My article on TheGloss.com:

Did you know that it is possible to have an overwhelming emotional response to wallpaper? It is indeed. I was sixteen years old when wallpaper first hit me hard: I walked through the front door of my family’s apartment, having just been unceremoniously dumped by my gorgeous and much-fawned-over French boyfriend, only to discover that in my four-hour absence my parents had covered the kitchen walls in paper adorned with French love poems. I plunked myself directly down on the kitchen floor and cried.

The next time wallpaper made me tear up was a decidedly better experience: my downstairs neighbor, Stephen Haskell, offered to paper a couple of walls in our living room with leftover rolls produced by the designer wallpaper company he runs, Cavern Home. When I saw the results, my heart went all aflutter: my semi-dilapidated, cream-colored, decidedly run-of-the-mill living room had been transformed into a thing of beauty. I now watch episodes of America’s Next Top Model happily ensconced in a piece of art.

I sat down with Stephen to ask him a few questions about the best ways to use wallpaper in small spaces, and where wallpaper trends are headed.
