Today’s post involves my most
recent project, a new and beautifully updated foyer for one of my clients. I feel
the entrance hallway is the most vital element in one’s home, because it reflects
the tone of the rest of your house; in short, it is the first impression.
All great foyers and hallways
start as an idea. My client’s image was for something elegant and have it make
a significant statement. The wallcovering with a matte silver background gives
a contemporary and updated look, while the chinoiserie floral pattern is in keeping
with the colonial style of the home. Brunschwig & Fils is the name of the
wallpaper design house, the pattern is ‘Bird and Thistle’; it is taken from the
Winterthur Museum collection. B&F have taken their iconic style and have redesigned
their entire collection with a more contemporary feel.
As an interior designer, the
concept of and overall “design flow” is critical in keeping with the style and
theme of your home. The reason that wallpaper has always been my favorite
element in any interior is the fact that it can fill a room with fantastic character.
Whether that be traditional, contemporary or eclectic, your home should feel
seamless from the foyer all the way around.
With Spring just around the corner,
it is time to think about a “new feel” for your home. So stop by The Four Walls
and view all of the new Spring Collections.
And, as I always say, “Don’t be afraid to decorate!”
Best,
Robin
