Just saw the November 2009 issue of House Beautiful — and Cavern is featured! Love the “Blackbird” pattern in the bathroom. Especially with the mirrors reflecting the graphic image and with the wallpaper continuing onto the ceiling, the room truly becomes unique and memorable. Thanks Thom Filicia for thinking of us in your showcase!

Just got these photos from intern Karli Hendrickson of her grandmother’s house in Cape Cod. I love old wallpaper patterns and vintage design looks. And I love seeing rooms with walls and ceiling covered in bold patterns. Thanks Karli!

Whenever I want inspiration, I open my “Better Homes and Gardens Decorating Book,” published in 1961. Boasting over 300 color illustrations, the guide mixes amazing photos of mid-century modern spaces with practical advice that still holds true almost fifty years later.
Today I’ll point your attention to the idea of patterning ceilings. As Better Homes & Gardens points out, wallpaper on ceilings is smart when you want to lower a too-high ceiling or call attention to an unusual shape. I would also add that wallpapering a ceiling adds an unexpected twist to any room and asserts a confident design aesthetic. Depending on the style paper, the effect can range from edgy/cool to traditional/formal. But no matter the aesthetic, ceiling wallpaper declares that you care about your space and demonstrates that you will make sassy choices to enliven it. Remember: no risk no reward!
