At $400 a double roll bolt, well, keep an eye on your budget. (If your wall is 44″ long, then you’ve got to use 84″ of wallpaper to cover it … and 40″ of it (nearly four feet long!) goes into the trash. Lots of odd angles, tricky wall areas, unfortunate dimension logistics … all in all, priming and then installing the room took a full 10 hours.Īlso, the design had a 42″ repeat, which can mean a whole lot of waste when matching the pattern. Note that I said the wallpaper was easy-ish to work with. Non-wovens are designed to strip off the wall easily and with no damage when you redecorate. It’s a nice non-woven material, and relatively easy to work with – although it is subject to creasing very easily with normal handling. The pattern is called Luzon and is by Lee Joffa. It’s plain that she made the right decision. Kinda hard to explain.Īt any rate, the lady of the house decided to not cover this sloped section with wallpaper. Whether the paper was up there, or was not up there, you would end up with a sloped wall that didn’t match up with the horizontal line of where the crown molding ran around the room. The homeowner and I debated whether or not to continue the wallpaper up and onto this short sloped area. The trim carpenter said it was not possible to get the angles and widths to sync to the different wall surfaces, so crown molding could not go on this one area. The crown molding on the walls to both the right and left descends to about half-way down this slope. Look closely, and you’ll see an angled area just below the ceiling probably under the stairs or maybe under the roof. Over the doors and windows (no pics), you can see the full lotus leaf motif. Note: This area over the shower is a little shorter than other header areas in the room. This worked out nicely for the blue lotus leaves, in the same way. I positioned the pattern so the ducks would be fully visible in these spaces (meaning, without getting their heads or feet chopped off). Much of the room was these short areas over the doors, windows, and as you see here, the shower. Duck is situated right above the backsplash. But I think it looks better, and I enjoyed plotting it all out. Yeah, it took a lot of engineering and math and time, and, yes, the mirror is going to hide it. I centered the dominant motifs on the sink and faucet. But once the paper got up on the walls, it was clear that this is an adventurous wallpaper – but certainly not overly bold or dramatic. The homeowner was worrying that the murky blue lotus leaves would overpower. I find the colors quite muted and neutral, and they coordinate nicely with the vanity countertop. But she wanted something a little bolder in this bathroom, which is situated off the kitchen and also has a door leading to the backyard pool. Indeed, most of the house is decorated in the white – cream – gray theme. The homeowner loves a calm, serene look.
