The more we live in our Townhome the more I miss our trailer which we had been in the process of renovating and painting. I knew I wanted to put up wallpaper on one wall of the dinning room to set it off from the kitchen and living room because our home was a open-concept which I wanted but also wanted the living room, kitchen and dinning room to stand apart from each other.
Now that we are in our town home were stuck and can’t paint or even put up wallpaper which I hate. I’ve come up with a way to decorate without breaking the bank and we will use wallpaper in place of art. I know Charlie will love some of these pieces and want them for his room as well.

The annual Met Gala isn’t just a showcase of haute couture; it’s a melting pot of creativity, where fashion transcends its traditional boundaries. This year’s event saw actress Demi Moore and designer Harris Reed turning heads with their groundbreaking ensembles crafted from vintage wallpaper which you can find at Bobbi Beck.
The unique outfits have prompted design brand Bobbi Beck to curate a collection of wallpaper designs that are inspired by the hottest looks from this year’s event. Handpicked from their existing range, the wallpapers offer a fun twist for reinterpreting the catwalk looks into the home.
Zendaya
Zendaya stunned in a 1996 black gown from John Galliano’s Givenchy era and adorned it with a full bouquet of flowers on her head. She wasn’t the only star channeling dark florals, but she stole the show with the dramatic look.
James Mellan-Matulewicz, Creative Director at Bobbi Beck said: “Dark florals were recently most popular in 2019 but began to see a decline despite gothic aesthetics remaining on the rise. However, Zendaya’s amazing Met Gala outfit may just inspire a return to popularity for style as homeowners look for an edgier way to bring florals into their spaces.”
Naomi Campbell
Despite the theme for the Gala being Garden of Time, Naomi Campbell looked more at one with the ocean in her aqua coloured Burburry fringe dress. While the look might have missed the mark conceptually, it cleverly delivered style, glamour and subtlety all at once.
Lana Del Ray
In one of the more unusual outfits of the night, singer Lana Del Ray wowed in her custom dress designed by Seán McGirr. The outfit paid homage to an Alexander McQueen dress from the house’s AW 2006 collection. Commenting on the look, James added: “Branches and florals are always popular motifs in wallpaper, so it wasn’t too difficult to pair a design with Lana’s outfit, which channels occult themes and a Southern Gothic aesthetic.”
Hannah Bagshawe & Eddie Redmayne
London-based designer Steve O Smith was inspired by charcoal line drawings when designing for Eddie Redmayne and his wife Hannah Bagshawe. James said: “While the Japandi aesthetic is winding down, the ongoing popularity of organic shapes and fluid forms within the interiors world means that these simple black and white designs have strong staying power and will continue to be referenced in the future.”
Karlie Kloss
Karlie Kloss’s Swarovski dress featured over 200,000 crystals and took a team nearly 2000 hours to produce; the final outcome was a show-stopping outfit inspired by cherry blossoms. James added: “With the ongoing popularity of Japanese-inspired interiors, it’s easy to see how designers will turn to cherry blossoms for inspiration, whether that be in art, fashion or interiors. They have been a popular motif in interiors this past year as Japandi moves onto more colourful and sophisticated interpretations of Japanese style.”
Fashion has long been a source of inspiration for interior design, and vice versa. The lines between these two creative domains have blurred, with designers drawing inspiration from each other’s worlds to create exciting pieces. This year’s Met Gala provided another smorgasboard of inspiration for the world of interiors and is sure to influence trends within the home.
