Fab Furn: Libby Langdon Peel-and-Stick Wallcoverings

By Jennifer Quail, About.com Guide

Interior Designer Libby Langdon expands her reach with a new line of removable and reusable wallcoverings with Casart Coverings. The line, this week's pick for the Fab Furn spot, caught my attention first because I truly love the palette and patterning. When I read further and learned it was peel-and-stick -- not too permanent and nowhere near the labor involved in standard wallpaper -- I was hooked.
The line is set to debut this month at Holiday House Hamptons, a luxury designer showhouse sponsored by Hamptons Cottages & Gardens magazine. Proceeds from the showhouse benefit The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Langdon is one of just 22 designers invited to participate.
Shown here are two of the patterns starting the line. Personally, I'm a major fan of the Chic Chevron in the bright orange shade and happen to have a favorite scarf that could be its sister.
Langdon moved a bit more into the public eye with her work on real life, one-day makeovers on NBC's Open House. Next up is her own television show, Daykeover with Libby Langdon! The show will feature an interior design makeover that happens in less than 12 hours. Expect to see some of her eponymous product on the new show.

LIBBY LANGDON LAUNCHES LUXURY PEEL-&-STICK WALLCOVERINGS COLLECTION

New York, NY, June 3, 2013 -- Known for her easy, elegant, everyday design style and real life one-day makeovers on NBC's Open House, interior designer Libby Langdon has partnered with Casart Coverings to create her line of removable and reusable wallcoverings as part of her growing collections of branded home furnishings products.

"I am absolutely thrilled to be designing my collection for Casart Coverings," says Langdon. "I love this product - it is so smart and innovative. I work with many clients who want the WOW factor of wallpaper, but are put-off by its permanence and labor-intensive installation. This amazing peel-and-stick wallcovering allows folks to have fun with color and pattern in an easy, low-commitment, temporary way. You literally just start at the top of your wall, pull the backing sheet off and smooth with your hands as you go...no tools necessary! If you need to, you can simply lift and reposition, without frustrating buckling and bubbling. I believe design should be accessible and fun and all of my products, from my upholstered furniture to my rugs, are based on direct input from my clients who don't want to sacrifice style for comfort, practicality and ease."

Read on for an exclusive interview with Langdon about her vision for the show.



EAL: What can viewers expect to see and learn from Daykeover?

LL: Viewers of my new show can expect to see a space in its ”before” state and then a specific walkthrough where I target what’s not working in the space—this allows people tuning in to possibly identify what might not be working in their own homes. ....
