Mallory (Male Vampire) x Anonymous Reader (Sfw)
(I am not sure when I will go back to this story as I am working on comicking stuff. . . <:) But I will share a piece of it here, the most solid bit of writing I have for it! A new house with a surprise resident, a shy vampire who just wants a peaceful life.)
It was an old Victorian style house. Tall and proud with long curving windows. The building had two layers with an asymmetrical design. The right side of the home bowed outward in a semi hexagonal shape. While the right side held a modest porch and wooden railings that ran around the space and flanked either side of the steps. Wooden gingerbread styling encrusted the bottom of the roof. It was a lonesome house, one surrounded by trees and that sat atop a hill with a twisting road. Through the forest of leaves, when they parted just right. It gave a wide scope of the ground below. There was a small town that sat nestled at the edge of the forest. From this vantage point, you could barely see the bumpy dirt road nestled between the brilliant fire red and yellow leaves.
It was a sunny day, some of the last warmth in October had come in a wave. Like the last expelling of warm breathe before cold nestled into the bones of the earth.
You had gotten out of your car, feet swinging from the vehicle to stand and look out over the treeline. The view alone was entrancing. Watching leaves tumble and twist through the air. Following an unknown path to an unknown destination. You heard a voice call your name, and with some reluctance you turned away from the picturesque view. Closing the door to your car with a satisfying snap before you turn and set your sights on the house. Your eyes travel along its details. It had been painted in black trim and the base a pale mint green that had faded with time. The paint was peeling in places, but it offered promise. A smile tugged at the corners of your mouth as you walked up the driveway, A nicely dressed woman in a navy suit was standing in front of the aging porch steps.
“Welcome to Wishwillow! I am so glad we had the chance to meet. I'm Loiuse, we spoke on the phone last week.” She gave a smile of perfect white teeth as she gave your hand an exuberant shake. She had walked towards you, closing the last of the distance.
“Hi Loiuse.” You reply, “I am really happy to take a look at the house." You pause to glance up at it's high windows. "it’s beautiful.”
“It really is, and we are so happy to finally have someone show interest in this old place. It’s almost one hundred years old, did you know? There is a lot of history here.”
You nod, bringing your attention from the house as she claps her hands.
“Well! Let’s take a tour shall we?” She turns on her heels, a confident stride has her dark curls bouncing as you follow her dutifully up the steps.
“Is there. . . a lot of need for renovations? Adding fixtures, things like that?” You ask tentatively as she produces a small key from her pocket and begins to jiggle the lock.
“Oh goodness no! The last person who lived here modernized it the best she could while staying true to the house's heritage.”
The door opened with a creaky wail, and you scrunch your nose at the sound.
“How long. . . ago was that?”
“Twenty years or so,” She chirped, stepping inside and flicking on the lights.
You grimace at that, “That sounds like a long time for a house to be empty.”
She flashes you a knowing smile, “We worked very hard to keep it maintained, Ms. Hemlock, that last owner of Wishwillow, had no heirs in her will. She put whatever money she had left into keeping this house in working condition.”
Past the entrance was a thin hallway that branched off into different rooms. A big parlor to the left with polished wood floors. A few coils of wire came down like tendrils from the ceiling. You gathered that at some point a chandelier had hung down from the ceiling.
"The kitchen is down the hall," Loiuse explains, patiently letting your gaze wander the interior.
"And the left is where the parlor was. There is a small sitting room by the kitchen, and upstairs are the bedrooms."
There was something that felt right, about this house. Something that lingered in the air.
You catch the woman's cheer as you head back to the car. Giving the sales rep. your thanks and one last handshake.
“Yes, Ms. Louise, we will definitely keep in touch.”
It was the most nerve wracking decision you had ever made. Taking the leap and buying this house. With the economy being how it was now, and homes becoming more and more impossible to buy. You had stumbled upon a chance you weren’t sure if you were going to be able to come across again.
You had moved as much of your personal life as you could. Only finally getting the help from movers once it was clear you were not going to be able to cart a few large choice pieces of furniture on your own.
“I’m doing great,” You leaned back on the couch, that sat in the middle of the sea of cardboard boxes, phone pressed to your ear. “Totally exhausted though, I tried to hurry up and move everything so I didn’t have to take too much time off of work. It’s a bit of a drive now, but the view is worth it. It’s so beautiful here.”
You laugh, a tired weary sound. “I keep wondering if I made the right choice, it’s a big house for one person— No, no! I’m not complaining, just fretting. I think I am going to start on dinner now though, talk with you later?”
You nodded, even though the loved one on the other side of the line couldn’t see you. Listening intently to the voice on the end of the phone.
“I will take care of myself, I promise. Okay. Love you. Bye.”
You threw your head back onto the cushioned armrest of the couch, tapping the red button on your cell phone and turning off it’s screen. You heaved a heavy sigh and glanced out at the sea of cardboard.
First step of moving in, done and done. Now all that is left is unpacking. The thought of unpacking so late at night was quickly rejected. The cushioned armrest was stationed to the couch via rounded metal pins, and you reached over to rub your thumb against the cool metal bumps while you stared out at the room. With enough oomph you pushed yourself to stand, picking your way out of the living room to reach the kitchen.
You stood in the cramped kitchen space. Staring blankly for a moment while you realized how much of an ordeal it would be to dig out pots and pans, on top of cooking.
". . . You know what. . . I think I'll just order take out tonight."
With a quick call to the closest pizza shop, you had pushed boxes off the small coffee table and set up a laptop computer while you waited for dinner.
Now, with the pizza sitting next to your computer, you sat cross legged on the couch. Balancing a plate on their thighs while you watch a movie. You had picked something from your old favorite collection. A black and white movie that you remember fondly from your childhood. A comedy movie starring Abbott and Costello that contained a number of the classical monsters being portrayed by their original actors.
Something had changed. Something or someone was here, in the house. Within the walls. A steady heartbeat with silent ghostly vibrations echoed through the beams and floorboards.
Mallory’s eyes snapped open, and he sat up quickly. The dreams about noises hadn’t been imaginary phantoms. The cars, the voices, things being shuffled, moved about, it had been real. Now the house was quieter, though, there was still noise. A static noise that lingered behind the voices in an old televised movie. With accents that haven’t been used in a long time.
“I know it, and you know it. But does Dracula know it?"
Underneath the sounds, was the beat. He slowly rubs at his temples, trying to soothe the ringing in his head. Like a mosquito that hummed right beside your ear, the sound was impossible to ignore.
