Trend : Modern Wallpaper

Looking back to December, I wrote a post, Stuck On You, about adhesive wallpaper. That is the creative wallpaper for those who may be afraid of commitment or simply rent their current living space. I revisited the idea of wallpaper this week during our local business professionals meeting in Franklin, Indiana. Dick Harmening, owner of DH Advertising, asked us if wallpaper was making a come back. Many of the kind businessmen at our meetings aren’t familiar with modern trends. So for Dick and others who can’t see beyond wallpaper of the 20th century, here are some modern wallpaper trends!

A simple, clean graphic print is perfect for a powder room. When using graphic prints, you must consider the size of the space and the print, itself. Using this wallpaper on the walls works well with the wainscoting to provide a contrast against the print and a place for the eye to rest.

Graphic wallpaper can be used on a single wall to create a very dramatic impact. Paired with the chartreuse dining chairs, it is very modern and glamorous.

A seamless blend of styles. The wallpaper in this space brings a modern feel without being loud or dramatic. It compliments the lines found on the patterns in the glass door panels and windows.
A subtle textured wallpaper can help a room feel comfortable. Especially in a space with many hard surfaces such as the fireplace, wainscoting and flooring.
Another example of textured wallpaper. Brings a very warm feeling.
When thinking about what to do with your walls, consider wallpaper! It has come a long way in the past years. It can make a space go from ordinary to charming! It was hard to select just a few inspiration photos to share, so I encourage you to contact us for more ideas!

Black : Chandeliers

While assisting a kind client select a chandelier today, I couldn’t help but become so hooked on black chandeliers. It’s dramatic and bold. It catches your eye. It adds sophistication. Regardless of traditional or modern design, a black chandelier works across the board.

This chandelier has an organic and natural look. Fits in perfectly with the large wall of windows and the doors. At night-time, it probably has a gentle, soft glow between the branches and stems of the chandelier. Beautiful!

Drum shades are an excellent solution for a chandelier in a space that is used for formal and casual dining. If you have one eating area in your home, consider using a bold drum shade. They are charming and casual at the same time. Perfect for modern, everyday living!

And when you’re overwhelmed by your choices of sleek, stylish black light fixtures, just install them all! Well, that is a joke, but it actually works great in this space. Who would have thought? The metallic finish inside the fixtures is a perfect touch of glamour to compliment this dining room.
The appearance of a chaotic, tangle of wires and lights is the focal point for this space. Everything is so simple and lets the chandelier steal the show. This chandelier brings not only light, but excitement and life to the room. The light wall color helps the chandelier show off its black beauty.
