Matched dining sets bore her. The table was her parents', purchased in Copenhagen in the 1960s, and the seating is a mix of vintage and new finds. The wallpaper was designed by English artist Deborah Bowness and custom hand-tinted for Borgnes-Giramonti. "All those gray tones in the wallpaper give the room a smoky, louche vibe that makes dinner parties feel very intimate and conspiratorial," she says.

The range of modern wallcovering styles is absolutely inspiring. Open up any wallpaper site, and you could easily spend hours poring over the thousands of photos. Try narrowing down what look you're going for before attempting to choose a paper. It'll save a lot of time staring at your computer screen if you know right away that you're looking for a golden, more traditional style, or a darker, more eclectic look like the photo above.

Again, wallpaper that is not technically scenic but is wonderfully muralistic, by English artist Deborah Bowness. The homeowner had it custom-tinted. You can see this design and other intriguing wallpapers on Bowness' website.

Lisa Borgnes Giramonti divided the walls of this dining room with tongue-and-groove wainscoting on the lower half and a realistic bookshelf wallpaper on the upper half. Coordinating the wainscoting color to the color of the paper's shelves adds to the eye-tricking effect.
