With wonderful views across New York Harbor, this Brooklyn Heights home was ready for a little pop of interior excitement. We cleaned, prepped and then covered the once plain ol’ boring white walls with a bold, colorful geometric pattern wallpaper in the entry to a magnificent high-rise residence.
ne of the best ways to add some spark and enthusiasm to your interior, especially when you plan to paint your trim almost everywhere, is an accent wall with a lively wallpaper pattern. One Manhattan condo owner called us in to paint all the trim, including crown molding, window trim and baseboards in a very dark green like rainforest foliage.
Vintage anything lends a warm-n-fuzzy feeling. Whether it’s an old style coat, a red barn in the countryside or a wallpaper pattern in the Big Apple, nostalgia delivers a smile to the heart. It’s timeless and classic and just fun to wear or see or live with.
Historic architectural styles like Italianate, Greek Revival and Gothic Revival made an impact on Brooklyn’s 19th century home construction. Three to four-story style townhomes, often with a front stoop, bay windows and exterior ornamentation, exuded wealth and luxury of the time.
