Flirty Florals


Paint just can’t equate to the luxury a few rolls of wallpaper can add to a room. Floral inspired walls are back and blooming in beautiful designs. The flourishing patterns instantly create a visual energy in a room, making the space vibrant and enticing. Using flowered wallpaper may be overwhelming if you can’t shake your grandmother’s floral walls from your head. But when used correctly, it brings life into what otherwise might be a drab room. If you’re still concerned that wallpaper will be too overpowering or you can’t fully commit, start small. Restrict your wallpaper use to an accent wall, which will create a focal point without overdoing it. Another option would be to start in a small space. Powder rooms are great for this because big and bold prints in small spaces can create a jeweled space in your home.

Chasing PaperLead by vibrant color, quirky patterns and tactile textures that awaken the senses, wallpaper has made a remarkable comeback. Forget the kitschy flowers, vertical plaids or those hokey nautical patterns your grandparents cherished (unless of course, that’s your thing), this is art torn straight from the canvas and turned into décor.

After its boom in the 1970s, wallpaper developed a stigma that it could not shake despite its versatility to either dress up a room or create a statement-making accent wall. “Back then homeowners were all using the same wallpaper design—some variation of flowers,” said Long Island-based Larry K. Cohen, owner of Van Go, Inc. “Naturally, the next generation of homeowners ran the other way. They did not want the same patterns in their homes as their parents and grandparents did. Wallpaper was also seen as an investment, so prices kept people away as well.” Cohen should know, a professional paperhanger for more than 35 years, installing wallpaper for celebrities like Bette Midler and Gwyneth Paltrow along the way, he’s seen his fair share of trends.

Over the last 10 years manufacturers have started introducing new products such as grasscloth paper made from natural grass fibers, as well as fresh patterns, color combinations and other textures that are more appealing to the eye and wallet.

“Once manufacturers adopted this trend and started making more affordable options with a modern spin, wallpaper took off again,” Cohen said.

CONTEMPORARY TRENDS Grasscloth is as popular as ever but papers with metallic inks and

embroidery—as well as designs infused with glass, mother of pearl and even sand—are hot right now. Such textures not only lend a fresh look and feel, but also a whole new layer to a room’s overall appearance. “Anything with a handmade element is wildly popular right now,” said Cohen, who cites Maya Romanoff and Gracie as a few higher-end manufacturers leading the way. “A lot of clients are opting for papers that incorporate handpainted designs layered over textured papers made from hemp or jute. It’s unlike anything this industry has ever seen.”

Two other manufacturers known for their modern and dramatic offerings are Brooklyn-based Flavor Paper and NYC-based Trove. Flavor Paper gained popularity thanks to its unique roster of handscreened prints by contemporary artists and designers featuring bold colors, tropical prints and quirky names such as Love Monkey. Trove’s newest collection was inspired by the owners’ recent dabbling with photography and light. For art lovers who seek more than just patterns, these sources offer designs closer to murals and large-scale works.

TRADITIONAL WITH A TWIST Although contemporary designs are in the spotlight, LeRue Brown, marketing manager for York Wallcoverings, is seeing a renewed interest in more traditional designs, albeit with a twist. “Damask, a classic pattern, continues to be highly requested, thanks to its availability in bright, vibrant colors,” he said. “Really, any type of graphic pattern that makes a statement is extremely popular, especially when adding a special treatment to it such as Mylar, foil or flocking. These techniques are being used to add




dimension, interest and texture.”

Florals are also enjoying a resurgence but this time there are plenty of new interpretations to choose from. From botanical illustrations to restored archival prints of big, blossoming blooms in modern hues, there is a floral print for everyone. They are especially popular for those using wallpaper to dress up a single accent wall or as an architectural element transitioning one room into another. “A big open floor plan is a larger home trend in general,” said Brown. “Homeowners are turning to wallpaper to help them delineate where one room stops and another begins.”

READY TO INSTALLOnce the endless options have been sorted through and a selection has been made, both Cohen and Brown agree it’s always best to hire a professional to install the wallpaper (budget permitting). For the DIYers, these tips will go a long way.

1. READ UP. Always read the manufac-turer’s instructions and recommen-dations thoroughly. This ensures the best supplies will be on hand before beginning the project. “The manufacturer often recommends a particular wall primer or paper adhesive that works best with its product,” said Cohen. “If you don’t use their recommendations, the manufacturer won’t stand by its guarantee.”

