deboer’s wicked wallcovering idea

I was in the DeBoer’s North York showroom recently, and had to take some snaps of their merchandiser’s amazing display in the Trump Home section. (Yes, that’s The Donald’s own home collection.)

The bedroom vignette is certainly stunning enough – but take a closer look at the “wallpaper” behind the headboard…

Those are actually sheets of 8.5-by-11 copy paper, individually tacked to the wall! The merchandiser simply drafted up a motif on paper, which includes the Donald’s signature crest, and photocopied it to create the repeat. What a fantastic and innovative approach to wallcoverings!

This display actually netted the DeBoer’s team a Trump Home award for merchandising. Congrats gang!

He’ll tell you what you need, what you really, really need!

(Yes, I’m still haunted by the Spice Girls.)

Karl Lohnes, our very own Contributing Style Editor, will present “What You Really Need: Decorating for 2009″ at the College Park location of DeBoer’s on Saturday, February 7. If you’ve never had the chance to see Karl live, I strongly suggest you RSVP online right away because space is limited. With his wealth of experience — and armed with a razor-sharp wit — Karl’s presentations are always a huge hit at trade shows, and in the intimate setting of DeBoer’s gorgeous College Park showroom (an inspiration in itself), this is not to be missed. Karl’s gonna dish on decorating trends for the upcoming year, suggest the new must-have accessories, furniture and paint colours, and he may even hold the solution to your design dilemma… Oh, and it’s FREE.

See you there!
