Lisa and her amazing assistant Kristelle did a great job wallpapering the back feature wall in my condo. I love it! We chose Marimekko’s Lumimarja wallpaper from New Wall (pictured above) and I really love how it looks. Read more on Lisa’s blog!

The flooring installers from End of the Roll just showed up at my door, ready to finish up the job. Yesterday, they installed the new floors throughout the living room and now, just the kitchen and front foyer are left. I really can’t wait to see the whole thing completed. It’s looking amazing already.
Since they’re finished in the living room, my designer Lisa Canning (check out her website at condosbycanning.com) is ready to get the wallpaper up. Our design plan has evolved throughout this process and we’ve agreed that we love Marimekko’s Lumimarja wallpaper from New Wall (pictured above) for the front foyer and on the long back wall of the living room (behind the sofa). Hopefully the wallpaper can go up today – we have to work around the flooring guys! But as you can see, things are really starting to come together.
What are your thoughts on the wallpaper? I just returned home from a vacation that took me to Finland. While in Helsinki, I strolled through the must-visit, typically Finnish design stores like Marimekko and Iittala. I love the playful feeling in their designs and this Marimekko wallpaper is fresh and fun, without being too overwhelming for a small space. What do you think?
I often blog about wallcoverings but that`s because they`ve come a long way, baby! Not so long ago, wallpaper was a sign of dated decor. Not any more! With a growing number of suppliers becoming accessible comes a growing number of design options and I love what I`m seeing. I think you will, too. So check this out: New Wall is a Canadian distributor of brand name wallcoverings and they`re the exclusive distributor of Finland`s Marimekko and Italy`s Janelli & Volpi.
The designs are fresh and modern and, well, sort of European in feeling. These aren`t for the faint of heart — the patterns aren`t safe, they make a statement. And the statement is that you`re confident in your taste, your decor decisions and your sense of style. Confident colours and bold patterns make these wallpapers truly eye-catching. They`re sure to liven any room and personalize your space in a way that paint just can`t. Here are some of my favourites from New Wall`s collections:
I love these season-inspired patterns from Marimekko:
And these bold statements from J&V:
Woah.
Talk about a match made in heaven.
Check out the new Marimekko collection of custom IKEA furniture slipcovers from Bemz… Without a doubt, the best fabric options Bemz has put out yet.
Hello, fuchsia! What a striking statement piece… (Bemz also scores extra points for styling this shot with my all-time favourite bowl in the background – the red, stemmed Maribowl from Iittala!)

Marimekko is a Finnish design studio that absolutely epitomizes “freshness”. Their designers have basically defined the superchic Scandinavian modern aesthetic that’s now a global phenomenon.
Â
Â
Marimekko’s poppy print (“Unikko”) is probably the studio’s single most iconic contribution to design. Here, it breathes new life into IKEA’s Henriksdal Parsons chair.

And here, IKEA’s Klippan sofa gets the Unikko treatment.
There’s only 13 days left until these very merry Marimekko upholstery options are launched from the Bemz website… Check out the live countdown here!