Th-thud
Th-thud
The attic stairs creaking faintly under his shoes as he descends, grimacing at the noise. From the attic stairs he moves to the window, peers down at the dark lawn below.
An uncomfortable feeling settling into his stomach, as the for sale sign was gone. Now there was a car parked in the driveway, and someone unknown downstairs. For twenty years no one had held even the remotest interest on the house atop the hill. But alas, it had been wishful thinking to believe that it would last forever.
He hesitates about what to do. An unsteady hand tinkering with the necklace around his collarbone before he gingerly steps out of the guest room. One glance. Just one. It has been a while since he had come face to face with a living being. Once satisfied he could formulate a plan from there. He moved on the stairs gingerly, hovering in the entryway where the kitchen split into the kitchen and living room.
And there they were, sitting and watching a movie. A blanket curling around their shoulders. A tired but amused expression played upon their lips, as they watched a short bumbling figure almost collide with the tall imposing figure of Bella Lugosi.
The back of his chilly hand presses against his lips as he backs away from the scene.
Then the person watching the movie shifts, their head turns, looking up, their eyes widening as Mallory moves out of sight.

Staycation: Spooky Edition
Tumblr media
A very very late Kinktober piece. Rafael x f Reader (established relationship). WC: 5Kish. CW: this got away from me - there is some very rough sex, some dom/sub dynamics, language, impact play (being smacked and spanked), some degradation talk, oral (m receiving).
AN: big thanks to @beccabarba for help & encouragement.
The wind howled fiercely and the sky was an eerie green, a sign of an impending storm. You pulled over and put your car into park. You got out of the car and covered your eyes with your hand as you gazed upon the house ahead of you. It was massive, almost looming before you.
The house was advertised as Victorian and it certainly was, with its red brick, steeply pitched roof, gables and round towers and turrets to draw the eye upward. There was a wraparound porch likely intended to give the home a cozier feel, but overall the house gave off a sinister vibe. It was as if the house watched you back.
Your phone pinged and you were quick to check who it was. It was your boyfriend and he was on his way by train and would meet you later that evening at the house.
You quickly texted him back before grabbing your luggage and making your way up the winding path to the house that would be your home for the weekend.
Your boyfriend was one of the top prosecutors in all of Manhattan. Getting time off was rare but this weekend had been locked away months ago. Rather than spend time at a quaint B&B on the beach, you both decided to make the most of upstate New York in the fall with the ever changing colorful leaves and crisp air. You had found the house on AirBnB and it seemed to be a much more appropriate choice.
You knew from a message from the owner, there was a key under a rock. Sure enough you found the key and unlocked the door. The door was heavy, and opened with a creak. The interior design was ornate and eccentric. On the entryway table was a thick binder with the word ‘welcome’ plastered on it. There was a grand staircase and high ceilings. The house was furnished with hardwood floors, dark wood furniture and decorative wallpaper, multiple fireplaces, a formal dining room, a parlor and even a library.
You settled in quickly, spending the majority of the time poring through the thick binder, which gave a detailed history of the home. You also learned that the home was accompanied with a tragic love story –
In 1837, a man of considerable wealth by the name of William Axtell had this home built for his fiancee. His fiancee was educated, graceful and beautiful, but she was not the one Axtell loved — alas, he was in love with her sister, Alva. He simply couldn’t bear to be without her, and so he did what any man would do: built a secret chamber in his house and hid her away in there. Only one other person knew about Alva: a maid who took care of her and brought her food. Alva would wait all day until William could slip away, and then he’d visit her upstairs in their secret sex chamber. One day, when William was away on an extended business trip, the maid died. There was no one to bring Alva food or drink, and so she starved to death. Let that be a lesson to you if you’ve secreted an illicit love away in a clandestine sex chamber: have some kind of food distribution buddy system in place. You know, like how you don’t go swimming alone.
There was a blueprint of the home which notated where the secret chamber was and pictures of William, his fiancee and Alva.
As you traced the photos, a chill went up your spine. While you didn’t believe in the paranormal, you weren’t completely dismissive of the chill. You warily closed the binder. In that moment, your phone began to buzz causing you to jump. It was Rafael again. You saw the curtain of the window move and realized your chill must have just been the wind from outside. You let out a small laugh at yourself for getting worked up over nothing.
After speaking with Rafael, you finished unpacking before going to the neighboring town for groceries. You had planned on making a romantic dinner for when Rafael arrived. You loaded up on groceries and bottles of wine and made small talk with the cashier as you were rung up.
By the time you got back, Rafael had already arrived. He had settled in as well, having changed from his suit (as he had court that morning) into dark blue jeans, a maroon marled knit sweater. His hair had grayed considerably and was slicked back in a perfect coif. He had grown out his beard a bit, but it was still neat. His cologne was a combination that was equal parts earthy, peppery and citrusy.
“You made it!” You exclaimed as you walked in. Rafael pressed a kiss to your lips and then offered his hands to take the groceries from you.
“This place is incredible,” Rafael replied as he followed you through the house. You nodded excitedly.
“Right? It’s beautiful and there are so many rooms and halls to get lost in. I definitely want to check out the library. Though, when I first arrived, it gave me —“
“A spooky vibe?” Rafael interjected. He rummaged for a wine opener, winking when he found one. You reached for the wine glasses and quickly rinsed and dried them. Rafael set the opened wine aside to let it breathe.
Rafael wrapped his arms around your waist. “Yeah, I got the same vibe. You’re not scared are you?”
You ran your fingertips under the hem of Rafael’s sweater, letting out a little hum as his muscles twitched beneath your touch. Rafael pulled you even closer, lifting your chin with the crook of his index finger. His green eyes twinkled and you felt yourself grow warm. “Not at all. I’ve got my big strong boyfriend from the Bronx to keep me safe.”
It had started to rain.
Raindrops pelted hard and the exterior board and batten shutters swung wildly, pounding against the house. You and Rafael ran around the house shutting them and making certain the doors were bolted.
The two of you settled in the living room, sitting in front of the fireplace. The fire crackled and popped. Rafael between your legs and leaned back against you. He turned the page of his worn copy of Jekyll and Hyde, and continued to read out loud. You closed your eyes, letting the timbre of his voice envelope you as you played with his hair, massaging his scalp in process.
Suddenly everything went dark.
"Guess it was bound to happen sooner or later," Rafael remarked. Carefully you both stood and you each turned on the flashlights on your cell phones to look around.
