Paint & Wallpaper

In my nightly internet troll research, I decided to search for some images of wallpaper panel inserts so I can share a project Pearl Painting recently completed.  Remember the killer closet we did with the glamorous beaded wallpaper?  Well as the client didn't want her closet photos on a blog, I searched on line to find more examples - so voila!  

The examples here are a good representation of the type of treatment that particular client wanted.  What do you think of it?  By using a complementing but contrasting paint color on the panels and trim, you can really highlight the subtle wallpaper choices, or actually highlight a more vibrant paper choice. 

By using a grass cloth paper (for example) you can add a lot of texture to a room, which in turn adds warmth.  By complementing it with a similarly toned paint, you instantly create depth to a space. It's foolproof!

I personally like the geometrical shape on the panels in the first photo, but you can keep the atrocious driftwood branch light fixture. (What the hell were they thinking??)
