"As much as I loved the new white-on-white aesthetic of our kitchen, I admit that it felt a little plain. That curvy linear mid-century pattern really drives the point home that we love retro design."
"The repetition and horizontal orientation of the linear pattern makes it really look like tile. She actually prefers adding wallpaper to a room over paint because of the instant pattern it adds, and this particular pattern acts and functions like a striking tile backsplash."
"She didn't want to wallpaper all the way into the seating area, and this gave me an intentional place to stop the wallpaper. The curtain panel creates a natural stopping point."
A homeowner removed dated ivy-patterned wallpaper from her kitchen, creating a white-on-white aesthetic that felt too plain. She selected a contemporary 'Candice' patterned wallpaper featuring curvy linear mid-century design in gray-green tones custom-matched to Sherwin-Williams Sea Salt paint. The horizontal linear pattern mimics tile appearance and complements existing white square tiles. Rather than painting, wallpaper provided instant pattern and visual depth. The homeowner strategically used new curtain panels as a natural stopping point, preventing wallpaper from extending into the seating area. This approach demonstrates how wallpaper functions as both decorative and practical design element, creating intentional visual boundaries while enhancing overall kitchen design.
