Custom Painted Wallpapers

Custom hand painted wallpapers have always been a staple of elegant, traditional design.  

There is no better way to achieve the old Palm Beach or Manhattan 5th Ave. feel than by custom coloring a painted scenic mural on wall paper. It is both beautiful and sophisticated. Florals, birds, palm trees, Asian temples, Chinoiserie and beach scenes are all traditional themes used in the intricate traditional wall papers that create the exotic backdrop to fabulous dining rooms, master bedrooms and powder baths.

But creating these beautiful, bespoke works of art requires time and money. You can choose from a paper, silk or other fabric background. Metallic finishes  or lacquered finishes and antique techniques are all options to enhance your design.  Either way, you'll end up with an elegant, polished product.

As an artist I absolutely love custom designing murals for clients based on their ideas an personalities. Some like to have them on canvas others prefer painting them directly on the wall either way it adds that individual touch to a room, which I think everyone should have for that special space in the home. Sandra this is exceptional work and love your blog.
