The Bare Wall Phenomenon

I am sure I am not the only one who has noticed the trend for walls laid bare (not decorated). I find it all very comforting and it's a great excuse not to do the decorating.
I think I am confusing people here - I mean no paint or wallpaper

Fabric companies are using it,

photographic locations seem to demand it,

stylists love it,

come to think of it I even the same effect in a corner of my cottage.

  1. what do you mean with bare? The walls in the above pictures do not look that bare. Especially the beautiful bathroom.
    I would paint / plaster your wall to cover the test of the tiles that do not really match a cottage anyway. Or take the tiles of and see it the bare wall underneath worth to be bare.

  4. I love it! I wish my house were ancient enough to pull it off. Doesn't work so well with a modern ranch style.

  6. I like it Di,
    Both the Ghost and the first photo with fabric too.
    Sometime, less is more. I like being at a party where the people stand out as the works of art!!
