9. Damask Wallpaper Feature Wall with Hidden Pull-Out Shoe Drawers
Introduction and What This Idea Means
Damask patterns carry centuries of regal, gothic heritage. By featuring a flock damask wallpaper on the back wall of the mudroom and pairing it with ultra-modern hidden push-to-open shoe drawers, you achieve the ultimate balance of historic opulence and sleek utility.
How to Make It
Apply a flocked black-on-black or silver-on-charcoal damask wallpaper to the interior wall of the staircase alcove. Below it, construct custom pull-out drawer units that slide out horizontally on heavy-duty caster wheels, completely disappearing into the base of the framework when closed.
Tips
Choose a vinyl or washable damask wallpaper so that any mud splashes or scuffs from shoes can be easily cleaned.
Variations and Essentials
- Variations: Use a metallic gold damask pattern on a matte black background for extra reflective glamour.
- Essentials: Flocked damask wallpaper, wallpaper paste, custom rolling drawer boxes, heavy-duty casters, push-latches.
