After I shared my points with the present studio wallpaper with y’all a few days in the past, my mother (a Photoshop genius) volunteered to assist me get the wallpaper excellent. After reminding her that the wallpaper was going to go in my home (the home of somebody who loves plenty of colour and sample) and never in her home (the home of somebody who’s not so loopy about plenty of shiny colours and sample), I handed the unique wallpaper picture over to her to see what she may do with it. Right here’s the unique wallpaper picture.
If you happen to learn my last post a couple of days ago, you’ll do not forget that it was primarily the darkish purple flower that I had issues with, however that pink flower was additionally a bit an excessive amount of for me.
I actually love the adjustments she made. She didn’t change it a lot as to empty the entire life out of the wallpaper, however she did tone it down sufficient in order that not one of the flowers appear like they’re glowing. And she or he did a tremendous job at taking that one darkish purple flower (the one which turns right into a darkish purple splotch when standing on the opposite aspect of the room) and including some lightness and definition to it in order that it gained’t flip right into a darkish purple splotch.
Right here’s the brand new and improved wallpaper:
So right here’s a have a look at the 2 side-by-side, with the unique wallpaper on the left, and the brand new and improved wallpaper on the precise.
It’s nonetheless colourful and enjoyable and vibrant, however I feel the brand new one will play a lot nicer within the room.
So that you could see the distinction, right here’s the unique wallpaper in its present measurement on the precise wall…
Right here’s what it seemed like on the mock up I did again once I was contemplating IKEA Pax cupboards, however the wallpaper is an precise picture of that wall…
And this gives you a reasonably good concept of what the brand new and improved wallpaper would appear like on that wall in that very same scale.
It’s such an enchancment, however as I used to be doing that mock up above, I stored considering that it might be so a lot better if the flowers had been greater. That means (1) the flowers could be plainly seen from throughout the room, and none of them would flip into blotches of colour when considered from a distance, and (2) fewer repeats of the design could be seen, so the design wouldn’t look as busy.
I did a mock up utilizing bigger flowers, and….I LOVE IT!
I had really needed a design with the bigger flowers from the very starting, however I didn’t know of a spot that may print such a design because it’s extra of a mural and never your commonplace repeatable wallpaper. The one place I knew about the place I may add my very own picture is Spoonflower, and so they solely supply repeatable wallpaper printed on 24-inch-wide wallpaper. That implies that the picture you add to Spoonflower can be repeated each 24 inches. That makes it unimaginable to add and print giant scale designs that don’t match neatly right into a 24-inch-wide repeat.
However within the time since I designed that authentic wallpaper and now, I’ve found my favourite wallpaper mural retailer — Photowall. That’s the place I received the mural that I utilized in our latest rest room rework…
And they allow you to upload your own image, and so they’ll print a mural from it. Meaning I gained’t be certain by the 24-inch repeatable width of ordinary wallpaper, and I could make the design as giant as I would like it to be.
In order that’s the plan. I’ve my picture with the brand new and improved colours, and now I simply want it printed a lot bigger than the unique wallpaper.
I additionally have to resolve if I need to put the brand new design within the again entry. No matter what I resolve, the inexperienced goes, as is the black and white design on the ground (that’s a agency choice, however extra on that later).
However I simply can’t resolve if I need to carry the floral mural into the again entry, or go away these partitions a stable colour.
If I don’t do the mural on the partitions of the again entry, I may need the design printed on material, and get better my desk chair with that floral material to deliver the floral design into the “workplace” space of the studio. I got here throughout this image yesterday from Rifle Paper Co.’s Instagram account, and completely love this floral chair. I can picture a desk chair coated in my shiny floral sample.
So I’ll most likely mess around with the scale of the flowers on that wall only a bit extra to make sure I’ve it precisely like I would like it, after which I’m going to order the mural for that wall. I don’t have to decide on the entryway proper now. I can at all times order that later.
I nonetheless haven’t nailed down your complete design for the studio and half rest room, however issues are slowly beginning to come collectively in my head. I hope to have an total plan to share with you very quickly.
