I love wallpaper, and I’m not talking about your grandma’s wallpaper! Wallpaper has changed so much in recent years!  There are extravagant prints, dimensional fabrics, innovative materials that can be applied to walls.  By creating drama, wallpaper brings something special to a room. Easy to apply and remove(and available in self-sticking too), its easy to update the look. Here are my favorite wallpapers along with some you can find in my designs!

Palmetto Stripe by Palm Orleans // Interior Design by Valerie Legras Atelier

This palmetto plant pattern is inspired by the dwarf palmetto found in the Louisiana bayou. I used this wallpaper in the design of this New Orleans home to accent the bar and keep the focus on the other large elements in the room.

Eldorado by Elitis

We love this wallpaper by Elitis and they describe it as “real effects of plant materials inspired by artistic expression which knows no limits. Caress the authenticity of their reliefs, soak up the rich pigments that bring them to life. Eldorado is a dream come true, and its natural energy, a true treasure.”

Ink Blots by Porter Teleo

Porter Teleo’s beautiful handmade “Ink Blot” wallpaper.  They create organic forms by blotting ink onto Japanese paper, featuring one, large, vertical ink blot per roll. No two ink blots are alike, they are all individual. The blot does not cross the horizontal seam and avoids a chaotic visual result.”
