After I final wrote about our basement design mission, we had simply completed portray the basement stairs! This alteration made such a large distinction, and it was the primary of some updates I knew I needed to make within the basement stairwell.
Immediately I’m writing in regards to the newest replace in our basement design mission: the wallpaper I chosen for the basement stairwell.
Learn on for all the small print on why I selected the wallpaper sample I did.
The Ottoline Wallpaper I Chosen for the Basement Stairwell
I selected a daring, distinctive wallpaper sample from Ottoline referred to as Bloomsbury Stripes. I really like the colours, the size, and that it reads like a stripe—however with a large twist. This wallpaper will likely be put in on the partitions on the high of the basement stairwell, extending from the ceiling to the painted wooden paneling. I feel this wallpaper would make a large impression in any smaller area like a powder room or hallway.
Right here’s Why I Selected This Ottoline Wallpaper
This was a very tough wallpaper to pick out as a result of there are such a lot of design parts surrounding the spot the place will probably be put in! The steps open up proper into the kitchen eating space, entrance hallway from the storage, visitor rest room, and Birdie’s room (previously the visitor room). I had to consider how the wallpaper would tie in with the design of every of those rooms. I additionally needed to contemplate how the wallpaper would play with the adjoining supplies—primarily the feel of the marble flooring and the wooden paneling on the partitions. Any wallpaper sample that was the identical scale because the paneling felt unsuitable, as did any sample that appeared too natural just like the veining on the marble.
Initially, I used to be contemplating wallpaper with a petite dot sample, however I saved coming again to this zigzag striped Ottoline sample. There’s one thing in regards to the scale of the sample and the colours on this wallpaper that tie in rather well with the adjoining wooden and marble supplies. It acts as a pleasant bridge between all the various design parts. It additionally works as a stunning backdrop to the colours of the kitchen cupboards!
