I’ve been actually intimidated by the concept of placing holes in my one stunning wallpapered wall in our house, and much more so by the concept of discovering the right artwork to layer with it! Pairing artwork and wallpaper is a type of issues that requires professionals and second opinions. It ain’t simple!
So, I made a decision to dig into the depths of the web to search out some examples that I actually love. The very best half is most of those are tremendous simple to duplicate: Usually, I discovered the precise wallpaper and in some instances the artwork! Now I simply have to chunk the bullet and do my very own room!
Cole & Son’s ‘Palm Leaves’ with considered one of Jaime Derringer’s notorious black and white abstracts is a wallpaper and artwork match made in heaven. The graphic nature of each work so properly as a result of whereas one is busy, the opposite is easy, and the distinction – in addition to scale – is vital! Additionally they each have a modernist vibe that helps deliver the 2 collectively. I like this for a lounge or bed room.
And talking of contrasts… Jenny Andrews Anderson’s ‘bowls’ sequence seems to be fairly improbable layered on prime of a medium-scale floral print like ‘Magnolia Blossoms‘ from Anthropologie. The softness of the florals compliments the summary graphic nature of the art work! The important thing here’s a little continuity in shade palette – however with out being too matchy. The above picture occurs to be in a eating room, the place this pairing feels sudden and playful!
It’s at all times a good suggestion to combine conventional with non-traditional. Taking your grandmother’s wallpaper and pairing it with tasteful nude sketches? Positively a good suggestion. The basic Colefax & Fowler ‘Casimir’ sample pairs properly with considered one of many nudes from the Etsy store Frenchy Gallery – an awesome supply for these sketches. But when nudes aren’t your factor, don’t fear. The content material just isn’t so key right here because the fashion. Any sort of sketch and even architectural rendering would work in protecting issues easy whereas layering on a busier basic sample like this one.
I fell in love with this wallpaper the second I noticed it. There’s one thing so pure and natural about the best way it flows, and the leaves really feel sudden in blue too! Partitions like these are a bit simpler to layer on, however I like the tonal strategy that was taken right here. Artwork in shades of blue of light black and white, like this ‘Cool Summer time’ print on Minted. This matchup would go properly anyplace in the home, however the scale of the wallpaper lends itself properly to a bigger room.
Whereas the blue leafy wallpaper was a extra natural strategy, right here we see black and white going a extra graphic course! The artwork is even specified by a extra structured means. Geometric wallpaper like this sample can typically make issues simpler in the case of layering, so the plain selection is to borrow from this inspiration with loads of black and white artwork items. Nonetheless, I like the addition of one thing a bit softer like this masks print to steadiness all of it out.
This pairing could be considered one of my favourite – it feels very Pacific Northwest to me! Farrow & Ball’s ‘Aranami’ is one sample I by no means tire of, and I like this summary, Japanese fashion wave paired with a classic seascape. I like discovering outdated work like these to border up and place round the home, really! As in the event that they’ve been there eternally.
You possibly can at all times rely on Justina Blakeney to deliver the boho, and this pairing in her eating room is a complete win in my e-book. Her ‘Aja’ wallpaper in aubergine builds a fantastic backdrop to a dramatic portrait like this one from Parastoo Pakzad. I like this print as an alternate to the extra conventional palm like the primary room we confirmed right here.
Sidenote, Saatchi is by far the most effective locations to seek for authentic artwork on-line.
