THIS OR THAT: BEDROOM WALLPAPER!

July 5, 2012
  • Share
modern bedroom with one wall covered in gray wallpaper with branches on it, light wood floor, an antique chair and a window overlooking a yard

Hope you had a fabulous July 4th holiday! Now back to design!

Two bedrooms with a little something in common. Wallpaper.

Wallpaper is used on a feature wall behind the bed in each of the rooms. The styles are very different…one room is modern and sparse with cool gray and white tones…while the other room is more traditional with the use of bright green and turquoise.

Do you like the way wallpaper is used in these sleeping spaces? If so, which one do you prefer? These are the questions in today’s THIS OR THAT!

bedroom with wall covered in green toile wallpaper. The bed has a molded headboard and is surrounded by two wall sized wardobes

I’m going to have to go with room #1. You?

Happy Thursday!

P.S. Check out COCOCOZY Twitter to see where I spent the 4th.

P.P.S. Also, make sure to follow me on Instagram…you can see the vintage brass Stiffel lamps I just had rewired and that I think I will use at COCOCOZY HQ offices.

    I’m going with room number 2 (although I had a hard time choosing!). I love how the paper is reiterated with the blanket — one of my favorite looks. 🙂

    I have to agree with you, #1. It is just simple and clean to me. #2 is to loud for my liking!

    (PS, just started following you via IG, thanks!)

    LOVE both of these! I’m thinking of papering my living room. I don’t know a single soul who has wallpaper. It’s very rare nowadays! Do you think it’s easier than painting?

    Although I liked the tranquility,
    #1 looked bare, like someone just moved in. I think a great headboard
    would pull the room together.

    Both wallpapers are absolutely beautiful! I choose #2. The green is so calming….. But #1 is so winter-y and still.

    I’m all about the first one. It’s almost like a painting, and for a bedroom I like something quieter. I do really like the lime wallpaper–it’s just that it’s so overwhelming covering a large area. I for one prefer wall art to wall paper since you can swap it out anytime you want. However, these gorgeous wallpapers make me wonder if I can have a little of each!

    Two very different looks. One contemporary and one traditional. I like both for different reasons. #1 is clean and minimal. #2 is more lush and rich. Tough choice, but personally in my current mindset, I’d go for #1.

    I think #2 is a much better use of accent wallpaper. It’s so hard to pull off because of the transition of where the paper meets the wall. I always think it looks unfinished. But in #2, the built in cabinetry makes that odd corner go away! Well done.

    I am going with Room #2; love the cabinetry nestled around the bed. The creams and blues neutralize the lime green The combination of stripes and the oriental print works well!

    I think I’m going with number 2 because it’s so fun, but I doubt I could live with it in my own home..

    I love the bright colors of the second room- a little like Lilly Pulitzer meets Pottery Barn!

    The palette in room #1 is what does it for me. Super chic.

    I’d rather prefer the first option…. very soothing and relaxing.
    the second maybe for a vacation home.
    Nice day!

    I like the first one. The simplicity of the branches really speaks to me. And you could do a lot with it. A large mirror with a thick frame could really spice things up.

A soft touch of pink, layered into the space. Not A soft touch of pink, layered into the space. Not overpowering, just enough to warm everything up, walls, upholstery, even the smallest details.
It shifts the mood completely. Calmer, softer, and a little more lived in.
Save this if you’re leaning toward softer, warmer spaces. 🌸

What makes the Saint-Martin Apartment in Paris so What makes the Saint-Martin Apartment in Paris so hard to look away from is the deliberate clash Sophie Dries @sophiedries_ created and didn’t try to resolve.
The bones of the apartment are pure Haussmann: ornate cornicing, carved boiserie, a marble fireplace with a gilded mirror. Everything a 19th-century Parisian apartment should be. Then she placed a near-black dining table with brass-legged stools into the middle of it. A raw concrete-look bathroom behind the grandeur. Dark, sculptural objects on surfaces that were built for delicate things.
It works because she didn’t try to blend the two, she let them sit in contrast. The apartment feels lived-in and specific because of it.
→ Save this if you’re mixing old architecture with contemporary furniture.

From classic to modern, rustic to minimal, the pap From classic to modern, rustic to minimal, the paper lantern just fits. It softens the room, diffuses the light, and rounds out even the sharpest architectural edges without demanding any attention. 🏮
Are you into paper lanterns, or do you prefer a more structured statement light? 🧐

Streets of #Paris. 📍 Rue de Castiglione — Laid ouStreets of #Paris. 📍
Rue de Castiglione — Laid out under Napoleon in the early 1800s, this neoclassical street connects Place Vendôme to the Tuileries Garden in one clean, symmetrical line.
Place de Furstenberg — A tucked-away square in Saint-Germain-des-Prés that was once home to the painter Eugène Delacroix, and still feels like little has changed.
Les Antiquaires on Rue du Bac — A street with centuries of history, now best known for its cluster of antique dealers trading in furniture, paintings, and curiosities and home to @les_antiquaires_paris bistro which is an easy spot to grab a bite near the Seine.
Musée du Louvre — Built as a medieval fortress in the 12th century, it became a royal palace, then the world’s most visited museum, home to the Mona Lisa and tens of thousands of other works.
Église Saint-Sulpice — Paris’s second-largest church, with a gnomon installed inside to track the sun’s position and help calculate the liturgical calendar.
Les Deux Magots — The Saint-Germain café where Simone de Beauvoir, Sartre, and Hemingway once gathered, and a lasting symbol of Paris’s literary culture.
Place Vendôme — Commissioned under Louis XIV, this octagonal square is anchored by the Vendôme Column, cast from cannons captured at the Battle of Austerlitz.
Shops, people, and buildings that make you stop for a second and look up. Every corner feels different. Old, detailed, and full of life. Sometimes this is the best part. Just being here. ❤️

Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment was designed to feel like a little piece of Beirut — a pied-à-terre that keeps her connected to Lebanon while living in France.
Architect Carl Gerges @carlgergesarchitects built the whole interior around warmth and softness: a caramel sofa, a pink kitchen, milky whites throughout. Nothing sharp, nothing cold. The palette reads as indulgent without trying. It’s the kind of space that feels like it was chosen for comfort first and aesthetics second, even though both are clearly considered.
What’s easy to miss is the restraint underneath it all. The softness works because it’s disciplined. Every piece earns its place in the same tonal story.
→ Save this if you’re building a warm, tonal interior from scratch.
