It’s kind of good everywhere, honestly.”—Jonathan Adler, potter, designer and authorHeadshot by Todd Tankersley“Our Malachite wallpaper is pretty epic, if I do say so myself.

6/6“I love a powder room wallpaper jewel box moment as much as the next designer. I have to say, my favorite wallpaper moment was from the late great Kate Spade who put the red Scalamandré Zebras wallpaper in all her closets.”—Christiane Lemieux, interior designer“I love a powder room wallpaper jewel box moment as much as the next designer.
