Look! Silver-Leaf Wallpaper at Bloomingdale's Home

When we spotted this wall in the Bloomingdale's Home Store on Ohio Street, we had to take a photo. The silver-leaf wallpaper, combined with gray-and-white trim with just a touch of pink, looked amazing in person. Click below for more photos...

If you have an accent wall in your home that needs something special, this could be one way to go. The wall is layered in squares of silver leaf, and washed in overhead lights that have a pink tone to them.

The contrasting gray and white trim draws attention to the ornate details in the molding, and the bit of light pink underneath the ledge sets off the color scheme.

I had considered this kind of thing for my ceiling, but decided that the surface would have to be completely pristine first. But on fairly new drywalled walls, this could look amazing. I love this.
