apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Inspiration: Metallics from Harlequin

Browsing through British wallpaper manufacturer Harlequin's collection, we saw a lot of metallic prints paired with both modern and vintage furniture in simple, spare roomsets. Balance is the key to using metallics without making a room seem like Donald Trump decorated it...

In these photos, intricate wallpaper patterns are balanced by just a few furnishings, shiny finishes are balanced by natural textures, and busy prints are balanced by solid upholstery fabrics. For more from Harlequin, click here.

It's not US but I've ordered from this UK company and they do a good job of making ordering convenient and ship quickly: http://www.sandersonfabrics.co.uk/acatalog/Harlequin_-_Decadence.html
