Transform Your Space: 5 European-Inspired Wall Treatments for a Stylish Home

When I moved into my '70s-era fixer, the first thing I changed were the walls. Tacky wallpaper, outdated slate around the fireplace, textured walls, and popcorn ceilings all had to go. I had it painted all white to transform the place from a cigarette-scented eyesore to a clean, modern canvas. Five years later, going into 2025, I'm craving COLOR and pattern and more texture. Enter this swoon-worthy LA home designed by husband and wife duo Karan and Sapna Aggarwal of L.A. design firm Bungalowe.

Wallpaper

The Eagle Rock home in Los Angeles was beautifully remodeled with European design in mind, taking cues from their travels to France and England. Think romantic wallpapers from House of Hackney, warm paint hues in browns and blush, and rich earthy greens.

Paint

The warm clay-colored paint in the butler's pantry provides a little breathing room from the abundance of pattern. "These treatments, along with limestone accents and custom trim work, were intended to add depth and warmth to the home," says Sapna.

Stone

The rustic stone wall, used in smaller kitchen areas and bedrooms, gives Nancy Meyers vibes a la The Holiday. Karan mentions that they drew inspiration from the majestic oak trees on the property, incorporating natural, earthy tones throughout the house.

Molding

The molding in the lounge, painted in the same earthy green as the dining room, subtly ties the spaces together while adding a touch of timeless elegance.

Tile

The Zia Zellige Racing Green tile complements the natural, rustic yet refined elegance of the home.

Karan states, "We wanted to design spaces that provided a sense of comfort and coziness while incorporating luxurious materials and thoughtful design details. Mission accomplished."
