the walls so we don't have to fill the holes or get charged when we end up moving, but I was finally like...WHO CARES! And i've been decorating away. hah!
