To infuse your home with some pre-war charm without making any major renovations, Lauren Lerner, principal designer and founder of Living with Lolo, recommends applying stone-inspired wallpaper. “We love the high-end look that is created by installing patterned wallpaper to your space,” she explains. “If installing wallpaper is not in your budget, try DIYing the look of wallpaper using a homemade stencil in a graphic pattern and bold paint on the wall.” The great thing about a project like this is that you can get creative with what “stone” means to you, whether that’s graphic but uniform pebbly shapes as seen above or a more abstract, cross-sectional quartz motif that spans a full wall as a mural.