2. A PROPER PREP. “Typically when it comes to wallpaper, a homeowner feels it should last forever yet come down easily, so it’s important that the wall is prepped to achieve both,” said Brown. A wall’s condi-tion is the key to the strength of bond and smoothness of finish. It needs to have a proper combi-nation of sealing and the right surface for wallpaper to adhere to.

“If a wall is too porous, the paste will get sucked right in and once paper is placed over it, that’s when bubbles form,” explained Brown. “If the wall is too slick—think glass—the paper just won’t adhere properly.” Once the wall’s condi-tion has been assessed, remove any electrical plates or rogue nails from wall art, fill in any holes and prime accordingly.

3. CHOOSE YOUR WEAPONS. A work surface such as a table or a piece of plywood laid over two sawhorses comes in handy when it’s time for measuring, cutting, pasting and activating a pre-pasted paper. Aside from the requisite rags, brushes, blades and tools, have a water box handy that’s big enough to dip the paper in to activate the paste.

4. MADE TO MEASURE. Pre-trimmed wallpaper is a help for DIYers, but whether or not the paper is pre-trimmed, it’s always best to start in an inconspicuous place, such as a corner or behind a door. Armed with a level, create a vertical plumb line, which will ensure the paper is hung as straight as possible, then work from there. A ½ inch to 1 inch overlap of the paper is a good safety.

5. APPLY, REPEAT AND CLEAN. If using a pre-pasted paper, activate the paste by applying water to it or by using an activator paste (which according to Cohen will give the paper more of a glide when applied). Starting from the top down, apply and adhere the paper to the wall. A roller and/or clean rag will smooth out any wrinkles or air bubbles. Finally, be sure to wipe away excess paste quickly with a clean sponge and hot water.

TAKING IT DOWNAlthough it’s made to last for years, there are times when we just want that paper to come down. “One of the biggest barriers to people

redecorating with wallpaper is their fear of it—especially when it comes to taking it down,” said Brown. “But there is much better quality today.” Of course, most often we are dealing with paper from an ear-lier time, without the knowledge of how it was mounted or the condi-tion of the wall underneath. These five tips will make removal easier.

1. PROTECT THE ROOM. Before getting started, Cohen suggests emptying the room of furniture and covering floors with a large canvas or plastic drop cloth. Be sure to tape the cov-ering to the corners of floor space to catch any water used in removal. Also, immediately throw removed paper into a bag, he warned. “Otherwise the still-moist paper will stick to the floor, molding or anything else that’s not protected.”

2. TEST THE BOND. It’s important to do a preliminary check before diving into the job. Pick a small spot and gently break through the surface with a scoring or perforation tool that will poke tiny holes in the wallpaper. When moistened, this will allow water to seep through the paper and loosen the bond. If the bond seems stronger than the paper itself, additional tools may be needed (more on that below). But if the paper seems to release easily, remove it by stripping it off dry. Start in a corner and use a putty knife to lift the paper and remove it strip by strip.

3. ASSESS THE PAPER’S FINISH. Just as the adhesive bond can predict how readily paper will come down, so can the finish. For example, if dealing with a heavy coated paper such as vinyl, said Brown, water does not penetrate easily. In this case Cohen suggested using “80 grit sandpaper to sand down the wallpaper, which will allow water to be absorbed.”

4. REMOVAL TOOLS. If the paper still




won’t budge, all is not lost. Here again, a scoring or perforation tool can be used, or a water blanket placed over the paper will further moisten it. A steamer is an old-fashioned yet still effective tool for removing wallpaper—hot water helps loosen the adhesive. Once the paper is down, wipe away any residual adhesive using mild deter-gent, warm water and a terrycloth towel. For tougher jobs, a cleaning agent such as Formula 409 works.

DESIGNS FOR WINDOWSSelf-stick window film and clings add pretty accents to windows, glass cabinet doors, shower doors, mirrors and other similar surfaces. As an added bonus, their opaque finishes and intricate patterns obscure views and offer sun pro-tection. The installation is easy, requiring little more than a spritz of water and a squeegee. While pretty yet functional embossed pat-terns are becoming more popular, colorful stained-glass inspired designs continue to lead the way. Other trendy options include white frosted finishes, intricate mosaics, geometrics, colorful florals, bam-boo and clear etched glass styles.

