Hi there! I’m Christiana Coop from Ferm Living and Hygge & West, and I’m so excited to be a guest blogger today as I simply adore From the Right Bank. Ally’s posts are the source of so much inspiration, and I really appreciate how the community she’s created here is so warm, open and insightful. Not surprisingly, I’m going to talk about a design trend that is close to my heart – wallpaper. I love interior design that incorporates a mix of old and new to create a unique, personality driven, space. In my opinion, nothing can help create the right balance between traditional and contemporary quite like wallpaper. Here are some of my favorite examples:

Let’s start things off with a bang. This room boldly shows how a graphic, modern wallpaper can mix in with vintage acrylic pieces, a classically shaped day bed and rustic secretary to create an eclectic room that is certainly not lacking in personality. [Image via Decorno.]

Here’s another more subdued example of combining a modern wallpaper with mid-century furniture and a traditional chandelier to create an original (and gorgeous) space. [Image via NYT.]

The more ornate pieces in this lovely dining room are made fresh and fun by adding in a modern wallpaper backdrop. [Image via Apartment Therapy.]

On the other hand, traditional wallpaper designs, like the retro flowers and damask above, add whimsy to, and help soften the harder edges of, modern furniture. [Images via Emmas Designblog.]

Here, a more classic floral backdrop of wallpaper mixed with an ultra modern coat tree and simple floor lamp make this room one of a kind. And, just so pretty! [Image via Purple Area.]

This hallway is a divine balance of old and new – classic wainscoting juxtaposed with a modern, metallic wallpaper. [Image via Envelope A+D.]

Like the hallway, here’s another lovely example of accentuating the traditional architectural details of a space with wallpaper. The vintage inspired linear and damask wallpaper patterns in bright modern colors, mixed with clean-lined furniture and unexpected lighting create a balanced (and amazing!) space.

I’ll end with this picture because, to me, it is the quintessential mixing of eras to reflect a unique personality. The wallpaper is its own mix of modern and retro and really makes the traditional white shelving pop. Neon seating, a rustic table painted in a trendy color, modern lighting, a classic rug and vintage kitchen accessories are a daring mix I would never be able to dream up. But, somehow it all works together beautifully! [Image via Elle Decor.]

Thanks so much for sharing in my wallpaper obsession. If you haven’t had enough wallpaper chat, we talk about it pretty much all the time at Ferm Living’s Clever Spaces and Hygge & West’s Picnics Under the Moon. We’d love to have you visit!

Hello, From the Right Bank fans! I’m Donna from A Perfect Gray. I am beyond thrilled to be filling in for Ally, one of my very favorite bloggers and I’m happy to be sharing one of my favorite design trends with you today…

Antique Mirrors

I am crazy for mirrors and especially for antique mirrors. For me, their time worn beauty brings character to a room in a way that no other piece can. When I see a lovely antique mirror in a room, it always stops me in my tracks.

Antique mirrors go perfectly with the bohemian vibe I love right now:

We are also seeing antique and ‘antiqued’ mirrors in beautiful rooms by top designers:

House Beautiful

Tracery Interiors

For a look of drop-dead beauty, it’s antiqued mirrors for me!

Hi Everyone, I’m Marianne from Haven and Home and I am so happy to be here today! From The Right Bank was one of the first blogs I started reading and I have loved following Ally’s journey to the South! When Ally suggested a “design trend” for a topic today I instantly knew what I want to discuss- wallpaper. I love that is has found a resurgence again on the design scene…

There are so many uses for wallpaper, even in unexpected places like a ceiling…
Light, dark, bold, soft, there is a wallpaper out there for everyone.
When I am looking for wallpaper inspiration there are two companies I always go to, the first is Romo…
I love the funky patterns and vibrant colors.
Designers Guild is another company who continually inspires me with their wallpapers and images on their website..
I appreciate the softer side of their prints, although just as statement making…
Currently I am thinking about wallpapering a small bathroom in my house but I may just have to do something unexpected like a long wall in our living room. What about you? Have you used wallpaper recently or are you planning to soon?

Thank you Ally for having me!

Hi everyone! This is Piper from One Sydney Road and I have to say that I am completely flattered that Ally asked me to do a guest post. I adore her blog and constantly come away inspired! Ally asked me to blog about a recent favorite design trend…oh boy, that’s easier said than done! There are so many great trends and even classic styles that have come back that I hardly know where to start! So I thought Id share what Im loving right nowand thats the color yellow! Whether its a trend or not, I cant stop myself from dog earing magazines or bookmarking websites whenever I come across anything yellow!!
Whether its the front door

Or a piece of furniture

Or several pieces (btw, Im seriously obsessed with the first room love those yellow chairs!)

Or just a pop of color (isnt this wall decal so fun? And the best part is that you can always change your mind!)

Or some beautiful bedding

Or a cool bag (isnt this just perfect for summer!)

Or just an uplifting print

I think I can say that Im officially obsessed with yellow! Thank you so much for letting me share with you. Hope you have a wonderful week! xo Piper
