Wallpaper, Pattern & Decor

Paint gets you the base; pattern and the pieces you layer on top give a room its personality. This section covers wallpaper and murals, gallery walls and wall art, rugs and flooring, stripes, checks and other bold patterns, painted and thrifted furniture, bedding and textiles, and the lighting and accessories that finish a room. Expect specific advice: which patterns pair, which scale to use in a small room, and where a secondhand find beats a new one.
