Pop of Color

white bathroom with floral wallpaper — Jay Wilde

Floral wallpaper adds a splash of color to this otherwise neutral bathroom. Since the space is small, using wallpaper on only the top third of the wall keeps the space bright and draws the eye upward to visually expand the room. The greens and pinks in the wallpaper are muted enough to match any decorating style, but when paired with a vase of fresh pink flowers, it gives a distinctly springy feel to the bathroom.
