Elegantly appointed furnishings and décor make this week’s Remarkable Room an entertaining haven. Walls upholstered in accordion striped silk add touches of glamour to the stylish ambience of this unique space – a spectacular entrance to the living room. We love the idea of guests gathering around the baby grand piano during a chic soiree. What about this room inspires you?

With countless new styles and innovations in its design, wallpaper is making a beautiful comeback. According to the Wallcoverings Association, several factors have contributed to its rebirth, including advances in digital technology and the availability of eco-friendly choices.
A movement away from minimalist interiors has allowed homeowners to explore color and texture on their walls for a more decorative, visually interesting look. Wallpaper is one of the best (and easiest!) ways to spruce up a room and give it an entirely different look. Make a design statement with these new cool, fresh patterns that are sure to revitalize your spaces.

Advances in digital imaging and printing have introduced a new perspective into the traditional field of wallcoverings, bringing new life to the designs that are available today. In addition, many new wallpapers are made with 100 percent natural fibers and low- or no-VOC, water-based inks, so they are as earth-friendly as they are lovely. York Wallcoverings’ CLD Pure Collection features breathable, mold-resistant and non-woven varieties and are created with natural fibers that are harvested from managed forests and synthetic fibers used in tea bags and coffee filters.
