Fantasy Bathroom Series: Luxe Wallpaper
by Sarah Lu
February 27, 2013
Remember the lickable wallpaper in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory? While that would be awesome, wallpaper doesn?t have to be edible to make me drool. All that used to come to my mind when someone mentioned wallpaper was cheap, drab mauve rolls and hours of sticky, messy installation. It wasn?t until recently that I stumbled upon some designer collections of wallpaper and realized how chic today?s patterns are. As one of the hottest trends in interior design now, wallpaper offerings are luxe, with often luxe prices to match. Don?t want to commit to a whole room yet, or can?t afford to cover your entire home? Just start with the bathroom.
Whether you?re looking to re-do your powder room or main bathroom, I?ve compiled a few of my favorite wallpaper picks to complement our most popular Kitchen Cabinet Kings bathroom cabinets. Enjoy, and I?d love to hear which set you?d choose for your home!

Sarah Lu
Six years of residing in cramped Manhattan apartments compelled Sarah Lu to constantly seek inspiration from the creative living spaces of her friends to design bloggers. As a student, she had to be resourceful, while striving to convey her unique aesthetic. Some of her proudest decor moments include repurposing a nightstand rescued from the sidewalk, leading an office revamping project, and displaying avant-garde sculptures from a local street artist and friend.
Today Sarah lives and works in Washington, D.C. as Director of Development at a girls empowerment non-profit. In her role, she works on issues affecting young women and girls and creatively and effectively increasing awareness of human trafficking in the United States. She reads popular fashion and design blogs, is an Instagram addict, and practices Krav Maga in her spare time. Sarah is also an avid traveler and loves to try new cuisines. Her parents' kitchen, where handmade Chinese dumplings and savory noodle soups are always on the stove, is her favorite room in the world. Naturally, Sarah is thrilled to have a forum to share her passion for design and a purposeful lifestyle and connect to others. Sarah earned her Master's of Social Work from Columbia University and a Bachelor's of Social Work from New York University.
