The curved corners exude a transitional appeal that would fit a modern farmhouse, Hollywood glam, maximalist, and contemporary interior. For an elegant and refined appeal, we recommend installing it on a wall with a woven grasscloth wallpaper in taupe or nature-inspired color. For moodier spaces, these will look great on an emerald or hunter green painted wall.