THE WEIGHT ISSUE Choosing the right wallpaper weight may not be as exciting as say, selecting a bold new pattern or quirky color combination, however, this is central to choosing a paper that lasts. Some papers are heavier simply because the press being used to create the designs requires it; a heavier paper ensures the ink is properly absorbed. More often however, a heavier weight paper means a more durable product. The heaviest ones (a 54-ounce vinyl being the most durable), are often reserved for commercial-grade proj-ects such as hospital corridors that need to withstand high volumes of traffic. Cohen estimates that heavy vinyl wallpaper installed in a commercial space should last ap-

proximately 10 years, while a paint job may last only three.

This durability, while a pricier option, is attractive to homeown-ers as well. It’s often the choice for high-traffic areas such as a hallway or a bathroom where steam would affect a lighter, more-porous paper. On the average, a 15- or 20-ounce paper will hold up well in a residen-tial home. However, the heavier more durable paper can be more difficult to remove.

Today's wallpaper ranges from high tech to vintage looks

Oh, how wallpaper has changed…and how it hasn’t. Consider, for example, the wallpaper that blocks mobile phone and WiFi signals. That ability could help with security and privacy issues in your apartment building. Emergency, FM radio and television signals are not stopped, however. The innovation, the brainchild of the Grenoble Institute and La Centre Technique du Papier, is distributed by Ahlstrom, a Finnish company.Another wallpaper, developed by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, has created wallpaper

that helps prevent a masonry wall from failing in an earthquake. 3-D wallpaper is also available.

Ok, that’s the new stuff. Other wallpaper collections that most people will actually choose now and in 2014 are interestingly rather retro and nostalgic.

Wallpaper designers have created collage layouts of old sepia photographs from the early 1900s as well as the ideas of vintage French theater posters. The nifty 50s are also represented with

patterns and colors of the decade showing up on walls.

Botanicals and floral theme never go out of style, but the latest look is not for the timid.

“At York Wallcoverings, flower wallpapers have become more powerful than prim, rendered in dark hues that lend a typically demure design a potent playfulness,” said Anne Martin, a company spokesman. “There’s not a shrinking violet in the bunch.”

Close your eyes and you may remember your aunt’s living room wallpaper with massive pink roses on a dark background. Victorian Garden, for the Blooms collection by Ashford House for York

Wallcoverings, has channeled that paper. Only this time around the flowers are more sophisticated and charming. The pattern is available in a black background with pink flowers, Silver with Lilac, Pewter Blush with Pink and Pearl with Pink.

Another choice is Orchid Sidewall, from the Casabella collection by York Wallcoverings. The florals are available in orange or yellow and are equally intriguing.

The “feature wall” idea of just covering one wall in a room with wallpaper is in favor again with designers. The idea works to the advantage of renters who may not want to overwhelm a smaller room with powerful wallpaper. It also

means less work when a tenant moves and wants to restore a wall to its original white or beige paint.

When selecting any wallpaper, decide what you need before you think pattern, color or texture. The checklist should answer these concerns: washable or not; moisture resistant; repositional vinyl, peelable paper or vinyl; strippable non-woven fabric or paper.

Always check with property management or your lease to determine if wallpaper is permissible.

Pastels and florals move right into fall fashion

ON THE LIGHT SIDE

“The fall 2013 runway shows were awash in Easter egg shades of daffodil yellow, powder blue, cotton-candy pinks and mints,” reports McClatchy Newspapers.

This included blush-colored coats at the Céline presentation, which were paired with sleek wool shifts and light-gray, chunky-heeled ankle boots. And at Proenza Schouler, “leather coats in rounded silhouettes were shown in a candy-colored lavender, and modern

drop-waist dresses featured barely-there hints of mint,” the reports said.

These candy colors work particularly well with gray and other darker-colored fall and winter favorites.

You’ll see pastels off the runways as well. They can be found in the LC Lauren Conrad collection and Princess Vera Wang collections scheduled to arrive in November at Kohl’s. And “pretty pastels” are listed as one of the favorite trends

Clear domes and other upside-down glass containers have many possibilities for decorating. Here’s a harvest-themed idea from Better Homes and Gardens: Use one to display miniature pumpkins. You can go with orange, but mini white pumpkins look particularly elegant.

Bold, dark florals have been spotted on runways for fall and next spring. Similarly, as a recent trend release for York points out, “flower wallpapers have become more powerful than prim, rendered in dark hues that lend a typically demure design a potent playfulness.”