You looked at Rafael. “The binder said that the fuse box was downstairs in the basement.”
Rafael sighed. “I guess I’ll be going down to the basement.”
“I’ll go,” you volunteered. “Stay up here and text me if the lights come back on.”
All Rafael could hear was the sound of the storm pushing through. He tried to check on the duration of the storm but his phone was loading slowly.
There was a flicker and then the lights came back on. Rafael sighed in relief and texted you that the lights were back. He anticipated the sound of your footsteps bounding up the stairs but nothing came.
Rafael waited a few more minutes, ignoring the knot of worry that was beginning to brew. He texted you once more and called your name.
Again nothing.
Fear pricked at Rafael. It wasn’t like you to not be responsive. He made his way down the basement, his heart thudding in his chest and his palms beginning to sweat. He called for you but was answered in silence. He crept quietly, but the floor still creaked with every step. His pulse pounded in his ears.
Rafael had been a prosecutor for far too long. His mind was racing in all the ways you could have been possibly kidnapped or murdered. He was all set to call Olivia when something caught his eye.
At the end of the hall, a bookcase was turned vertically, revealing a partially opened door. Rafael walked toward it, even though all his horror movie training screamed at him to not to. He called your name once more as he fully opened the door.
The oxblood-hued room was packed with recherché items that wouldn't look out of place in a grand gentlemen's club, including a posh Chesterfield chair, vintage ship model and antique carriage clock. There was a plush bed with bedding that could be described as sumptuous.
Rafael recalled the story of William and Alva that you told him over dinner. It dawned on him that this room was the secret chamber. He walked in cautiously and carefully, scanning the room. There was a knot in his stomach, and he felt tense all over.
He had the sense he was not the only one in the room. When he turned around, he was met with you shouting “Boo!” in his face.
Rafael let out a shout, nearly jumping out of his skin. “Jesus Christ!”
You began to laugh. “I’m sorry but that was just too easy. I couldn’t help it.” You continued to laugh, so much so that you had to double over.
Rafael gave you an incredulous look. “Ha ha, really fucking funny.”
You stood up, still chuckling a bit and wiped your eyes. “Oh come on! It was just a joke! You have to admit that I got you good.”
Rafael glowered at you and took a step closer towards you. “You know, I don't like practical jokes.”
You smirked and cocked your brow, challenging. “And what are you going to do about it?”
Rafael reached for you and pulled you close to him where you were practically chest to chest. Your palms were on his chest and you could feel his heart thundering rapidly. He gripped your chin with his index and thumb. “You’ll see.”
You saw the change in his expression to something more lustful and predatory, the sensual look in his eye sending a jolt of hot anticipation through you.
You jerked your chin from his grip but barely had a chance to look away as he gripped your cheeks, squeezing but not too tightly.
“Look at me when I’m talking to you. Do I look like I am playing a fucking game?” Rafael all but growled, his green eyes burning with desire. You shook your head in response. Your pulse began to quicken and arousal stoked your core. “For the rest of the time we are here, you will answer me as sir.”
“Yes.”
His gaze darkened as he ran his fingers softly along your jawline, holding your chin so your eyes met his. When his fingers flattened out against your cheek, you had an inkling as to what was coming. Still, when the sharp smack landed against your skin, you jumped slightly. The sting bloomed into heat. Rafael knew what that did to you, and you didn't miss his little smirk as he did it again, slightly harder, pricking your skin, watching your reaction. He put a fingertip beneath your chin.
“What did you say?” Rafael prodded, his brow cocked.
“Yes sir.” You breathed.
“Good girl,” Rafael murmured. He then kissed you hard, all teeth and tongue. His hand was tight in your hair, pulling your head back so he could kiss and suck along your neck. His teeth grazed sharply against your skin, causing you to groan in response to the pricks of pain. A dark mark bloomed easily and he ran his tongue over it, soothing the area. He again nipped up your jawline before kissing you once more, the kiss more soft than before, but still full of passion. His tongue licked hotly in your mouth. You could feel his cock, hard against your body. Your were certain you were already dripping and your nerves were buzzing, erotically charged.
“Strip. And get on the bed,” Rafael all but growled.
You looked at the bed and then around the room. You also were certain that the room was haunted as fuck, but you did not want to bring it up lest it change the mood.
“Did I fucking stutter?” Rafael snapped, bringing your focus back to him.
“No sir!” You yanked your shirt off and then sat on the bed to remove your shoes. This was then followed by your pants and undergarments. You laid prostrate on the bed, eagerly anticipating Rafael’s next move.
Rafael stood at the foot of the bed and placed his hands on his hips, his green eyes narrowing at you a little as took in the sight of your naked form. He began to undress himself. Buttons were undone nimbly and quickly, followed by his shoes and remainder of his clothes. He jacked himself languidly, casually spitting into his palm.
The bed creaked under his weight and you felt him move behind you. His large hands ghosted your skin, feeling the knobs of your spine. When he got to your ass, he squeezed your flesh, before laying a hard spank on your ass. You let out a small moan, which garnered another spank, this time harder than before. Rafael sat on his haunches, spreading your ass cheeks apart. Nothing major had even happened yet and he already knew you were dripping.
Rafael sucked on two of his fingers, using his own saliva to lubricate them. The tips of his fingers ghosted over your puckered rosebud before shoving his fingers inside of you. Your startled gasp turned into a breathy moan as he coated them in your wetness before pulling them out to spread it over your pussy, and then shoving them back in, fingering you roughly. His other hand landed sharply on your ass giving you another spank.
“A mess,” Rafael growled. “I can fucking smell how needy you are.” The pace of his fingers increase and the wet sounds of your arousal are evident in the quiet room. “Tonight is about me. Your one job is to make me happy.”
“Yes sir,” you gasped in reply, your hips moving in their own accord to match the thrust of his hand.
“You’re going to pay for your stunt. You’re not going to come until I tell you to. Me entiendes?”
You were completely lost in your pleasure and his words didn’t register. When you failed to respond, he abruptly removed his fingers, causing you to cry out at the empty feeling.
Two more spanks. The skin of your ass was hot and you wondered if Rafael could see the outline of his hand. Rafael grabbed your ass cheeks and spread you apart once more. You felt his stubble, pricking your skin and then you felt the prick of his teeth once more as he bit you - first one then the other, then repeating in a pattern. The bites are followed by additional spanks. It was unrelenting, the sting of the bites and spanks caused your toes to curl. And then it was over and you felt Rafael’s tongue on your skin licking soothingly. His mouth hovered over your pussy, his breath hot. You pushed back, desperate for more.
