Ode to Imperial Trellis


Imperial Trellis is like the song that gets stuck in your head. Something in you wants dislike it—to write it off too trendy—but the problem is, it's just too catchy. The only way to get over it is to listen to it one more time...and then just once more for good measure. Without further ado, here's a roundup of some favorite applications of the versatile (and addictive) pattern...

 
 

Its classic appeal and graphic edge make it equally suited to contemporary and traditional interiors, especially when applied in the generous scale made famous by Kelly Wearstler's design for Schumacher.

Over it, or obsessed? You tell us...

I love it, but smell a whiff of stale. So perhaps using it in flexible, easy to change places such as pillow covers or in a picture frame is a better idea than wall to wall.

I love the use of the wallpaper in Chloe Sevigny's apartment...and I adore how her bike fits right in!

I think it's now entrenched as a classic. It's a timeless pattern like hounds tooth or polka dots. I never tire of seeing it, and I see it often!

Anyone know of a similar fabric/wallcovering that is cheaper than the very expensive Kelly Wearstler-designed version? A trellis is a pretty classic design, so I'd think some would be out there...

I love pictures with the trellis pattern especially fabrics, but in person it is too....I just don't get it.
