Clos-ette's Solution To The Everlasting Wallpaper vs. Paint Debate!

As every home owner knows, the debate over wallpaper vs. paint is ongoing. And at some point you, too, will be faced with the eternal question of “Which is better..wallpaper or paint?” While these two finishes come in and out of style, year after year, Clos-ette has found a timeless solution...


...Carolina von Humbolt. She is a trompe l’oeil painter, who can turn your bare walls into masterpieces. Although originally an aspiring model, Carolina has been painting since she was a little girl. She then went on to work as a textile designer for D. Porthault in Paris and for Eliakim, a designer with whom she was involved in decorationg, display windows, product design and exhibition concepts.



Since moving to New York City, she has become one of the most sought after trompe l’oeil artists. She specializes in trompe l’oeil as well as contemporary and traditional faux finishes. You can find her work in homes across the country as well as hotels, such as the Four Seasons. She is based in New York, but travels all over the world to bring her unique talent into clients’ homes. No project is too large or too small for her, as she has done every size project from backsplashes and small walls to entire resorts. Whether the job is a specific request by the client or an original idea of her own, Carolina has worked with many successful architects and celebrity clientele to produce beautiful artwork. Her work is constantly exciting as she describes every project, “a new story, a new adventure, a different place, light and atmosphere.”

You can check out the rest of her portfolio at her website www.carolinavonhumboldt.com. To get in contact, email Carolina at carolinahumboldt@gmail.com.
