Wallpapered Furniture

Turn old console table, side boards, chest of drawers, cupboards, dressers into quirky, elegant, jazzed up, fashionable, fun, stylish (insert more adjectives here!) furniture.

Check Bryonie Porter’s furniture collection here. She can wallpaper old furniture, room walls and maybe she can also supply the furniture and wallpapered already.

Of course, you can try DIY-ing this but above average crafting-skill may be necessary. Corners, edges & carvings of furniture are hard to do and final coat of lacquer is needed. I remember wasting two frost-glass-look-rolls once upon a time. I still end up calling the pros eventually. And, for maximum effect, you may need real good designer-look wallpapers with right texture and prints. You can contact some friendly decorators or interior designers and ask if they know professional “wallpaperer” and/or “specialist” that can do this. Or, let your interior designer take care of the furniture customizing.

If you’re here in the Philippines, check her site for inspiration. And, if you reside where she’s at (she is in UK I think), you may phone her and discuss stuff.
