Looking for creative wallpaper inspiration for a powder room renovation?
More of my designers are breaking the rules and using big, open, drop-matched prints in powder rooms, bars and entryways. How refreshing to see some fresh wallpaper inspiration, and not to have the traditional little powder room VINES!
Today’s install was Farrow and Ball “Helleborus” in a modern total-home renovation in Kensington, MD. Look at the pretty box it comes in.

This is a drop-match paper so the pattern drops down on each sheet. Pay attention to drop match specs when measuring and ordering especially with a big 50” repeat. Layout is critical before ordering.
Expert Installation Technique
This is a real English paper and will expand and contract when pasted.
Velcro method is the best install for this product. Paste the Primed wall with Roman 880 diluted to thin paint consistency and allow to dry:
- Bench Paste paper with Roman 880 diluted to thick glue consistency with water.
- Roll paste on table since pasting machine will stretch the print.
- Book edges perfectly and place into plastic trash bag for 12 minutes.
- Book each piece approximately the same amount of time to keep expansion consistent.
Bring to wall and hang carefully without stretching leaving a visible gap the width of the paper between sheets. Work the paper wet face with a smoothing tool and wet sponge. Quick tip: Any glue tracks under paper WILL NOT dry out.
Smooth down center and then out to sides paying attention not to tear seams. After sheet is worked and smoothed bring seam together with wet sponge and set with smoothing tool. More tips: Do not seam roll this product. Break blades often since wallpaper will be very soft and will pull and tear with a dull blade.
