Let’s talk about their project and the Grey & Gold Jungle Fans Wallpaper R7127 

This room was installed by this stunning wallpaper and we all can notice that this wallpaper added a dynamic, nature-inspired element to this space. This is simply proving that wallpaper do really work wonders when it comes to bringing personality and style into any space.  

The decor pieces also played an important role blending the rich textures and patters and for the wallpaper print and calling color.  

We approached Virginia and Daphne of Cover Gals Blinds & Drapes to better understand their style, their interior design techniques and why they trust us for their wallpaper needs.

What Sets Walls Republic Apart from Other Wallpaper Suppliers?

How Do You Incorporate Wallpaper into Your Design Process, and What Role Does It Play in Your Creative Vision?

"Wallpaper is such a fantastic tool for transforming a space, especially in new builds that can sometimes feel a bit cookie-cutter or lacking in character. We see how wallpaper plays a central role in adding personality and style to a home. When working with new builds, incorporating wallpaper can be like adding the perfect accent piece to a room. It can instantly elevate the space and give it a unique flair, making it feel more personalized and lived-in."

What Advice or Tips Would You Offer to Fellow Interior Designers When It Comes to Selecting and Using Wallpaper Effectively in Their Projects?

"When it comes to selecting and using wallpaper effectively in interior design, a few thoughtful tips can make all the difference in creating a space that feels cohesive, stylish, and impactful. Here’s some advice I’d share with fellow interior designers:

• Consider some of the following:
  • Scale of the Room
  • Balance with Furniture
  • Complement the Existing Palette
  • The Lighting
  • Room-Specific Considerations
  • Practicality for Clients
  • Sample Swatches: Always get test samples – Walls Republic is fantastic for sending samples as needed.
  • Ceilings and Trim: Don’t forget that wallpaper doesn’t only have to go on walls! Consider wallpapering ceilings for a dramatic, unexpected effect, or use it to add texture and interest to trim or paneling.
  • Doors and Cabinets: Wallpaper can also be used to refresh doors, cabinetry, or even the inside of shelving units. It’s a simple way to introduce design elements without overhauling the entire room."

Can You Share a Design Trend You're Currently Excited About?

"We are so grateful that the grey and white color pattern is finally less popular. To us, color plays a huge role in the design process! Colors set the mood, influence emotions, and guide the overall aesthetic of a design. Choosing the right color palette can elevate a design and make it resonate more with its audience. I usually start by considering the message or feeling our clients want to convey. For example, warm colors like reds, oranges, and yellows tend to create energy and excitement, while cool colors like blues and greens evoke calmness and tranquility."

How Do You Balance Functionality and Aesthetics in Your Designs? What's Your Favorite Room to Design, and Why?

"Balancing functionality and aesthetics in design is all about creating spaces that are not only visually appealing but also practical and comfortable for the people who use them. To achieve this balance, we focus on the following:

• Understanding Purpose
• Ergonomics and Flow
• Choosing Materials Wisely

As for our favorite room to design, we have to say it’s the living room. It’s such a versatile space—it needs to be cozy yet social, relaxed but practical. It’s where people gather, entertain, and unwind, so it requires a careful balance of comfort and style."

Describe a Project That Was Particularly Rewarding for You.

"One design wallpaper project that stands out as particularly rewarding involved creating an Oasis out of a Circa 70’s modern house in their basement bathroom. The ceilings were only 7 feet tall and the room had no windows. The room felt like a prison! We installed a nature-inspired wallpaper with Large green foliage! We wanted to bring the outdoors and some life into this space. Even though the scale of this paper was large it did not overwhelm the room."