Rafael smacked your ass once more. “No sweetheart. Your job is to make me feel good tonight. And maybe, just maybe, if you’re good enough, I will let you come.”
You nodded and Rafael’s eyes narrowed.
“Use your words,” he commanded.
“Yes, sir. Going to make you feel good,” you whimpered. Rafael smirked and nudged you to roll over. He wrapped his arm around you, and pulled you flush against him. You could feel his cock on the small of your back, hard and leaking.
His other hand smoothed up your thigh, encouraging it apart from the other one as he reached your pussy and traced his fingers through your folds. He stopped as he pressed down on your clit and drew his hand back to deliver a short, hard spank to the swelling bundle of nerves. You squealed, body jolting at the sudden impact.
“Fuck,” you muttered, biting down on your bottom lip. Rafael’s face disappeared into the crook of your neck, sucking and kissing your skin while one hand grabbed your tit, tugging and twisting your nipple. You let out a small moan in response. His other hand headed back down to your opening, fingers inside of you, pumping. You groaned, your nails digging into the meat of his thighs.
“I want to cum, sir, please,” you begged desperately.
“No,” Rafael replied sternly. “Hold it.”
“Please, please, I’ll be a good girl,” you begged again. A sharp spank landed on your pussy and you squealed.
“What did I tell you about begging me?” he growled. You felt the pad of his thumb tease your clit. “So fucking wet. I bet I could just slide my cock in and make that tight pussy take it. You’d take it, right?”
“Yes,” you hissed, your eyes screwing shut.
You felt your orgasm bubble up in your gut and you tried to ignore it but it was futile. Rafael felt you tense and he removed his fingers from you and slapped your pussy sharply once more. You let out a whimper in response.
You turned to Rafael and leaned down to kiss him. The kiss was sloppy, open mouthed, his tongue licking hotly into your mouth. You pulled away briefly and grabbed his hand to suck his finger, imitating what you wanted to do.
“Want to suck my cock?” Rafael asked. His breathing was already labored, intent on making the evening last but he was already overworked. He knew once he fucked you, it wouldn’t be long.
You nodded, humming in agreement.
“Ask me to let you.”
“Yes sir. Can I taste your cock sir?” Your eyes met his. A delicious smirk curled on his plump lips and lit up his entire face. His green eyes sparkled with mischief.
Rafael nodded and spread his legs wider to make room for you. As you positioned yourself, he gripped himself at the base. You looked up at him and he tapped his cock against your mouth. “Open.”
You follow his command and open your mouth to take his cock. He’s cut. It’s a nice fleshy pink color, but the head is a couple shades darker; when you’ve been edging him, it darkens to almost purple. There are a few visible veins, and an especially thick one that runs along the underside.
Saliva gathered in your mouth at the sight of his heavy cock. A thick line of pre-cum dripped out of his slit, dripping down until it slowed at the base. Your hand ghosted over the patch of dark curls there, sending a shiver up Rafael’s spine.
You wrapped your mouth around the head of his cock, enveloping it in your warm, wet heat. You sucked, pulling the salty liquid from him and onto your awaiting tongue, letting out a small hum. You pulled off briefly and then opened your mouth wider so you could take more of him.
Rafael petted your hair softly, enjoying watching you take his cock inch by inch, until the head of his cock hit the back of your throat. You gagged slightly, and then pulled off to catch your breath.
“Let me change position,” Rafael commented. You remained in place as he climbed off the bed and stood. He beckoned you with a finger and you quickly scrambled over. You looked up at him, batting your eyes. He tapped his cock on your lips and you opened widely.
“Relax sweetheart, open your throat,” Rafael ordered as he began to feed his cock into your mouth. You closed your eyes, breathing deeply through your nose. His hands wove into your hair and he pulled your head forward as he snapped his hips, shoving the remainder of his thick cock into your mouth and throat. His hands were firm in your hair, keeping you in place. Your eyes began to water and saliva pooled from the corners of your mouth. He withdrew and repeated again and again, holding your willing mouth flush against him, your nose buried in his salt and pepper curls.
Finally, he relented and began to thrust into your mouth, a brutal pace abusing your throat with his thick length. Tears streamed down your face, and your eye makeup was smeared. Any gloss that might have remained on your lips was now gone.
“You take my cock so well,” Rafael praised. He pushed you a bit further, your jaw ached and throbbed. “Such a dirty girl with my cock in your throat. Do you like having my cock in your throat?”
You let out a muffled response and Rafael pulled you off of him, by your hair. The pain ebbed into a tingle of pleasure.
“What was that? I couldn’t hear you.”
He watched in fascination the spit string that connected your lips to his cock pull thin before finally breaking.
He gripped your chin hard, smushing your lips together. He slapped you once more. “Answer me.”
Your cunt clenched in response to the sting.
“Yes sir, I love your cock in my mouth,” you croaked. Rafael laughed and shoved your head back onto his cock. His hands were on the sides of your head, moving your head over his cock, his hips meeting the movements. He growled as he fucked your face, testing the limits your throat could handle. But you knelt there, mouth open wide as another wave of tears streamed down your face, moaning as he pushed you past the limits of comfort, ruining you. You could feel your juices slick on your thighs and there was a growing ache in between your legs that so desperately wanted to be touched. And while your throat was sore and your jaw ached, you loved it when Rafael used you as he pleased.
“Good girl, take that cock,” Rafael grunted. He bent forward, leaning over your body so he could slip his fingers back into your pussy. Because of the position, you began to bob on his cock, using a hand for assistance. The only sounds in the room were his grunts and groans, mixed with your muffled moans and whines.
“I’m going to cum if we keep this up” Rafael groaned and he withdrew from your mouth and pussy. You watched him as he sucked his fingers clean of your pussy juice. He let out a hum of satisfaction. Your eyes went down to his cock, it stuck out with a slight curve. Cum leaked easily now.
Rafael watched you and he smirked. “Is there something you want?”
“Yes sir.” You replied. Without prompting, you elaborated. “I want your cock sir.”
“I didn’t hear you say please.”
“Please sir.”
“Turn around,” Rafael commanded. You acquiesced to his request, turning around so you were on all fours.
Rafael wasted no time. The bed dipped with his weight and spread your cheeks once more. “Look at that pretty pussy. And it’s mine.”
