Interior designers are making use of floral/bird patterns in wallpapers that if done incorrectly, can turn into patterns that you would find at your grandmother’s home. There is a very fine line between Laura Ashley and what designer Bailey McCarthy has done in her own home. Bailey can be found at PeppermintBliss and she has a keen eye as an interior designer and is a successful bedding designer/business owner of Biscuit. Her design/color board outlines the design elements of her own home. Her taste is impeccable and she keeps the floral pattern modern by incorporating modern colors and cheeky art.
I’ve put a link to the high-end Anthropologie wallpaper she used as well as one stylish bargain wallpaper that features a beautiful and sophisticated vignette with flowers and birds. The high end option is exquisite, but expensive. As an aside, I’ve found that if you are a rent, you can frame a small piece of wallpaper instead of hanging it and it works as art and you get to take it with you.
I’ve put links to the the high end and the bargain below. I personally dig the bargain find more. Which one do you like the most? Do you think florals and birds are too grandma? Let us know in the comments!
