Turning Your Wall Into a Work of Art

STLtoday.com: It’s easy enough to hang artwork on your wall, but have you ever considered turning your wall into a work of art?
Beyond faux finishes, crown molding, chair rails, wainscoting and baseboards, new decorating techniques and products are giving three-dimensional grandeur to walls that is nothing but artistic.
Maya Romanoff of Chicago, a textile designer and wallpaper master, said that he began as an artist trying to sell items for people to put on walls. But that wasn’t the satisfaction he was looking for. He wanted his art to be the room, the walls, the finite boundary.
If people wanted Romanoff on their walls, he figured that they’d be willing to go all the way and make their walls into a Romanoff creation, not a backdrop but a focal point. His wallpaper products are well known and well regarded for their texture and artistry.
Paint may be the cheapest and easiest way to redecorate a room, but wallpaper can be more dramatic and pretty easy if you opt for just one accent wall. The newer wallcovering products no longer take many messy hours to apply or remove. Big patterns are great for concealing less than perfect walls.
And as Romanoff is fond of saying, wallpaper is art.
