This week on Built Classical, Konner takes the host seat to interview Amy on one of her favorite topics: wallpaper. Together, they trace wallpaper’s history from ancient China to English manor houses, unpack why it’s not a “trend” but a timeless design choice, and debate installation methods like paste vs. peel-and-stick. Amy shares her biggest wallpaper “icks” (spoiler: no accent walls), her favorite rooms for wallpaper, and why Schumacher is her go-to source. You’ll also hear personal stories of growing up with wallpapered ceilings, iconic movie houses like Home Alone, and how the right paper deepens the story of a home. If you’ve ever wondered how to choose the right pattern, style, or paint pairing — or if you just need encouragement to go for it — this is your episode.
