CEILINGS: THE FIFTH WALL...

Nowadays designers are using an often forgotten jewel as a source for creativity - the fifth wall aka the CEILING

There are tons of options besides just paint to further the design aesthetic in a space and to create lots of visual interest and impact...

A FRESH APPROACH TO WALLPAPER...

I am a big fan of wallpaper because it adds such panache to the design of a space. It is one of the greatest design element I try to incorporate into any room that I can (including my own).

Although the options are almost limitless, I have a few go-to favorite companies, one of them being Thibaut Designs. Their styles run the gamut but their "forte" (if you will) is in the transitional genres and their price point in wonderful (that's very subjective, I know).

They have all types of wallpaper from vinyls (use mostly in commercial applications) to textured grasscloths (which has made a resurgence since the 70s) to embossed or flocked papers (again reminiscent of the 70s) to metallics (you know I love a little bling).

Here are some of my Thibaut faves:
Velvet Jacquard
Corsico Square
Maryse
Mojito
Julian
Shalimar
Kaleidoscope
Arran
Now Thibaut, having already branched out into textiles, has expanded their offerings to include a classic furniture line. We'll explore those next time...

Happy trend spotting!


Peace and Blessings,
Tammy