Blue Flower Wallpaper

Wallpaper is a controversial subject. In certain parts of our nation, it is and always has been, wildly popular. Not coincidentally, along the East coast — where initial colonization took place and where paper on walls is an old tradition — it enjoys greater acceptance. Out West, where Spanish influence is powerful, adobe walls and primitive decorative painting were more common. In general, less wallpaper is used. We still are influenced by these divergent histories.

Some clients say upfront and quite powerfully: No wallpaper! It seems that this is one of those issues that you either love or despise. Many people have memories of grandma's house that held old wallpaper that may have been pealing or faded. While it is true that wall paper is thought of in the main as a traditional treatment there are many super cool papers out there. Textures, bold geometric patterns and whimsical themes are available.

It isn't just a floral that you must install, yet very often that is exactly what people select.

Nowadays, papers such as this one are made from harvested renewable resources, are low-VOC and do not contain ozone depleting chemicals, cadmium or mercury. This particular paper is made with smokeless non-polluting inks and the substrate is sourced from managed forests. Made by York, this detailed art is from an exotic collection called "Passage East" and introduces an instant ambiance.

Wallpaper can instantly create a mood. Not only does the material introduce a dominant color to a space, it also produces complexity and detail. Often, in a tiny room the installation of a handsome wallpaper can be very appealing. It seems counterintuitive, but the addition of detail in a powder bath or small bedroom can deliver a unique kind of coziness.

Just don't use too much wallpaper! This explains why we often see it installed in only the powder bathroom in homes.On the other hand, in the East, South and Midwest, it is just as possible that a homeowner will use companion-like papers in several rooms. Many times we will see this done in a bedroom with adjacent bathroom. And to top it off, those who love the look will add in a companion fabric for bedding or window treatment.

Know that you can pick and choose. It is fine to have just a room or two in your home adorned with paper. In a small room, take time in the selection process. Get samples and tack them up so that you might study the paper in various light conditions. What does it look like at 10 o'clock at night with dim light? Don't rule out larger patterns, but do study the pattern to make sure that in your particular room the pattern

repeat will work. You do not have to restrict yourself to tiny, Laura Ashley-like floral patterns in restricted space. Just as larger floor tiles work surprisingly well in small rooms, so might a bolder wallpaper pattern.

Realize that if color is critical to you, check the current dye lots. That mean you can ask for a cutting of current stock or that you may have to order a single roll to verify the colors are just like the sample.

Know also that dry wall or wallboard needs to be prepped for wallpapers. It should be sealed or primed before applying paper. If not, and you someday go to remove it, the top layer of the dry wall will come away when you strip down the paper. That causes extra labor in terms of preparing that wall for either paint or new papering.

YorkArts teaches kids about creativity in work

Maggie Moran asked a group of third-graders visiting YorkArts what they want to be when they grow up. Along with a future doctor and farmer, there were a few budding artists.

Moran, gallery coordinator, asked them if they liked to be creative.

"Guess what. A lot of other jobs get to do that, not just artists," she said. People get to be creative in all kinds of careers, she said, and the Creativity Unleashed exhibit shows the creative side of two local businesses: York Wallcoverings and Graham Packaging.

Students from Ferguson Elementary School in York visited the gallery Tuesday to see the exhibit, which opened in September. Moran said that the tours are a free program open to schools throughout the year.

Students get to tour and do some art activities, too.

Moran said the gallery really wanted to get schools in to see the Creativity Unleashed exhibit, because it has a large educational aspect to it rather than being a purely aesthetic exhibit. The idea, which came from the local county-wide branding effort, was to focus on creativity in the business world.

The gallery wanted to shine some light on the creative process involved in other jobs, like making wallpaper, for example.

Tuesday's visitors learned about the color-mixing process at York Wallcoverings and tested their color knowledge, trying to identify the shades used in a particular piece of wallpaper. Then they heard about the design process Graham Packaging uses to make

Mindy Christian, program director at YorkArts, said the gallery has had everyone from 3-year-olds to nursing home residents and karate classes participate in gallery tours. In addition to touring the exhibit, Ferguson students made collages out of donated wallpaper and did a drawing activity.

Najah Johnson, 8, was one of the students who said she had an interest in the art profession. But actually, she said later, making bottles and wallpaper kind of seemed fun.

"I think it was kind of cool," she said.
