apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

The room above, designed by Cynthia Rowley, was featured in Elle Décor in October 2008. Rowley really turns up the volume with a vinyl wall treatment and fuchsia accents throughout.

Too commitment-phobic to paint, wallpaper or tile? This room in Livingetc shows the impact of a bold, colorful piece of furniture coupled with a large piece of bright artwork. When you change your mind about the décor, simply move them and you’re back to a blank canvas.

Livingetc also features this room that is punctuated by a bold, colorful wallpaper. By using a simple white basin, small white dresser and a simple mirror, the wallpaper adds just enough drama.

This stunning tile work shown in Livingetc shows what a little ingenuity with ceramic, glass or other types of tile can do on the bathroom walls.

ReadyMade has a great instructable on creating a faux-bois painted finish to a bathroom wall. We love the idea of combining this organic texture with a rich color.
