A wall covered in raw wood, which can be recreated with a faux bois wallpaper, works beautifully with a combination of other textures in a room, creating the “soft/hard” juxtaposition. This living room designed by Denise McGaha uses a thick grey wool on the sofa and a cork lampshade. We also love how the designer made art from a trompe l’oeil wallpaper pattern that looks like stacked books near the dining area.

Thanks to great printing technology, we can have our cake and eat it too with wallpapers that look just like the real deal. Go for the eclectic look with distressed leather furniture and a variety of colorful prints.
