As a designer who can’t get enough of using wallpaper in design, I find it exciting to explore the ways in which it can be used to not only beautify but increase the overall enjoyment we feel in our more functional home spaces.

If you can make it a joyful space, you might even enjoy the task of laundry and decrease your stress, as we all feel more calm and happy when we are surrounded by things we love.