He thrusted in himself inside of you, burying himself to the hilt. His pelvis was snug against the curve of your ass. He waited a minute, letting you adjust. He saw you nod and he began to move. He started slowly at first but steadily picked up speed. His balls are hefty and you can feel the weight of them slap against your pussy. He held on to your hips steadily, driving your ass lower into the bed until your legs buckled and you landed on the bed, ass up, torso down, face into the mattress.
The pace was brutal as he fucked you hard and deep. His fingers dug into your hips and you’re certain that there will be bruises once done. You felt every ridge of his cock against your walls with each harsh thrust and you needed more of it. You heard yourself - don’t stop, fuck me harder, give it to me - but it all sounded slurred to you.
There are a series of spanks to your ass in response.
Rafael’s legs were now framing your thighs, pounding down into you. You gripped the bedspread and cried out his name every time his cock pistoned into you again.
Suddenly you were aware that your arms were being pulled behind you. Rafael held your arms together, handcuff style, as he continued, giving you exactly what you wanted - what you both so desperately wanted. He’s also chasing his release, but he will give you what you want.
You bit down on your bottom lip as he took you closer and closer to the edge. Your clit throbbed, aching, needing to be touched.
“Fuck, you’re so tight, so fucking perfect,” Rafael grunted. Sweat dripped down his body and onto yours as he kept his pace. “I bet you wanna come.”
A stream of yes, yes, yes, left your mouth.
Rafael slowed his pace and you whined in protest. “Don’t stop, please. Sir, please.”
“Thank me for fucking you. And maybe I will let you come.”
You nodded frantically. “Your cock feels so good! Yes, yes! Thank you for fucking me sir!”
“Atta girl, now you get it. Whose pussy is this?”
“Yours sir!” You cried out.
Rafael released one of your arms. “Go ahead, come.”
You frantically reach below to your clit and your fingers slip due to the mix of your and Rafael’s wet mess. You find your clit and rubbed in haphazard circles, chasing the sweet relief of orgasm. It doesn’t take long and before you realize it, you are coming hard, Rafael’s name escaping from your lips. It had never been this intense before, as if one orgasm rolled into the other. Rafael groaned as you squirted, your juices releasing all over his cock. He inwardly beamed - you hadn’t ever done that before.
“Yes,” Rafael hissed. “Coat that cock, cover it all up.”
You slumped forward, unable to hold yourself up. You are lost in your own haze, unaware that Rafael hadn’t come yet. You let out a yelp as Rafael pulled you upward, thrusting back into you. The pace is somehow even harder than before as you hear the sound of skin slapping on skin.
Rafael is growling and grunting. “You think just because you fucking came, that it means get to be fucking lazy on me?”
“No sir,” you cried out. The ache that had dissipated started to grow again. “Fuck me sir. Use me!”
Rafael’s teeth gnashed together as his release approached. A deep rumble emanated from his chest and you had been intimate with him long enough to know that he was about to come.
He grunted, pumping faster, and then his hips jerked, stuttering in their rhythm, and he came, hard. Ropes of thick white creamy come filled you. “Fuck, fuck, oh my god, fuck!” He shuddered as he finished coming. He stayed there before withdrawing, his cock softening. You felt some of his come dribble out.
You both flopped onto your backs, bodies covered in sweat and heaving, trying to catch your breath.
Rafael shifted and he loomed over you. You furrowed your brows at first but then your mouth formed an ‘O’ as he pushed up your legs. He used his fingers to spread your lips and watched as his release dripped out of you. He scooped up some and spread it along your belly, as if he was marking his territory.
He reached back down to your pussy and scooped some more of his release. He then spread it on your clit, and began to rub you once more.
“I know you can do it again.” Rafael slid two fingers inside of you, curling them.
Your legs trembled as you felt yet another orgasm begin to build. You can almost feel Rafael’s smile against you as he jackhammered his fingers inside of you, fucking his come back into you.
“Come on, one more sweetheart.” His words were your undoing and your hips jerk. He lifted his head and you looked at him with wide eyes. “Give it to me.” He began rubbing your clit roughly and horizontally rapidly. You arched your back sharply, and wailed as you came again. Sound went fuzzy and you squeezed your eyes tightly. Rafael just kept his mouth open by your cunt, collecting your cum in his mouth as you squirted once more.
You collapsed against the bed as you came down back to reality. Rafael covered his body with yours and pressed a kiss to your mouth, sharing your come with you. The kiss was wet and messy but soft, dare say gentle.
“How was that?” Rafael questioned, his eyes searching yours. “Are you okay?”
You hummed ame gave him a smile. “Oh yeah. That was perfect.”
Rafael eventually peeled his sweaty body off of you. You snuggled into his chest, basking in his warmth.
All of a sudden, the lights flickered and the room was plunged into darkness. It was followed by a sound that could only be described as non human. You yelped and then the lights flicked back on.
You and Rafael looked at eachother, eyes wide, both of you clearly spooked. “Let's get out of here!”
Rafael nodded and you both scrambled, grabbing your clothes before peeling out of the room and heading back up stairs.
When you both got back to the main floor, you were both laughing hard as you redressed. “Jesus, Joseph and Mary!” You cried out. “What the hell was that?”
Rafael shook his head and rubbed his face. “Let's not go back down there.”
You nodded. “But what you did down there - that you can do again.”
Rafael gave you a wicked smile, his eyes lighting up in response.
“But first can we find someplace else to stay?” You questioned, your tone hopeful.
Rafael nodded, finding his phone. “Already on it.”
FIN.

Whether you're renovating a Victorian-style home, adding character to a modern space, or simply love the look of vintage tiles, Hyperion Tiles offers an exquisite range of Victorian floor tiles that blend tradition with modern durability.
 Why Choose Victorian Floor Tiles?
Victorian floor tiles have stood the test of time, and their popularity remains high today. These tiles were originally designed for both beauty and functionality, often found in grand hallways, parlors, kitchens, and bathrooms. Their enduring appeal lies in the intricate patterns, durable materials, and rich historical context that add character and luxury to any room.
In modern homes, Victorian floor tiles are used to evoke a sense of grandeur while maintaining a sense of timeless elegance. Their versatility means they can be used in various interior settings, whether you're restoring an older home or introducing a vintage feel into a contemporary space.
