This elegant writing area, reminiscent of Jane Austen herself, is surrounded by beautiful wallpaper, the modern lamp, and the perfect balance of details in the books and flowers.
Floral wallpaper is an area where you can really go wrong if you choose poorly but you can definitely use it to brighten up a room if you are smart about your choice. Use wallpaper on single walls in small rooms and make sure that the rest of the decor around it is minimal so that you don't shock the senses. Modern floral patterns are usually a better choice than stuffy old floral patterns although a good vintage design may work in some homes.
Jean-Honore Fragonard. A champion of the Rococo style, Fragonard's paintings are full of pastels and fussy detail. Honestly, they're usually too much for me - too girly and too prissy. This room, though, captures the best of Fragonard's intentions - it's full of small details and feminine touches, but it stops short of the frippery that drives me crazy.
"This wallpaper is another way to go bold in a subtle way it blends nicely with the space creating a cohesive idea..." (timothydecluedesign)
"Awesome wallpaper" (soulflower80)
The Geisha is also associated with gorgeous flowers. This pretty cherry blossom wallpaper is just one example of how to incorporate Japanese flowers into your home design.
THE DRESK: A bold botanical wallpaper and a "dresk" (dressing table/desk) - I think Dorothy invented the dresk when she designed the furniture for The Greenbrier.
