Wallpaper

I live in a brand-new condo with zero character—just white drywall and gray floors. How do I make it look like a historic cottage?

By applying a dense, "full-bleed" floral mural—like the dark-background botanicals found at https://costacover.com/collections/cottagecore-wallpaper—you add "perceived history." These designs mimic the layered aesthetics of old English country houses. They ground the room, making "cheap" drywall look like substantial, storied walls that have seen generations of life.
