MATERIALS: GOT SILK?
Although there are a plethora
of materials on the market, the
ever-popular, classic silk tops them
all this year — popular with both
designers and manufacturers alike.
Rebecca Creal, managing director
of Trend, says silk continues to be
an important fabric this year.
Ronald Redding, vice president of
design for York, says their customer
“can’t seem to get enough of silks.”
He also points out the more natural
looking linen/cotton blends are also
very popular.

provides classic appeal, as does the black trim on the black-and-white chair cushion. Courtesy

Wallpaper murals star in redecorated rooms
With the school year starting again,
some families will soon be dealing
with an empty bedroom left behind
by a college-bound freshman. With
space at a premium in a small home,
the question becomes how best to
use that suddenly available square
footage.
It’s more than a cliche that parents
wave a tearful goodbye until the
young scholar’s car turns the corner
and then race back inside to stake
claim to the room. The reason is
that there are many demands for an
empty spare bedroom: A new home
office, a much-needed extra guest
bedroom or a solo bedroom for the
next oldest child in the household
are just a few possibilities.
A themed mural can work wonders
when the challenge is to convert a
bedroom with limited possibilities
from a feminine space to a
masculine one or vice versa.
While parents might be sorry to see
an older child leave the nest,
younger siblings are often eager to
take over the room. They may even
have some ideas about how they
want to change it.
CHANGE IS POSSIBLE
Some elements of the room may
have to stay the same for practical
reasons, like the built-in desk and
bed in the photo shown here. But
lots of changes can be made, even if
it’s necessary to work from the color
scheme already in place.
It’s best if expensive built-in pieces
are neutral or a natural wood finish
in order to increase the longevity of

the investment; however, the coral
red here that was probably chosen
by a female occupant has been
successfully converted into a theme
room appropriate for a male. The
secret ingredient is a mural called
“Go West” from York Wallcovering.
It sells for $325 and provides a very
affordable way to create a totally
new feeling in the room by using a
very old idea.
Wallpaper has been around for a
long time. It began when the
Chinese, who invented paper, glued
rice papers onto their walls as early
as 200 B.C. The knowledge of papermaking was spread during the
eighth century by a Chinese
prisoner captured by Arabs, who
then carried the knowledge
throughout Europe.
Around 1481 Jean Bourdichon
painted angels on a blue background
for the king of France. By 1675 this
evolved into engraved block designs
printed in continuous patterns
intended to be matched piece to
piece by a guild of paperhangers.
POPULAR IN THE ‘70S
Wallpaper murals became popular
in the 1970s, when they were often
used in offices where people waiting
for appointments could view the
mountains of Yosemite or waves
crashing on a distant shore. Many
were photographic enlargements,
and others were graphic-style
renditions of trees, flowers or clouds
in various shades of one or two
colors.
Wallpaper fell out of popularity
during parts of the 1900s, and it’s no

longer as popular in contemporary
designs as it once was. But here at
the start of a new millennium
wallcovering manufacturers are
revisiting this concept and creating
some fun options. If you are looking
for a modestly priced design idea
that won’t break the budget,
wallpaper murals are a terrific
solution.
Look for themes that range from
old-fashioned nursery rhymes to
flowers to characters from children’s
literature for smaller family
members. More grown-up subjects,
from highly stylized street scenes to
Americana to nature, are available
for teenagers and adults.
CHECK THE TEXTURE
If your wall has a drywall texture on
it, choose a scene that is
multicolored and heavily patterned.
The underlying texture won’t be as
problematic as if you were installing
a delicate floral paper.
Make sure that any loose paint or
previous wallpaper has been scraped
off the walls. If you are not
confident about your ability to hang
the mural, contact a professional
paperhanger. He or she will be able
to do it faster and better, leaving
behind a space transformed for its
new occupant.
