The Wonder of Wallpaper




The Wonder of Wallpaper

Kitchens, bathrooms and laundries can be given all kinds of character with the inclusion of a well-designed wallpaper. In this feature, the Kitchen & Bathroom Designers Institute of Australia (KBDi) shares three of its favourite wallpaper applications.

Melbourne’s Jack Avison of Nosiva Custom Cabinetry took this powder room to a whole new level of luxury with a striking floral waterproof wallpaper. The hues in the design inspired the paint colour, cabinetry and floor tile selections and a thoughtful lighting layout allows the central white flower in the mural design to glow.

Brisbane designer Jo Byrom of Jo Byrom Interiors used this fabulous print to great effect in a stunning kitchen project. We love the interest it adds to the space and Jo’s beautiful work in tying together the overall colour scheme.

Who wouldn’t love washing day in this whimsical space? Sydney’s Donna Allen of The Space Within used a delightful design in this light and airy laundry. The client’s brief was for the space to be fun, with playful patterning and a balanced design — and Donna delivered!
