We adore everything Kara has done with Cavern wallpapers in her apartment. Her space is featured on Apartment Therapy. Vote for her here http://community.apartmenttherapy.com/contests/smallcool/2011/entries/1425
Every once in a while, I get an e-mail from a customer that really stands out. This one comes from Jennifer, who (like many people) was wary of installing wallpaper permanently. She ended up mounting the paper onto foam core to great success:
Dear Cavern,
A bit more than two years ago I bought Blackbird in gold/brown. I gave half to my mother as a gift and kept the other half for myself. Frankly, though I own my own home, I just didn’t want to put it on a wall. It felt like too big of a committment (any wonder why I’m still single?) What if I redecorated? What if I wanted the birds on a different wall? What, heaven forbid, if I moved and had to leave it BEHIND?
Solution: I dry mounted the wallpaper and framed it, so I can now move it around to my heart’s content. And, even more importantly, take it with me wherever I go!
It’s stunning! I currently have my framed wallpaper serving as a room divider. I stare at my wallpaper and am filled with incredible joy by its beauty.
Thank you!
-Jennifer
Thanks for the kind words, Jennifer! And congrats on the project!
Just got this installation shot of Migration in a powder room.
I LOVE wallpaper in bathrooms — for a few reasons:
- You can take more design risks in a bathroom because the stakes are not as high as, say, the living room or the bedroom.
- The small space will enhance the wallpaper effect, allowing the pattern to really pack a punch and define the room.
- It can be a fun surprise when you open a bathroom door and see vibrant color or pattern inside.
- When you have people over, they will end up using the bathroom and complimenting you on your bold, design taste.
- Plus, wallpaper in the bathroom gives everyone something to look at while they’re taking care of business 
Thanks for sending the photo Katherine– it looks great!
I’m a big fan of using wallpaper in ways beyond traditional wall coverings. Kara Dake entered her apartment in the apartment therapy small spaces competition and used some Cavern wallpaper scraps — blackbird on her cabinets and thatch on her closet door. Her space is busy, but the deign elements all go together because she keeps a consistent color pallet. That is the key to combining patterns. Congrats Kara!
I just learned about Houzz.com, which looks like a pretty extensive resource for anyone renovating their space. Cavern seems to be well represented– I have never seen this ‘blackbird’ installation shot but it looks great! Thanks Suzzy for giving me a heads up about Houzz!
Our first installation shot for Miky Fabrega’s ‘Identica’ pattern, part of Cavern’s first artist edition series. Looks great!
Just got this installation shot from Auckland, New Zealand. (Those blackbirds are really quite international.) I really like how wallpaper functions at the top of a staircase, expanding the space and revealing itself as you walk closer to it. Thanks for the photo Natasha!
I just noticed Cavern’s Cavalry pattern was featured on Design*Sponge recently. Thanks Nadia for your pictures and for the nice words you left in the Design Sponge comment feed. The bathroom really looks terrific!
