Once I final wrote about our basement design challenge, we had simply completed portray the basement stairs! This modification made such a giant distinction, and it was the primary of some updates I knew I wished to make within the basement stairwell.
Right now I’m writing concerning the newest replace in our basement design challenge: the wallpaper I chosen for the basement stairwell.
Learn on for all the small print on why I selected the wallpaper sample I did.
The Ottoline Wallpaper I Chosen for the Basement Stairwell
I selected a daring, distinctive wallpaper sample from Ottoline known as Bloomsbury Stripes. I really like the colours, the size, and that it reads like a stripe—however with a giant twist. This wallpaper will likely be put in on the partitions on the prime of the basement stairwell, extending from the ceiling to the painted wooden paneling. I feel this wallpaper would make a huge impact in any smaller area like a powder room or hallway.
Right here’s Why I Selected This Ottoline Wallpaper
This was a extremely exhausting wallpaper to pick out as a result of there are such a lot of design components surrounding the spot the place it is going to be put in! The steps open up proper into the kitchen eating space, entrance hallway from the storage, visitor toilet, and Birdie’s room (previously the visitor room). I had to consider how the wallpaper would tie in with the design of every of those rooms. I additionally needed to contemplate how the wallpaper would play with the adjoining supplies—primarily the feel of the marble flooring and the wooden paneling on the partitions. Any wallpaper sample that was the identical scale because the paneling felt flawed, as did any sample that regarded too natural just like the veining on the marble.
Initially, I used to be contemplating wallpaper with a small dot sample, however I saved coming again to this zigzag striped Ottoline sample. There’s one thing concerning the scale of the sample and the colours on this wallpaper that tie in rather well with the adjoining wooden and marble supplies. It acts as a pleasant bridge between the entire various design components. It additionally works as a beautiful backdrop to the colours of the kitchen cupboards!

- Set up the Ottoline wallpaper on the prime of the basement stairwell.
