Wallpaper is a major interior design trend right now, here in Chicagoland and across the country.  It's hardly surprising that this iconic piece of home decor is having a moment. Wallpaper has existed in some form or another for hundreds of years. Over the centuries, it passed from being a sign of wealth and royalty in European palaces, to an affordable and enduring way for just about everyone to bring color and texture into their homes.  After the rise of mid-century modernism in the mid 20th century, wallpaper slowly fell out of fashion over the course of the 1980s and '90s. But more recently, a new generation of artists and designers have started experimenting with cutting edge printing technologies, bold colors and patterns, and new application techniques — bringing wallpaper back into fashion with a vengeance.

Want to live in a spot where you can rub elbows with painters, sculptors, and photographers? Here are five Chicagoland communities perfect for art lovers: 

Whether you need to find somewhere convenient to stay for a business trip or you want to explore a new city like a local, using a home sharing or vacation rental service is a great way to head somewhere new, while still feeling right at home.  Airbnb, VRBO, HomeAway, and other listing sites make it easy for travelers to find spare bedrooms, accessory units, and even entire houses or apartments, all available for a quick stay or for more long-term lodging. 

Chicago's past, present, and future all come together in the city's iconic Gold Coast neighborhood — and there is no team better equipped to help you navigate this area's real estate market than the agents of Baird & Warner Gold Coast.  Originally conceived as the "Astor Street District" in the 1800s, the Gold Coast has long been a popular destination for shopping, dining, and nightlife. Since the turn of the century, the Gold Coast has been well-regarded as a hotbed of incredible homes, full of historic mansions, greystones, and too many high-rise complexes to count. Throughout the decades, some of Chicago's most famous citizens have called the Gold Coast home, ranging from real estate developer Potter Palmer to media mogul Oprah Winfrey.
