Want to know the secret behind a great design? Well you guessed it...WALLPAPER. High-end wall dressings make all the difference in the world and when it comes to interior design, this element can make or break your space. We're showing some of our well-loved before and after looks from various My Favorite Design projects and we love the impact each one boasts whether it be on a small or grand scale. Take a look at these fun design concepts & take home some inspiration today!

Bathroom Upgrades

MFD

Bathrooms are always a great opportunity to bring textures & colorful elements into the space and what better way of doing this than through wallpaper! Some of our favorite looks over the years include this blue cheetah print wallpaper that ties in the modern yet elegant fixtures and accessories in this primary bathroom remodel. It brought such a WOW factor into this space without us having to gut the entire room. See below for the before!

Another wallpaper look we loved using in one of our Anthem Country Club bathroom remodels was this orange look from Thibaut! We wanted to bring an old Vegas vibe to this space and the orange made the vintage photos as well as the Spanish tile POP with ease. Plus how great is this contemporary light fixture from Uttermost?! Take a look down below for the before photo, too.

Our last bathroom remodel features this gorgeous silver wallpaper from Vahallan that shows just how impactful a great wall dressing can truly make! We didn't renovate the vanity or the mirror or even the tiled backsplash. This kept costs down for our client while still receiving that beautiful makeover. Through a touch of paint and wallpaper, this bathroom in one of our Summerlin remodels is now a full-on Vegas-inspired en suite. See below for the before photo!

Living Areas Need Wallpaper, Too

MFD

Don't forget about those larger rooms when it comes to wallpaper! Even the most spaciest areas need that special touch of detail and care, which is why we love this living room transformation thanks to Rivets by Phillip Jeffries. We kept the original fireplace in place and even the crown molding, but changed out the floors throughout this home and added this spectacular and elegant wallpaper. Having the room wrapped in this one cohesive color tied in the entire color palette and truly elevated this space. Take a look below for the before photo!

Another room that we love utilizing wallpaper looks in are dens and home theaters to bring in that cozy vibe and feel. This Red Rock remodel had a great den space and it needed to feel warmer and moodier. We opted for this wave-like wallpaper that looks amazing in this smaller room. We didn't need to add artwork or accessories because when you find the right wallpaper, it can be the focal point for any space! Take a look below for the before.

Another living space we love giving a quick facelift to is the primary bedroom. This space should feel tranquil and luxurious so what better way of bringing this look and feel into a space than by hand-painted wallpaper lining the walls?! This Vahallan look in our Red Rock remodel in Summerlin accomplishes just that. We love how subtle yet impactful this look is and the way the eye is drawn to this accent wall. This wallpaper look is neutral enough that the bed spread as well as accessories could be changed out in the future or even for seasonal occasions. Take a look below for the before photo!

Don't Overlook Miscellaneous Areas

MFD

Never overlook your miscellaneous areas such as hallways, laundry rooms, and even home bars. These areas sometimes go unattended and thus leaving your home less cohesive and less "done." You always want that finished feeling and to sit back and see all the beautiful elements in your home. We love this look in our Nashville project featuring textured Thibaut wallpaper for the upstairs hallway. This area could have been left blank and bare but we chose to give this foyer an upgrade and it couldn't have turned out better! It really brings an inviting feel to this area of the home without overpowering the space. Take a look below for the before photo!

Laundry rooms shouldn't feel dark and boring. Make your laundry room SHINE with wallpaper and updated cabinetry. This space in our latest Summerlin remodel got a complete makeover and now this room is not a "chore" room. Instead, it's an inviting and bright space for storage, food & snacks, etc. Take a look below for the before!

Home bars are always a great way to entertain friends & family when they're over but you want this space to feel sleek and welcoming for them to look at as well. This home bar in our Nashville project was small but the wallpaper from counter to ceiling makes it feel elongated and grander than it looked before. Now, our clients entertain their guests here with ease and the wallpaper makes for a great talking point, too. Take a look below for the before photo!

Wallpaper is one of our favorite ways of bringing that WOW factor to our projects. No room is unable to be wrapped in some of the most beautiful designs out there and we love a good challenge when it comes to working with small bathrooms or even the largest of living spaces.
