Fiona Says: Weeks once did a teenage girl's bedroom completely in a blue-and-cream toile, using the fabric on the windows, on the bedding, on the chairs, and on the walls. "The result is really wonderful," she says. "You can't tell where the wallpaper and fabric begin and end."

In this room: Weeks cleverly used different toiles to create energy. The artwork serves as the calming focal point, and a Flokati rug and crewel-upholstered chair provide a sense of fun.
