ad🪻Bringing the history of our home back into our hallway
When we started renovating our 1930s hallway I made a huge discovery. Hidden underneath hardboard, I found the original panelling and spindles on our staircase
It instantly brought so much character back into the house, so I painted it in the same soft butter yellow and restored the original details.
But I felt like the hallway needed something more.
While renovating, I’d also discovered little pieces of the wallpaper that had once been in our home and I knew I wanted to bring wallpaper back into the space. Something that nodded to its heritage but still felt fresh.
This is Flower Buds in Blue by 🌿
I loved the classic charm with its modern twist and the wavy design was the perfect way to link the floor tiles and original panelling together while adding the detail the hallway was missing
And if you didn’t know already Boråstapeter’s designs are inspired by archived wallpapers found in old buildings around Sweden, which made this feel like such a fitting choice for our old home.
A little bit of its history, brought back to life but in a new way 💛
It makes me smile everytime I come home!
