4. Hang some artworks (or create a gallery wall) that talk to you and coordinate or uniform your current interiors. The frame, the theme, color palettes, the arrangement and how high you should hang them onto the walls all play important roles to create that pleasant artsy decor.

I really love how they hang this artwork on the blush wall of this pastry’s outdoor space. It is a very chic outdoor space like indoor. The pastel color palette of the artwork is similar to the blush wall background. Yet pop of the color on the artwork really make the whole space alive.Again, the artwork on the wall with pop of violet color adds a freshness to this monogram-themed space—chic and fashionableOne of the traditional projects we did—the liliac elegant drapes pull out the lilac and lavender colors on the artworks on the wall to create cohesive and harmonious vibe.another project we did—the pink paint on the background wall pairing red color on lady’s dress creates very romantic, feminine feeling for the space.One of our project–the black and white print on the wall is calming this home office with saturated colors and bold patterns.one of our projects—the same creams color palette on the wall and in the artwork creates this dreamy lounge area.a pink vintage print pairing 2 modern Emerald Green curved chairs—-fresh and elegant
5. Stencil them up. You may not a big fan of wallpaper, although they are not your grandmother’s wallpaper and there are tones of cool designs out there and they are also much easier to get rid of in case you change your mind. You can stencil you walls instead. The key thing here is you’d got some patterns that work in your space and you have a good painter who know how to do a good job.
One of our projects—instead using stripe wallpaper, we stenciled the vanity wall with stripe pattern.one of our projects—the vanity wall in this powder room is tiled with large-format tiles and mother-pearl mosaic inserts from Italy. To save the cost, we stenciled the wall on the both sides of vanity walls in light gloss gray and matte gray— subtle yet still make a statement We totally custom-made this rose stencil walls in my client’s dining room.

A powder room is where you wow your guests. This powder room features pink designer wallpaper, pale blue wainscot panelings, crown moldings, a Waterworks washstand, gilded Louis XVI gilded gold leaf mirror, a custom upholstered floral petite chair, modern marble floor and framed artworks. The mix-and-match approach of layers, patterns and objects make the space intrigue, elegant and sophisticated. The transformation from minimalism to maximalism truly deliver a big wow!
This Friday’s throwback is the powder room we did several years ago. We did the client’s kitchen and came back to renovate their powder room the very next year. The client loves mid-century minimalism style with a soft feminine touch. Here is what we did for the client:
Use large-format tile on the floor and central wall to make the small space look bigger.
Paint the side walls in a light-gray stripe pattern to make the space feel classic yet playful.
The black lacquered vanity floating on the floor is the truly focal point of this powder room.
The beautiful streamline modern European style faucet is a good match to the straight-line pulls on the vanity.
The classic painting with a gilded frame adds a magical soft feminine feeling to the space.
