Phillip Jefferies

This was one of those pictures that stopped me in my tracks. Designed by Jessica Buckley Interiors, the intensity and depth of the blue grasscloth wallpaper is captivating. It’s called Blueberry by Phillip Jefferies. I’m making note of this for my next house. Next to the couch, that’s the best wow factor of the room. But then, I’m biased because I’m drawn to everything blue. I do have to say though that I love how the soft vintage pinks of the chairs adds a calm elegance to the room and adds a sense of history right next to the fireplace. The rug is another key factor to this room. While it’s still strong in colors, it’s not saturated like the walls and couch yet it still manages to add color and fun to the room and tie it all in. The glass coffee table keeps it light and its gold frame adds glamor (You can never go wrong with glamor. After all, we all want a little bit of it in our life. This is where we can get it.)

Powder rooms are full of surprises these days. They’re the perfect space in your home to put up that daring wallpaper that you couldn’t bring yourself to plaster on in your living room. I think it continues to surprise all of us that these tiny rooms can handle more than a punch of personality. But it really shouldn’t. It’s not like we’re in there all day, so that little punch of boldness is all that we need to remind ourselves that we have our own little punch of boldness. We rarely have just one type of personality or one type of style. The living room and the kitchen is where we display our main personality, and we leave little rooms like the powder room and the laundry room to displaying our spontaneous sides.
