Holiday Ideas House 2015

Hirshfield’s has the pleasure of working with the dynamic design team that puts together the Bachman’s Ideas House each and every season. Hirshfield’s paints and wallpapers are featured as a backdrop for the creatively styled Bachman’s vignettes, table settings, and floral arrangements. I thought it would be fun to share the array of wallpapers used in the Ideas House over the years. Read the rest of this entry »

Fleurique321804-321824

I’m excited to show you a new wallpaper book from Eijffinger called Fleurique. I know Eijffinger isn’t for everyone, but it appeals to my sense of style. The strong colors, patterns, and European flair is what I like most about this line.

This book is inspired by brightly colored flowers. Rounding out the book are stripes, overscaled snowflakes, raised patterns with matte and glossy finishes playing together. Never a dull color in the Eijffinger books.

Fleurique surprised me with the elongated triangles shown here in neutrals, which also is available in a lovely pink. And how cool is wallpaper that looks like shiny, iridescent eyes of peacock feathers? It’s a modern looking pattern not found in other wallpaper books; plus, it’s available in some doable neutral colorways. I see patterns from this book crossing the line from residential to commercial applications. Eijffinger has not disappointed me yet.

The wallcovering libraries vary at each Hirshfield’s location. Call in advance if you are looking for a specific book, and ask if the book is checked in. Our stores are seeing a steady increase in customers looking for wallpaper which is very exciting for us wallpaper lovers.

{wallpaper week: club by eijffinger}

“You have to see the book in person, it’s nothing like anything we have had before.” Hirshfield’s Design Studio

 From Gothic to glam, the mix of patterns in the CLUB collection lends to both residential or commercial spaces. The purple hologram, mirrored bubbles, and reflective foils would work well in a restaurant, bar, lobby, or club. Other patterns are sophisticated in color and design giving your home a stunning contemporary feel. Read the rest of this entry »

{wallpaper week: eijffinger’s uni royal book}

I have deemed this week “Wallpaper Week.” Why? Because I have images from five incredible wallpaper collections to share.  According to our store personnel, more and more people are coming in and asking for help selecting wallpaper. I’m hoping you’ll see a room setting which inspires you to get excited about wallpaper. Whether you are a wallpaper newbie or always had wallpaper in your home, Hirshfield’s staff will help you find the perfect paper for your home and your personality. Read the rest of this entry »

Welcome Eijffinger!

Finally. We have been waiting sooo long for you to come to Minnesota. Hirshfield’s is very excited to offer your Gracia and Belle de Jour books to our customers.

Eijffinger is a Dutch wallcovering and fabric company that caught my eye a few years back. Their wallcoverings and room settings have that European feel which always pulls me in. In addition to beautiful neutral designs, other patterns are big, bold, and bright.

The substrate on the wallcoverings from the Belle de Jour book is a 100% non woven which makes the papers easy up and easy down. Cindy, at our Maple Grove store, has hung and stripped non woven paper. She cannot say enough good things about it. “It is breathable, doesn’t shrink, very strippable, comes down in one big sheet. It is the greatest.” She also stresses, “preparation is still the key to a successful wallcovering job.”

Thinking about wallcovering, but are apprehensive? Ask to be directed to the non woven books at our retail stores. See what they look and feel like. Let Hirshfield’s staff help you find your personal style.