 Types of Victorian Floor Tiles Available at Hyperion Tiles
Hyperion Tiles offers a stunning selection of Victorian floor tiles, ranging from classic geometric designs to intricate floral patterns. Here are some of the most popular types of Victorian tiles you’ll find in their collection:
 1. Patterned Victorian Floor Tiles
The hallmark of Victorian floor tiles is their detailed, repeating patterns. From bold, contrasting geometric motifs to more delicate floral designs, these tiles create a striking visual appeal. Whether you prefer a traditional black-and-white checkerboard look or vibrant, multi-colored patterns, Hyperion Tiles offers a vast range of patterned Victorian floor tiles perfect for adding flair and sophistication to any space.
 2. Geometric Victorian Floor Tiles
Geometric patterns were central to Victorian tile design, with squares, diamonds, and triangles often arranged in intricate layouts. Geometric tiles are ideal for creating a symmetrical, visually pleasing floor design. Whether you choose a classic black and white combination for a vintage look or mix in shades of blue, green, or terracotta for a more modern interpretation, these tiles offer endless design possibilities.
 3. Encaustic Victorian Floor Tiles
Encaustic tiles are one of the most authentic forms of Victorian flooring. These tiles are made from different colored clays pressed together, creating embedded designs that are part of the tile itself, not just a surface glaze. This makes encaustic Victorian floor tiles extremely durable, with the pattern lasting for years to come. Hyperion Tiles offers a wide selection of encaustic-style Victorian floor tiles that bring a timeless, luxurious feel to your home.
 4. Mosaic Victorian Floor Tiles
For those who love a more intricate and artistic approach, Victorian mosaic floor tiles are an excellent choice. Made from small, individually cut tiles, mosaic designs can be arranged in various patterns, from floral motifs to more abstract geometric shapes. These tiles offer a fantastic way to incorporate color, texture, and visual interest into your floors. Ideal for hallways, entryways, and bathrooms, mosaic Victorian floor tiles are a statement of sophistication.
 5. Marble-Look Victorian Floor Tiles
For a more opulent look with the same Victorian charm, consider marble-effect tiles. These tiles replicate the timeless beauty of marble but come with the added durability and easy maintenance of ceramic or porcelain. Hyperion Tiles offers marble-look Victorian floor tiles that combine classic elegance with modern practicality.
 6. Victorian Subway Tiles
While traditionally used in walls, subway-style Victorian tiles have found a place in flooring as well. These rectangular tiles can be arranged in various patterns, such as herringbone, running bond, or basketweave. The clean lines and subtle color palette of subway tiles provide a minimalist yet stylish Victorian-inspired look, ideal for modern spaces.
 Key Benefits of Victorian Floor Tiles
- Timeless Aesthetic: Victorian floor tiles bring a timeless charm to any space, adding both sophistication and character that will never go out of style.

 5. Conservatories and Sunrooms
Bring the elegance of Victorian-style tiles into your sunroom or conservatory, where natural light and beautiful flooring come together. The intricate designs of Victorian tiles will complement the open, airy feel of these spaces.
 How to Incorporate Victorian Floor Tiles into Your Home Design
Here are a few design tips to make the most of your Victorian floor tiles:
- Pair with Neutral Walls: Victorian tiles can be bold, so balance them with neutral-colored walls and furniture to keep the space visually appealing and not overwhelming.
- Use as Accents: If you love the look of Victorian tiles but don’t want them throughout an entire room, consider using them as accents or borders. Create a small section in the center of the room or use them to frame a doorway.
- Mix Patterns Thoughtfully: If you’re using patterned Victorian floor tiles, consider pairing them with more simple, neutral tiles in other areas. This ensures the space doesn’t feel too busy, allowing the intricate patterns to shine.
- Bring in Vintage Furniture: To enhance the Victorian feel, complement your floor tiles with vintage-inspired furniture. Pieces like antique tables, classic chairs, and ornate mirrors will complement the historical charm of the tiles.

Embracing the Charm of Vintage Wicker Chairs: A Timeless Classic
Vintage wicker chairs are more than just furniture; they are a blend of history, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance. These intricately woven pieces have graced homes, gardens, and patios for over a century, making them a cherished addition to various settings. Today, as more people lean towards sustainable living and unique decor, vintage wicker chairs are enjoying a resurgence in popularity. Thanks to platforms like Bidsquare, finding these beautiful pieces has never been easier.
The Allure of Wicker Furniture
Wicker furniture has a rich history that dates back thousands of years. The term "wicker" refers to the weaving process rather than the material itself. Traditionally, wicker furniture has been made from natural materials such as rattan, cane, bamboo, and willow. These materials are woven together to create lightweight yet sturdy pieces that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
During the Victorian era, wicker furniture became particularly popular, with intricate designs symbolizing elegance and refinement. Wicker chairs were a staple in sunrooms, patios, and even parlors, thanks to their versatility and durability. Their light, airy design made them a perfect fit for both indoor and outdoor spaces.
What sets vintage wicker chairs apart is the craftsmanship involved in their creation. Unlike modern, mass-produced furniture, vintage wicker pieces were often handmade by skilled artisans. Each chair reflects the time and effort invested in its construction, resulting in a piece of furniture that is unique and built to last.
Tumblr media
Why Vintage Wicker Chairs are Making a Comeback
In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards sustainable and eco-friendly living. This shift in consumer values has contributed to the resurgence of vintage furniture, including wicker chairs. These pieces are not only beautiful but also environmentally conscious. By choosing vintage wicker chairs, you’re giving new life to an existing piece, reducing the demand for new resources, and minimizing waste.
Another reason for their comeback is their versatility. Vintage wicker chairs can seamlessly blend with various decor styles, from bohemian and coastal to mid-century modern and traditional. Their natural texture and organic lines add warmth and character to any space. Whether placed in a sunroom, on a patio, or as a statement piece in a living room, vintage wicker chairs bring a sense of nostalgia and charm.
The accessibility of platforms like Bidsquare has made it easier than ever to find high-quality vintage wicker chairs. Bidsquare connects buyers with trusted auction houses, offering a wide range of antique and vintage furniture, including wicker chairs. This platform has opened up new opportunities for collectors and decorators to discover unique pieces that were once harder to find.
Incorporating Vintage Wicker Chairs into Your Home
Vintage wicker chairs are incredibly adaptable, making them a perfect addition to various spaces within your home. Here are some ideas on how to incorporate these timeless pieces:
Outdoor Spaces: Wicker chairs are a natural fit for outdoor areas like patios, gardens, and balconies. Their lightweight design makes them easy to move, and their durability ensures they can withstand outdoor conditions. Pair them with cushions or throws to create a cozy and inviting space.
