But while' we accept flaws in our'friends and spouses, we don't have to settie for them in our Fashioniîig a bouse dloser to heart's desire can be a matter of basic remodeling - add ing a new wing, or re- shaping the space you have.. But often it can be a matter of visual sieigbt-of-hand.. The trick: focus on the walls and use pattern and color to change space, change character, too. According to Robert Cappel, design director of Wall-Tex wallcoverings, "A wallcovering can do a lot more for a room than just look pretty. Depending on the size and coloring of the pattern, and the way it's used in the room, it can make a space look larger or smaller, ample or cozy. It can even help carve two rooms out of one." A case in point is the- breakfast room in our photo. Simple sliding panels, hung from a valance, divide a large, old-fasbioned kitchen into two rooms. By covering doors and walls with WaIl-Tex's bright and splashy floral - it's called "April Showers/May Flowers" - the new room takes on a garden-fresh look that's pretty enough for You could try the sanie trick to divide the children's room - but use two different wallcoverings so each child truly bas a room to caîl his/ ber own., Hint: get color-coordi- nated wallcoverings - like a plaid and a matching floral -50o that the two spaces can work as one super room when the sliding panels are open. Sometimes, the wali- coverings alone can create a new space. Cover one wall at the end of the living room with a special pattern, and immediately you set it apart as a special place - perbaps for dining, perhaps for study or games. For a dining area, you might choose a tiniy geometric on a shiny foul to reflect candleglow, spark conversation; for games, rnaybe a lively stripe or a noveity. If you do remôdei, wallcoverings can provide a big assist.. First, there's -nothing like pattern -on the walls to unite two different areas - for example, where oid and new parts of the bouse cone' together. Second, a sturdy Wali- coveiring is a great cover-up, for old walls. Putting up a wallcovering need hold no terrors: it's canie ' than you think.' You can ge p o nt rsfrom your local wallpaper store or home center; some of theni even have a corner set aside where you can try it out for yourself, on the spot!
