This spring, DecoratorsBest was thrilled to sponsor the biannual #OneRoomChallenge, hosted by Linda at Calling It Home. Eight talented bloggers used fabric, wallpaper and pillows from our site to add color, depth and texture to their spaces. To us, it’s fascinating to see the way even small doses of designer products can lend sophistication and elegance to any room, no matter the size or setting.
Yesterday was the final reveal, and we couldn’t wait to see how each blogger put our products to use!
In this updated bathroom by Vanessa Francis, Schumacher’s Agadir Screen Noir wallpaper was the starting point for a bold black and white color scheme. The round mirror and sconce plates mimic the subtle floral shape found within the pattern.

Jana Bek of Bek Design didn’t want to reupholster the sofa in her great room, so she punched it up with a mix of floral and geometric patterns by Schumacher. She slipcovered dated leather armchairs in white linen and tied them into the color scheme with another geometric pillow, also made with Schumacher fabric.

Autumn Clemons of Design Dump created a soothing atmosphere in her teenage daughter’s bedroom with shades of blue and green, carrying the color scheme over to a sitting area with our Parisian Lights Kelly pillows by Peking Handicraft.

Hemp adds texture and dimension to any space – don’t limit yourself to walls! Lindsay Souza used Manila Hemp Peacock Blue wallpaper by Phillip Jeffries to wrap custom nightstands in her clients’ bedroom, sealing it to protect against spills. Grasscloth and other natural materials can be coated with lacquer, but we’d recommend testing with a small piece first.

For her daughter’s colorful bedroom, Kirsten Krason of 6th Street Design School added tropical flair with a roman shade made with Schumacher’s Ode to Matisse Punch.

When Kimberly Schlegel Whitman planned her design for this formerly-dreary dining room, her goal was to brighten the space and encourage guests to stay past dessert. She used Fabricut Lavazzo Charcoal trim to add polish and interest to neutral drapery, with the gold accents uniting the fabrics and antler chandelier.

For a sophisticated floral element in her assistant’s laidback bedroom, Kirsten Grove of Simply Grove mounted a piece of Cole & Son’s Peonie Beige wallpaper. We love this project as a creative way to use extra wallpaper remnants! Try using leftover trim or a large picture frame to create your own custom piece of art.

Instead of using multiple throw pillows in her serene master bedroom, Julia Ryan embraced simplicity and a more clean look, using a single oversized pillow in Schumacher’s Garden of Persia Dove fabric as a focal point.
