Camp Pocono Pines owner, Monica Mangin, has transformed the cottages into beautifully decorated home-away-from-homes featuring Tempaper peel and stick wallpaper and splashes of bold paint.
“Tempaper wallpaper helped breathe energy and life into the cottages at Camp Pocono Pines. Having so many options for colors and patterns helped make each cottage's style completely unique!” – Monica Mangin, Camp Pocono Pines Owner
Distinguished by their exterior paint colors, the six unique cottages of Camp Pocono Pines include: The Black Cottage, The Peach Cottage, The Red Cottage, The Yellow Cottage, The Blue Cottage, and The Green Cottage.

Block Print Floral Peel and Stick Wallpaper
Block Print Floral (pictured above) was chosen for the sunroom in The Peach Cottage and was paired with a soft, subtle pink paint. The neutral paint was the perfect choice, bringing out the soft tones featured in the bold green wallpaper from The Novogratz collection.

If you are wondering how to mix and match wallpaper and paint, Monica has shared her expert tips on how to pair paint and wallpaper. Additionally, she shared her process of finding the perfect paint color and wallpaper for a bedroom and living room.
What are your tips on how to pick the best paint color to pair with wallpaper?
Monica: First, decide if you want the paint to complement the paper or contrast with it. Both can work, but each would give a different vibe. In one of the cottage’s sunrooms, I went for contrast and used Tempaper's Block Print Floral bold green wallpaper. I paired it with a soft, subtle pink so it really popped against the neutral pink tone.
In one of the living rooms, I used Tempaper's Tallulah Belle light floral wallpaper, but this time, I paired it with a similar neutral paint tone so the two blended more seamlessly together. It really depends on what style you're trying to achieve!

Favorite colors and prints to use in a bedroom?
Monica: There are too many favorites to choose - I think you need to first think about the energy you want to feel in your space. If you want a room that is more calming and helps you feel restful, I'd go with a more subtle print. Think smaller patterns, lighter or tone on tone colors. If you want a room that invigorates you in the morning and helps you get out of bed, consider going big and bold! Oversized florals, geometric patterns and lots of color would easily achieve that look!
Favorite colors and prints to use in a living room?
Monica: I love infusing a living room with energy, so I use strong colors - think rich jewel tones, or having some fun with bright, primary colors. These strong colors pair great with oversized patterns, clean stripes, and playful patterns!
