Styling Method

For a dramatic, historical look, choose a midnight-navy or charcoal botanical wallpaper dense with deep burgundy peonies, forest ferns, and climbing ivy. Install a built-in wooden storage bench beneath an alcove window, topping it with a plush, tufted forest-green velvet cushion. Flank the wallpapered nook with warm-toned unlacquered brass wall sconces fitted with mini pleated empire shades.