Sunrooms and Conservatories: Wicker furniture has long been associated with sunrooms, where natural light can enhance the beauty of the woven designs. A vintage wicker chair in a sunroom adds a touch of elegance and provides a comfortable spot to relax.
Living Rooms: In a living room, a vintage wicker chair can serve as an accent piece or even a focal point. Its unique texture contrasts beautifully with upholstered furniture, adding depth and interest to the space.
Bohemian Interiors: For those who love bohemian decor, vintage wicker chairs are a must-have. Their natural, organic look pairs perfectly with eclectic textiles, vibrant colors, and a mix of patterns. Use them alongside macramé, plants, and colorful rugs to create a laid-back, artistic vibe.
Dining Areas: Wicker chairs can also be used in dining areas, especially if you’re aiming for a relaxed, coastal-inspired look. Mix and match them with other dining chairs to create an eclectic, personalized setting.
Caring for Your Vintage Wicker Chair
To ensure your vintage wicker chair stands the test of time, proper care is essential. Here are some tips for maintaining these delicate yet durable pieces:
Keep Them Dry: While wicker furniture is sturdy, prolonged exposure to moisture can weaken the fibers. If using your wicker chairs outdoors, ensure they are in a covered area or bring them indoors during rainy weather.
Regular Cleaning: Dust and dirt can accumulate in the woven crevices of wicker chairs. Use a soft brush or vacuum with a brush attachment to clean them regularly. For more thorough cleaning, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used, but avoid soaking the chair.
Protect from Sunlight: Direct sunlight can cause the natural materials of wicker to fade and become brittle over time. If your chairs are in a sunny spot, consider using cushions or rotating them periodically to prevent uneven wear.
Repairing Wicker: If you notice any damage or loose weaves, address it promptly. Minor repairs can often be done at home, but for more significant damage, consult a professional wicker repair specialist.
Finding Vintage Wicker Chairs on Bidsquare
Bidsquare is an excellent resource for finding vintage wicker chairs. The platform hosts auctions from reputable auction houses, offering a wide selection of antique and vintage furniture. Whether you’re looking for a Victorian-era wicker chair or a mid-century modern piece, Bidsquare provides access to unique and rare finds.
To start your search, browse the "Furniture" category on Bidsquare and filter by "Wicker" or "Vintage." You can also set up alerts for specific types of wicker chairs, ensuring you’re notified when new items are listed. With Bidsquare's user-friendly interface and reliable auction houses, finding your dream vintage wicker chair has never been easier.
Conclusion
Vintage wicker chairs are more than just functional pieces; they are works of art that bring history, character, and charm to any space. Their timeless appeal and sustainable nature make them a valuable addition to any home. Thanks to platforms like Bidsquare, discovering and acquiring these beautiful pieces is easier than ever. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just starting to explore the world of vintage furniture, a wicker chair is a purchase that will bring joy and elegance for years to come.

Hôtel Swexan
Tumblr media
The Best Bathrooms in Texas Are Hidden Inside This Dallas Hotel
On the twentieth floor of Hôtel Swexan, a few steps from an infinity pool overlooking downtown Dallas, stands a hand-hewn wood door.
Behind it is a powder room that’s barely bigger than a broom closet but brimming with style.
Tiny, multicolor tiles cover the walls and a Moorish mirror hangs above the real showstopper: an engraved antique brass pedestal sink imported from Morocco.
This pool bathroom is the smallest of 24 restrooms (not counting the in-room bathrooms) that visitors can experience at Hôtel Swexan.
The 134-room boutique property opened last summer and belongs to Harwood International, a family-operated, Dallas-based development group that owns the 19-block Hardwood District.
The family favored one-of-a-kind designs, resulting in more than a hundred different marbles, a hundred different stones, and a hundred different paint colors used throughout.
The name Swexan is a play on the founders’ heritage—Gabriel Barbier-Mueller is Swiss; his wife Ann is a Texan.
Still, it’s hard to isolate the hotel’s style to a specific region.
“When designing the hotel, we looked at all of the places that the family travels,” says Melinda Clark, Harwood International’s director of interior design.
“We wanted it to feel as if you’ve traveled across the globe, and you’ve collected things on your journey—artwork, accessories, photography—and then you’ve come back and accessorized it like you would your own home.”
Clark guides me through the lobby, where a barrel-vaulted ceiling and hand-painted wallpaper give off Parisian vibes.
The attached martini bar, Isabelle’s, is one part chic sidewalk cafe with a sizable terrace and one part moody parlor with velvet seating and a fireplace that stays lit year-round.
One level down is Babou’s, a Salvador Dalí-inspired speakeasy named in honor of the Spanish artist’s pet ocelot.
To get to the speakeasy from the street, you enter through the Library, a two-story lounge with a ladder that boasts antique books and Japanese artifacts from the nearby Ann and Gabriel Barbier-Mueller Museum, more commonly known as the Samurai Collection.
There’s no shortage of luxe or worldly eye candy, but it’s the bathrooms that I can’t stop thinking about.
“The variety of powder rooms are a huge conversation piece and people love to take selfies in them,” Clark says.
“We’ve had celebs, influencers, and guests all rave about the beautiful selections.”
Whether it’s in a hotel, a restaurant, or your own home, Clark is big on personality in powder rooms.
“A powder room is where you can express yourself—it should be a representation of who you are or what you want to be,” she says.
“People may or may not remember every detail about your house, but they will remember your bathroom.”
To match the animal-print carpet and tufted couches at Babou’s, Clark and her team outfitted the bar’s three gender-neutral bathrooms with doors upholstered in red faux leather for a “theatrical” effect.
Each bathroom has black and white penny tile and a saying embedded into the floor: “good luck,” “you look good,” and “not you.”
The phrases are purposefully ambiguous to spark conversation.
“There’s a cohesiveness, but we wanted each person to have a different experience—maybe it’s different artwork or a different tile treatment,” Clark says, “Something that feels like their own surprise.” Babou’s restroom
Of course, there’s a practical aspect to designing for high-traffic areas, too.
On the ballroom level, where corporate retreats and weddings are held, the design team marries form and function.
The women’s restroom is akin to a high-end dressing room with floor-length mirrors and marble walls.
A crystal chandelier and hand-blown glass sconces in the shape of flowers provide soft lighting.
