why put wainscotting in a powder room?
This post is a tip for our customers, because we love you so much. If you can’t afford to wallpaper your entire powder room, don’t give up…there is hope.
Installing wainscotting or even a chair rail, means you only need to install paper from half way up the wall to the ceiling.
We love how this wainscotting is built in with the vanity, simple and a continuous elegance.
This is more of a cape cod or cottage style, with diagonal beadboard on the bottom and grasscloth paper installed on the above portion of the wall.
A simple chair rail, painted in a crisp white along with the wall and trim below it.
This idea is fabulous, painting the wainscotting and ceiling the same colour…a great way to tie in the wallpaper pattern and colours.
Balboa Mist OC-27
This colour is part of the Off-White Colour Collection. Inherently sophisticated and endlessly versatile, the Off-White collection offers subtle nuances of whites that suit tranquil, serene environments as well as creates colour-enhancing accents for dynamic spaces.
We love the way bold colours set off against bold and bright hues.
DIY painted stripes
Designer Darlene Paradis of At Home Interior Design wanted to create a series of stripes using 4 paint colours, running across 2 walls in a 4 yr old boys bedroom. With the help of Meg Carr-Braint of Spaces Design, they completed the project in one day.
Darlene’s colour palette ties together so many of the elements in this space, such a great way to layer in pattern. The base coat is painted in a simple neutral, Benjamin Moore’s HC-81 Manchester Tan.

The biggest tip*
Without the use of Frog Tape, this project would have never turned out so perfect. Every line was clean and crisp.
