Wallpaper Wednesday: Wallpaper Splashback
Wallpapering a kitchen splashback can be a really clever, cost effective way of getting some feature colour or pattern into your interior. Generally, we tend to think of splashbacks as being tiled, painted or paneled in glass, but it's worth thinking of wallpapering as an alternative.

Once you've wallpapered a splashback (much the same as you would do a wall) - you need to seal the paper.
There are two obvious options for this; either laying a piece of clear glass over the top and using silicon sealer around the edges, or sealing the paper really well with a polyurethane product (available from most paint stores) - just ensure that it is a clear product, as many poly products have a yellow tinge that will ruin the effect of the wallpaper!

Choosing a vinyl wallpaper will give you even more peace of mind, as it is perfect for wet, damp areas that need to be wiped down.

Ethnic Inspired Interior - Home of Ellen Pompeo
If you've got a soft spot for ethnic inspired textiles and interior touches but aren't sure how to integrate them into your house - these images from the home of Grey's Anatomy actress Ellen Pompeo are such a great example of how to do it right - by keeping the base palette neutral and layering up with texture, colour and pattern!
