I am in the midst of designing my stand for Maison Objet and my biggest dilemma (apart from the fact that its three weeks away and I still have no products) is what to do with the walls. I want the stand to look like a home thinking country house lodge with a bit of rock chic thrown in.
The bare nothing on the wall look is not my thing – beyond dull if I can be so blunt. Walls need to be embellished whether that’s with art, cladding, sculpture, beautiful wall lights, or wallpaper. Couple of images below have drawn my attention – wallpaper and the bookcase kind that I so adore enlivens even the smallest nook, and cladding . The hodge podge approach in the image is fun but a little too busy for me I feel. At home on a funny little wall under our stairs we have tonge and grooved and then painted out the same colour as the walls so its textural but very much part of the overall scheme.
Wallpaper is a fantastic way of changing the feel of a space – here the feel is gentleman’s club meets Parisian boho – its a beautiful combination if I could wear this paper I would!
Cladding is also great particularly if you have lumpy bumpy walls.
WOW WOW WOW to those papers! Agree with the wall embellishments -I seem to be subconsciously working with lots of mirrors which is creating some very intruiging effects around the rooms. Aside from the obvious effect of enlarging spaces, some shiny surfaces (such as glass) are making beautiful reflections as well! Just so interesting discovering these things at different times. oxo
I just accidently came upon your website and am addict!Your colour choices and combinations are absolutely breathtaking….can’t wait to visit your store when next in London. I adore the wallpaper.. library effect..where can I purchase this?
The second wallpaper photo is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!! Looks like a lot of wooden slats, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me the company or website where we can find it.
It is a load of wooden slats and believe the homeowner just put it together themselves – unfortuantely I don’t know where its from
