With an intense resurgence in the interest of fine wallpapers for the home, gone are the wallpapers of decades ago. New wallpaper choices are manufactured with high quality and performance grade materials perfect for today’s home environment. Wallpaper has also come into its own as a form of large format art. “Using wallpaper as an accent in the home gives the owner an opportunity to tap into their hobbies and design aesthetic in a fresh, updated way,” says Batya Stepelman, founder and owner of Colorado-based WallTawk Boutique and Design Consultancy. The spelling of the business name is a nod to New York City, Stepelman’s hometown.
WallTawk is located inside an 1895 home in the historic section of Denver’s Congress Park. Working with homeowners and as a trade resource for interior designers, WallTawk carries a large selection of woven wallcoverings in grass cloth and other natural fibers, and textiles in beautifully simple patterns like herringbone. Bold modern and quirky vintage patterns are available for any space. By appointment only, WallTawk has worked with homeowners, shop owners, hospitality, and the trade for the past eight years.

An ideal choice for mountain homes, WallTawk carries papers that highlight the love of fly fishing and outdoor sports. Wallpapers with a botanic theme bring the beauty of the nature indoors, and woven wallcoverings offer a sense of snug warmth and comfort that soothes the senses year-round. Eclectic choices work well in a powder room or office space and hint at a quirky sense of fun.
Understanding client preferences is the first step in assisting customers to identify the perfect wallcovering. Room images and budget guidelines are also thoughtfully considered. An additional factor is the purpose of the room to be papered. “For kitchens and bathrooms, high performance, durable wallpaper is a must,” explains Stepelman. “Wallpaper is an investment, and clients want it to stay beautiful for years.”

Specializing in wallpapers created by independent designers from around the globe, Stepelman explains, “Independent minds put so much thought and creativity into their work. It is such a pleasure to feature it in the shop.” Bespoke, custom papers are also available. “If you don’t see what you’re looking for, just ask,” exclaims Stepelman. “We have access to just about anything.”
