I love Graciewallpaper (De Gournay too of course but come now). It is so timeless, elegant and graceful. But although we are a household of 3 ladies
to 1 gentleman, I would worry that it would feel to delicate or girly in the
home. Here’s an easy way to eliminate
that:
Geometry! Geometric shapes read more masculine because
of the rigid proportions and hard lines.
Also, they are often used in modern designs, which as lends itself to
more masculine aesthetic in general. For
me, I zeroed in on the hexagon. By incorporating one or two of these elements
into a space, it immediate makes it seem less “fussy” with the introduction of
clean lines.
Mary McDonald’s a
designer who uses this idea in many of her rooms . . . check them out
below. Wouldn’t the room seem so stuffy
and old fashioned (well sort of . . . they’re pretty cool in general) if it
weren’t for the geometrics? She uses
hers mostly on the floor, but doesn’t mean you have to as well.

To flip
the scenario - - I like the idea of using the David Hicks wallpaper but pairing
it with traditional chintz window curtains in the same hue.
