Scenic Walls

muralspro.com

Wallpaper has made a comeback in the last few years and a wonderful array of patterns and textures is available to the homeowner today.  A popular trend with historic roots is the selective use of scenic
wall decor. Used in limited applications to showcase a specific room or area, scenic wallpapers lend both drama and whimsy to the home.  I love the classic beauty of wall decor offered by wallpaper companies like Zuber and de Gournay, especially when handpainted.  An equally effective and affordable option is using wall mural decals which are easy to apply and change without requiring a large expense and time for installation.

Bringing beautiful natural scenery into the home is easily done with wall mural decals as in the photos above.  In each of these interiors, landscapes of forest and beach give one a feeling of calm and tranquility.  The viewer is transported to these locations and the rooms feel enlarged with the eye
travelling through the spaces.  If you live in an urban area, a cityscape applied to one wall is colorful and exciting as in the photo below.

In the next two photos,  city skylines in silhouette add drama to plain white walls with black graphic decals.

Distant and exotic locations are especially appealing in bathrooms and bedrooms.  Maybe a favorite vacation was spent in these places and the murals prolong the enjoyment of special memories.

Childrens' bedrooms and playrooms offer opportunities to create magical environments with wall mural decals.  A favorite storybook or theme can be recreated and the possibilities are only limited by one's imagination.  As the child grows, pealable decals can easily change the decorative scenes.

 Wall decals in single motifs artistically enhance areas of the home where larger patterns and scenes
would overwhelm the spaces. Individual trees are a favorite image in the following photos.

Calligraphy is another design trend that many people like to use in their homes. Printed messages on wall decals can be serious, romantic or whimsical.  The homeowner's personality and interests are evident in the selected passages seen in the following photos.

Sometimes a wall decal offers a design solution for awkward areas. In the photos below, large blank walls are more interesting with applied decals where smaller-scale artwork would seem lost or crowded by a wall-mounted television.

The Wishbone Chair

It may be bitter cold outside but the Wishbone chair is very hot.  An enduring example of  ever-popular Danish design, the chair was invented in 1949 by Wegner for the Carl Hansen Company.  It was created to be a work of art that also provides exceptional comfort to the human body.  Almost every current shelter magazine includes images of the Wishbone chair and I love it's versatility which is suited to many different styles in today's home.

In the two dining areas above, the chairs help to blend a refreshingly modern look with a traditional space.  Whether the chairs are stained dark to contrast with a lighter wood table, or unstained to partner a dark-stained table, their appeal is both comfortable and visually exciting.  In the following three photos, the rounded backs and woven seats of the chairs give warmth to the neutral color schemes of white and bleached surfaces and furnishings.  The chairs in these photos help
to convey feelings of casual elegance as well as sophisticated modernity.

When color is applied to the Wishbone chair, it can make a room look both charming and dramatic.
In the first two photos below, the dining areas are punctuated with the chairs in a variety of happy colors.  In the second two photos, a blue-painted table surrounded with black chairs and a neutral-toned table with blue-painted chairs lend a contrast that is bold but harmonious.

The chair can also be used in exterior spaces as in the photo below. Natural woodwork and long-term durability of the chairs make them compatible with an outdoor patio table in a warm climate.
