Room Inspired Wrap

Inspired by designer Krista Ewart's use of this red and white Madeline Weinrib rug, I have been on the hunt for a holiday wrapping paper with a similar feel. The closest I have found to date is this Zig Zag pattern from Nepalese Paper. Their gift wraps are hand printed on cultivated bark, a practice which sustains both the environment and the local economy of Nepal. Everybody wins!

I absolutely love this room by Miles Redd. After a decade of pale blue and beige bedrooms, it is so refreshing to find a jolt of electric blue and graphic pattern to contrast with the crisp white linens. A similar metal canopy bed is available from Anthropologie (shown above left). The zig zag carpet is by Madeline Weinrib.
