Designer: Katie Kath of J Kath Design, Build + Reinvent
Why did you choose Be Good? "This E.T. themed wallpaper is a playful decision for the entire family, all ages - a nod to the past while inspiring a fun movie night in. The pattern is subtle yet very on point with neutral tones and seamlessly blends with a well balanced, custom bathroom."
What does it add to the space? "An incredible talking point, for guests of all ages. Textured walls and a high contrast decorative moment to complete this look in this sizable bathroom. Paired with a custom stained vanity from our signature collection, it almost feels like this paper was designed for this space."
Designer: Cathie Hong of Cathie Hong Designs
Why did you choose Underwater World? "This bathroom served as both the kids' main bathroom and the primary bathroom used by guests, so we wanted something playful but elegant. The subtle underwater pattern was discreetly whimsical, while the gold color elevated the style."

What does it add to the space? "The bathroom had simple finishes of white oak, white cement tile, matte black fixtures, and navy blue accents. The wallpaper added visual interest to the bare walls and brought in an organic movement to the otherwise linear space."

Why did you choose Amity Sunset? "This was for a quirky 3rd floor bathroom in a beautiful historic home in Portland. The clients are fun and playful so this hit the mark. We first take into account the client's style and make the space "live easy," while bringing the outdoors in. We like to keep our design simple, classic, and easy to clean."
What does it add to the space? "It really ties it all together and gives it a polished, finished look."
Designer: Christine Vroom of Christine Vroom Interiors
Why did you choose Secret Garden? "We selected this wallpaper because it had the perfect blend of traditional floral and a little modern funk. The colorway is rich and luxurious and has a lot of depth. We also loved all the tones we could pick up on like browns, creams, and greens, and we could really play up those more unique colors with our paint."

What does it add to the space? "It brings a sense of whimsy and an elevated traditional flair that this bathroom called for. The client knew she wanted some green with the paint and because we wanted to keep it moody we were looking for that perfect wallcovering that could really uphold the space and keep it fun and interesting."
Designer: Sara Malek Barney of BANDD/DESIGN
Why did you choose Conservatory? "I loved the playfulness the pattern brings to the space. I definitely felt this wallpaper was both youthful and classic at the same time, which is exactly what the entire home portrayed."
