Fine artist Peter Costello uses walls as his canvases, transforming rooms into masterpieces. He works in many styles, having completed everything from ornate ceiling paintings that recall Michelangelo’s Italian Renaissance frescoes to a moody art deco-patterned feature wall for a masculine office. Textural treatments are another specialty: gorgeous sculptural flowers frame a mirror in a recent golden-hued bathroom project.
Walls have the power to do more than just physically define a space — their design sets the tone for everything within them. Whether it’s bright and bold fabric wallpaper, textural cladding or geometric acoustic panelling, successful surface solutions are often just as functional as they are visually striking. Enter Canadian wall expert Freske. Launched nationwide this year — and born from a team of material and design professionals — the new Montreal-based brand boasts an impressive portfolio of innovative wall coverings.
