Wallpaper Picks and Tricks

Wallpapers are a fan favorite with Michael P. Design. Let's explore some of our designers top picks and talk all things install, color choices and where to use wallpaper for unique and effective design.

Tricks

#1

Have an expert measure how much you'll need and don't install it by yourself. You'll thank us later.

#2

Find colorways within your furniture and room. It doesnt have to be a perfect match, but by having bits of color accents the wallpaper will better flow with the balance of the space. Youll want to focus on tones meaning cool and warm, this will aid you in creating a feel of the space. If you're someone who loves the glam, aim towards jewel tones and if you want a homey living area, go with yellows and oranges for the cozy space you dream of.

#3

Keep the scale in mind. Some designs are smaller and would be better fit for a small space, others have larger expanded patterns that have a huge impact on how they appear in the room.

#4

Pick something that fits your personality. Each of our designers own taste shines through in their wallpaper picks and so should yours. Always go with the ones that make you excited!

Picks

Michael P.- Hierarchy 'Blush' by Divine Savages

Hierarchy celebrates the intricately carved stonework that adorns the exterior of London’s Natural History Museum to create a striking wallcovering full of architectural splendour as well as the incredible natural world. The gargoyles featured here are not grotesque or of mythological form, but rather intricately carved animals, with a proud lion taking centre stage.

Courtney- Idle Diversions-A - Andy by Red Disk

INSPIRED BY THE DOODLES CREATED BY CHARLES E. BURCHFIELD

Idle Diversions contains several doodles from among thousands created by Charles E. Burchfield during his lifetime. Burchfield explained, “Doodling, in my case, is a free exercise in abstraction, unpremeditated and therefore not a conscious expression since they are done at a time of some other activity. It is a compulsive sort of thing: if I have a pencil in my hand, there may be doodles all over envelopes, magazines, or whatever happens to be at hand.” Nature was his primary source. His imaginative doodles play on wildflower blossoms, roots and tendrils, sprouting trees, croaking frogs, moths and insects, birds, a crescent moon, wind direction, sparkling stars, and ambient sounds. Symmetrical doodles have the appearance of curious creatures about to hop off the paper. These “seemingly idle diversions” provided abstract motifs for his “serious pictures,” and continue to amuse us today.