Tucked under the pink onyx stone countertops are vintage-inspired lucite chairs, so the sink area doubles as a vanity for reapplying makeup.
For the men’s restroom, Clark kept things more monochromatic:
“It’s black and white—kind of tuxedo style.”
My last stop is Stillwell’s, the hotel’s mid-century modern steakhouse.
Next to a crescent-shaped bar, a 1960s TV has been gutted and turned into a liquor cabinet.
It feels like an old-school Italian spot, only with clear nods to Texas:
a single yellow rose on every table and cowboy hats flanking yet another fireplace.
After a round of drinks, I make my way to the restroom, where I’m greeted with a smorgasbord of retro shapes.
Dark green square tiles superimposed with a triangle motif bring a moodiness to the space, though the light of a two-tiered circular sconce bounces off a hexagonal wood mirror.
To be fair, Hôtel Swexan isn’t the first place to make bathrooms a moment.
Tumblr media
(In 2022, Texan Priya Krishna reported on the growing trend for The New York Times in an article titled, “The Most Exciting Part of Dining Out Is. . . the Bathroom?”)
But the Dallas hotel is the first hospitality venue I’ve seen do it on such a large scale, devoting equal attention to both the bathrooms that are open to the public and those only accessible to overnight guests.
The hotel is also upending the usual approach to a larger guest room and a smaller bathroom.
“We made sure the bedrooms are a nice size, but instead of a big sofa or sitting area, we opted to give 50% of the room to the bathroom where people are spending a lot of time getting ready,” Clark says.
Dual vanities and soaking tubs come standard in many rooms.
One walk-in shower I saw was nearly the size of some New York City apartments.
And then there are the eight suites designed around a different geographic location (I’m partial to the visual effect created by the marble tiles that appear to cascade down the wall and onto the floor in the Moroccan-inspired Imperial Suite).
Of course, these suites may be out of the budget for most travelers (on a September weekend, for example, the Imperial costs $2,444 per night). Still, that hasn’t stopped me from mining the website for my personal Pinterest board.
Some bathrooms did elude me, like the almost-mythical gold bathroom inside the hotel’s exclusive members-only club.
“We have a gold toilet, gold faucet, gold wall covering, gold tile, gold ceiling, and gold chandelier. The men’s restroom even has urinals that resemble French horns,” Clark says.
“Not everybody gets to see it, but it is a very memorable moment.”
Even if you’re not one of the lucky few to see inside, the hotel has all but ensured you’ll always pee like royalty.

How Architectural Wallpapers Can Change Your Space
When it comes to interior design, the power of a well-chosen wallpaper can transform an ordinary room into a masterpiece of personal expression and style. Among the myriad options available, architectural wallpapers stand out for their ability to bring the grandeur and beauty of iconic structures into our homes. Whether you're a lover of modern skyscrapers or the intricate details of vintage buildings, architecture wallpaper offers an immediate and impactful way to enhance your living space.
Tumblr media
The Allure of Architecture in Design
Architecture wallpaper encompasses a range of designs that reflect the aesthetic elements of real-world buildings — from the ornate flourishes of Baroque palaces to the sleek, angular lines of contemporary architecture. This type of wallpaper can be a focal point in a room, adding depth, interest, and personality. For those who appreciate design and architecture, these wallpapers are more than just background decor; they are a statement of appreciation for the art of building design.
Custom Architecture Wallpaper: Tailoring Dreams to Reality
The beauty of custom architectural wallpaper lies in its ability to meet specific aesthetic needs. Imagine a wallpaper that features the skyline of your favorite city or a historic building you admire. Custom options allow homeowners to bring these visions to life, tailored to fit perfectly within their space's dimensions and colour scheme. This personalized approach ensures that each room can reflect a unique aspect of architectural art that resonates personally with the homeowner.
Tumblr media
Removable Architecture Wallpaper: Flexibility and Ease
Removable architecture wallpaper is a game-changer for those who love to update their home's look regularly or are decorating a rental space. This type of wallpaper offers the beauty and sophistication of architectural designs without the permanence of traditional wallpapers. Whether you opt for architecture peel and stick wallpaper or other removable types, these products provide a commitment-free solution that can be easily changed when ready for a new look.
Peel and Stick: Simplifying Installation
The introduction of architecture peel and stick wallpaper has revolutionized the wallpaper industry. This hassle-free option requires no paste or water and can be repositioned during installation, making it an excellent choice for DIY enthusiasts. It eliminates the mess associated with traditional wallpaper applications and makes it easy to achieve a professional-looking finish without permanent alterations to the walls.
Tumblr media
Expanding Horizons with Architecture Wallpaper Murals
For those who want to make a bold statement, architecture wallpaper murals can dramatically transform a space. These large-scale artworks can cover entire walls and effectively create visual impact in larger rooms or spaces with minimal furniture. From the awe-inspiring vistas of skyscrapers to serene scenes of ancient ruins, these murals bring the beauty of the outside world into your home.
Integrating with Bedroom Themes
When considering bedroom wallpaper, incorporating architectural elements can add a touch of elegance and sophistication. Whether it's the clean lines of black wallpaper that highlight modern architectural styles or the soothing hues of white wallpaper that complement a minimalist aesthetic, architectural wallpapers can enhance the bedroom environment. They provide a calming and inspirational backdrop, perfect for personal retreats.
The Charm of Vintage Wallpaper
For lovers of history and classic design, vintage wallpaper featuring architectural themes offers a timeless appeal. These designs often highlight the detailed craftsmanship of past eras, adding a layer of history and charm to any room. Whether it's a Victorian-style parlor or a retro-inspired study, vintage architecture wallpapers bring an unparalleled element of nostalgia and grandeur.
Tumblr media
Embracing Nature with Architecture
Finally, nature wallpaper with architectural elements can blur the lines between the built environment and the natural world. Such designs might incorporate elements like foliage intertwined with Greco-Roman columns or watercolour scenes of landscapes dotted with historical buildings. This blend of nature and architecture invites tranquillity into the space, making it ideal for relaxation and contemplation.
Conclusion
Architectural wallpapers offer a unique way to bring the essence of world-class design into the intimacy of personal spaces. Whether through the grand visuals of murals, the customizable options of bespoke wallpapers, or the practical solutions offered by peel and stick products, architecture-inspired wallpapers cater to various tastes and purposes. By choosing the right type of architectural wallpaper, you can profoundly alter the aesthetics and atmosphere of your home, turning every wall into a canvas of architectural artistry.
