1. USE COASTAL BLUES ON WALLS AND CEILINGS IN BEDROOMS

Blue is an incredibly versatile color. From pale, barely there blues to the most vibrant and regal tones, it's a hue that works with almost every decor style. Blue in a bedroom is the perfect way to create a sense of calm serenity. Soft, natural blue wallcoverings like those shown above instantly add dimension, design, and texture to a room. And when used correctly, it can draw your eye up and make the room feel larger.

Treating the ceiling as a fifth wall creates a "wow" moment. In the bedroom above, designer Megan Gorelick of Megan Gorelick Interiors uses Extra Fine Arrowroot 3841 Solitude on all four walls and the ceiling to create a calming bedroom oasis. It's one of PJ's most lustrous and durable fibers with a subtle sheen that gives it the look of raw silk. These traits make it perfect for a bedroom space. Megan specializes in clean, classic interiors infused with style, comfort, and whimsy. Natural grasscloths are the perfect pairing for an elegant interior that's comfortable and timeless.

When Phillip Jeffries was founded more than 45 years ago with just 10 grasscloths in a garage, we knew we could become the ultimate source for natural wallcoverings. Our grasscloths are handcrafted by artisans using only the finest materials and come in a variety of colors. We have the largest selection of naturals in stock and ready to ship to you today.

2. ADD WALLCOVERING BEHIND BUILT-IN BOOKCASES FOR TEXTURE AND COLOR

A gorgeous wallcovering can finish a space and bring attention to classic architectural details such as built-in bookcases. In a bedroom, the continuity of color on an accent wall provides a calming moment. 

Textile wallcoverings have a soft texture perfect for a bedroom. Designer Lisa Schiller and Kim Beynon of Schiller Beynon Interior Design create an elegant bedroom style with Silk and Abaca 3263 Polis Blue on the walls. Opulent and luxe silk filaments, along with strong and durable abaca, are woven together to create a unique texture and color strié. Available in a lustrous palette of soft, ocean-inspired colors, the Silk & Abaca collection is carefully laminated and treated with a stain repellent finish for ease in installation. 

Fine fabrics add warmth and subtle texture to your walls. They're perfectly suited for bedrooms as well as living and dining rooms. When you need it fast, order from our textile collections that are stocked in our New Jersey warehouse and shipped the same day. Learn more about our Same Day Ship TEXTILES.

 

3. OPT FOR SOFT NEUTRALS IN SMALL SPACES TO MAKE A ROOM FEEL BIGGER

In lieu of blue, a sophisticated neutral like white, beige, or gray can make a small space feel more open and brighter by adding texture and interest. And why should flat ceilings have all the fun when it comes to wallcoverings? Dramatic angles can be highlighted with the help of gorgeous wallcoverings.


In the hallway space above, designer Marguerite Rodgers of Marguerite Rodgers Interior Design uses a seamless paper weave like Driftwood which is known for its intricate weaving pattern. A warm neutral like Driftwood 1717 Camelback is the perfect way to add texture to a small space. 

The art of paper weaving began centuries ago in Japan and is still practiced today by artisans throughout the world. Handcrafted natural paper is dyed prior to weaving to create a virtually seamless wallcovering. With the largest selection, best quality, and fastest delivery, we aim to make the design process easy and inspiring. Learn more about our Same Day Ship SEAMLESS.


4. ADD ORGANIC TEXTURE IN A BATHOOM TO CREATE A SPA VIBE

Even the smallest of spaces (like this powder room) can shine when wrapped in a luxurious wallcovering. Coastal elements and luxe gold fixtures inspire a trendy, relaxed vibe.

To the left, designer Anne Carr of Anne Carr Design uses Concrete Washi 3596 Set in Cement to create the ultimate spa feeling in a small space. Concrete Washi is inspired by the texture of well-traveled pavements and showcases the easy elegance of authentic abaca pulp. The neutral color palette creates a clean and peaceful piece of art for your walls. Each panel is hand combed to create a truly artisanal piece—each and every time. The natural, rhythmic patterns are the perfect finish for a wide range of spaces.

Our Specialty wallcoverings feature handcrafted paper, metallic leaf, wood veneer, color wash, and unique relief as the hallmarks of this wallcovering collection. Step by meticulous step, artisans create works of art for your walls. Learn more about our Same Day Ship SPECIALTY.

 

5. ALLOW VERTICAL LINES TO CREATE THE FEELING OF HEIGHT

As a first impression, entryways set the tone of a home's style. Welcome guests with a neutral palette that is easily accented with gorgeous plants and a statement light fixture. A subtle vertical pattern draws the eye up and makes a room feel spacious.

Often, a large or angular space like a square foyer needs an additional design layer to feel intentional, intimate, and cozy. Classic moldings, a checkerboard marble pattern on the floor, and a neutral vinyl wallcovering provide the perfect solution for an entryway designed by Marisa La Fiosca of ML Interior Designs who uses Vinyl Basketry 7332 Greige. The light and airy space is inviting and functional.


Our performance vinyl collection is developed to reproduce the look and feel of our handcrafted natural wallcoverings. Made and stocked in the USA, these durable, washable wallcoverings can be used in high-traffic and damp areas. Learn more about our Same Day Ship VINYLS.
