I love a bold pattern and a bold patterned wallpaper is even better. But then you have to find art that doesn’t distract. Monochromatic is the answer. It lets the wallpaper shine and gives the eye a place to rest.

Perfect example is this amazing, large scale squiggle line wallpaper used by @kiki_designstudio. The art is large (20”x60”!!) but the tonal blues don’t compete with the busyness of the walls.

I call this piece Ascending Blues and it’s available through art consultant Alice Trahant Phillip’s Artist Marketplace. If you’re in the Atlanta area, Alice can bring this piece to your house so you can try before you buy- what an amazing service!
