Wow-Worthy Wallpaper
The guest bedroom in this English country house received a dramatic transformation from designer Karen Knox of Making Spaces. The designer says the key to the makeover was selecting a bold, floral-motif wallpaper that was certain to make a big impression. “We needed a large-scale wallpaper because there wasn’t going to be a lot of stuff in there,” Knox says.

Before: The previously cream-toned bedroom included red curtains and a small bed stationed in front of the bay window, perpendicular to the fireplace.

After: The bed is now located directly across from the fireplace, allowing for a seating area in front of the window that receives great natural light.
The designer selected a sleek four-poster bed with a thin black frame to pick up the ebony-stained floors and black-painted trim. “We were going to go for an upholstered headboard,” Knox says, “but when we found the wallpaper there was no point in having a big, solid piece of furniture in front of it.”
Until next time….
