Bedrooms with wallpaper borders painted gray

These bedrooms were covered in older wallpaper. Two rooms had tan and brown striped paper from floor to ceiling, which made the spaces feel dark and narrow. A third bedroom had peach painted walls with a floral wallpaper border running around the top of the room just below the ceiling. In the before photos, the furniture is grouped in the middle of each room and covered with plastic and moving blankets. In the after photos, the stripes and the border are gone, and every wall is a smooth, even cool gray with a slight lavender cast. The ceilings are a clean flat white and meet the walls in a crisp line. The white closet and bedroom doors, window casings and baseboards look brighter against the gray. With the busy patterns removed, the rooms look larger and calmer, and the dark wood armoire and dresser stand out against the plain walls.
