We love incorporating wallpaper into a room, whether as the main focal point or the perfect background. Occasionally, wallpaper can be like art—a client falls in love and we make it work. But it is most often part of an overall design, determined by the clients’ space and lifestyle.

DuVäl Reynolds, DuVäl Design, LLC

The main rule of thumb is to work with a trusted material that can withstand usage and changes in humidity. I work exclusively with commercial-grade vinyl—even in residential projects—to ensure quality and durability. I like to use wallpaper where it’s least expected; I’ve noticed bold prints are coming back.

Melanie Whittington, Whittington Design Studio

We love wallpaper! It can transform a space with character and dimension. We use it to cover a whole room, or as an accent wall, ceiling treatment or mural framed in wood trim. Bold patterns in tiny powder rooms deliver giant impact.
—Melanie Whittington, Whittington Design Studio
Sarita Simpson and Jason Claire, Interior Matter
interiormatter.com, 202-900-3818
Lately, we’re loving textured wall covering as a base layer, elevating a room but not overwhelming it. We enjoy texture and rich color; in smaller spaces like powder rooms and foyers we like larger, bold patterns. Of course, we always consider how artwork will layer on top of wall coverings.
—Sarita Simpson & Jason Claire, Interior Matter
Laura Fox, Laura Fox Interior Design, LLC

I love playing up small or unexpected areas with wall covering. Whether it’s an accent wall, a powder room or a vestibule, wallpaper can add great personality to a space. Vendors like Phillip Jeffries and Clarke & Clarke push the envelope with texture, pattern and three-dimensional images; velvet walls and nail-stud effects can now be achieved with wall coverings for a fraction of the cost.

Residential Addition $100,000 to $250,000
Arlington clients tapped Alair Homes to build a master suite addition to their classic Colonial abode—specifying a clean, modern aesthetic and natural light “pouring in from all directions.” Luther Paul Weber, AIA, Architect, accomplished this goal by incorporating floor-to-ceiling windows and unique features such as a retractable wall, perimeter light box and vaulted ceiling. The glass shower offers linear drains and curbless entry. A bay window in the master bedroom extends down to the existing room below, conveying an integrated appearance from the exterior. The finished space is functional and beautiful, realizing the owners’ vision for their home.

For more than 35 years, FineCraft has embraced a collaborative approach, encouraging both homeowners and architects to adopt the philosophy that each project is as successful as the team players who work together on it.
CotY Award Winner | Best of Houzz 2014-2020
FineCraft was tapped to design a 2,000-square-foot kitchen/family room addition to a vintage, 1940s house in Chevy Chase. To maintain a seamless connection between old and new, the addition, containing a spacious new kitchen and family room, continues the eight-foot ceilings in the existing home—and rejuvenates the dark, compartmentalized original rooms with a flood of natural light. Beams have been installed in both the kitchen and family room that give dimension to both spaces. Black-framed windows and doors create clean-lined contrast against white walls.
The remodeled kitchen centers on an island topped with Belgian bluestone. Space from the garage has been appropriated to create a mudroom and laundry area, leaving a half-garage for storage. The dated attic is now an en-suite bedroom with an office.

Metro Building & Remodeling Group is an award-winning, design-build remodeling firm and custom home-builder. Typical projects include kitchens, bathrooms, finished basements, home additions, whole house remodels and more.
Grand for Basement Over $250,000
A basement in Ashburn, Virginia, was designed and remodeled by Metro Building and Remodeling Group for a family that loves sports, games and entertaining.
The project features a spacious recreation room centering on three large-screen TVs. Adjacent to the area, a custom wet bar boasts another TV. A kids’ playroom is separated from the rec room and bar by a custom, oversized barn door; windows allow adults to supervise without entering
the playroom.
A home office easily converts to a guest room with a full bath. The lower-level space also includes a fully equipped home gym, half bath, storage areas and the home’s mechanical systems. A photo of this project was the most-saved basement photo on Houzz in 2019.

Michael Nash Design, Build & Homes combines style and function in a bright, welcoming addition intended to enhance visits by extended family.
Grand: Residential Addition Under $100,000
A retired couple in Mount Vernon, Virginia, wished to update and expand their rambler for themselves and their visiting children and grandkids. They contacted Michael Nash Design, Build & Homes for a job that would enclose the home’s old carport and renovate the unfinished attic above it.
The design team widened the structure and enclosed it to create a sunroom that can double as a garage. The upstairs room is embellished with drywall, trim work and carpeting; currently, it’s a game room with a ping pong table, but it can easily be converted into a study in future. The upper level is brightened by skylights and recessed lighting.

Clients asked Michael Nash Design, Build & Homes to create a pub-like environment that would foster their love of wine and the Washington Capitals.
Region 2 Southeast: Basement $100,000 to $250,000; Merit: Basement $100,000 to $250,000
Michael Nash Design, Build & Homes was hired to transform a run-of-the-mill basement into a pub-style space with a bar, wine cellar and, down the hall, a gym and full bath. The owners, avid hockey fans, also requested space for showcasing their Washington Capitals memorabilia.
The Michael Nash team designed a dark-stained, cherry-wood bar topped with granite and featuring seating on leather stools. Storage is concealed behind a wall of display shelves beside the bar. A custom, arched door leads to the wine cellar, which boasts mahogany wine racks, beaded wood paneling and climate control. A stone fireplace wall beckons from one corner of the room.

Exterior Medics provides lifetime building solutions so that you can focus on what’s most important to you.
Grand: Residential Exterior $50,000 to $100,000
A red-brick Colonial in Great Falls, Virginia, badly needed improvements to its mundane exterior. The homeowners hired Exterior Medics for an overhaul that would create curb appeal and a classic look. Their mandate: They didn’t want to be able to recognize the house once the job was done.
Exterior Medics dramatically transformed the home’s exterior via a thoughtful and collaborative process. The original drab brick is now white, and black-painted shutters have been installed for contrast; black gutters add definition to the lines of the residence. A handcrafted metal railing replaced a solid-wood rail above the front entry, which welcomes visitors through a bold, green-painted front door.

The first thing I consider when selecting fabrics is how my clients live. How will the spaces be used? What is the budget? From there, we hone in on vendors and types of fabric. Based on how much “punch” we want to give, pattern, color and texture will then be the deciding factors.

When selecting fabrics, I start with a textured solid for the furniture piece and add graphic, colorful fabrics for throw pillows. Let’s face it—most of us like change but don’t want to spend thousands to reupholster a sofa. Pillows are an easy, cost-effective way to make that change.

We love pattern play! A simple color palette allows you to incorporate lots of patterns and textures. Fabric on the walls provides even more texture than wallpaper and works well with geometric patterns. You can combine geometrics without them looking busy if you keep the colors consistent.

Any fabric scheme starts with inspiration. It can come from a pattern, a rug, artwork or a favorite hotel. I then create a story, considering the fabric’s application and incorporating scale, pattern and texture. Every story has its main characters—eye-catching draperies or accents—and supporting characters, which are the foundational pieces. Each enhances the other.

Using many different fabrics adds layers and texture to a room. Having one color run through all of them connects the patterns, providing continuity to a design. Throwing in an animal print acts as a neutral and adds a dash of unexpected whimsy to the room.
