A few weeks ago, we loved showcasing this eclectic glam teen girls room makeover for a sweet client of ours. We really enjoyed designing the space in a whole new way that truly reflected her. But we wanted to highlight one of our very favorite tools whenever we create a space. It’s so multifunctional, it comes in handy for every single one… and we can’t say that about many tools being so diverse. We’re thrilled to showcase this room with FrogTape, to help celebrate their 2022 trends!
Did you know that FrogTape releases new trends around this time each year? You guys really need to check out all their gorgeous inspiration. We love the way that they capture the upcoming year and the exciting things that go with it. We felt that this space definitely showcases their ‘Embrace’ trend.
From their site:
Embrace all that is good in your life. Embrace your loved ones, your friends, heck.. embrace your barista if you want! That feeling of a hug, comfort, warmth, and security that everything is going to be ok is what we are ready for.
This trend is soft textures and soft palettes. Imagine a space where you can climb on to an oversized comfy sofa with a soft blanket, plenty of throw pillows, and with a loved one. Cuddle up in cozy spaces like a bedroom, a family room, or even while sitting on a comfy couch in a local artsy coffee shop on a rainy day. It is that comfortable feel of a worn sweatshirt or jean jacket.

This space has come a very long way since their family moved in a few years ago, and she was ready for something fresh to grow with her. The before is a good reference point to see all the fun personality and ideas that went into their new room!
We’re definitely ready for all things ‘Embrace’ it this year.
And we feel that this space brings on a whole new level of comfort and optimism for the new year.
We’ve said it a million times here, and we’ll say it again… FrogTape is an integral part of each project that we take on for both our clients, and our own home. From the planning to the implementation, it’s an invaluable guide to consider to keep in your arsenal so that you can grab it on a whim.
Here are three major ways we used FrogTape when creating for this space.
1. Our Favorite Ways to Use FrogTape With the Embrace Trend: Trimming out Paint
Everyone knows what a chore painting can be. But it can definitely be therapeutic if you use the right tools. It’s also oh so rewarding and dare we say it, effortless with FrogTape.
We love FrogTape’s Multi Surface Painter’s Tape for this job.
From their site on their green tape:
It’s made with exclusive PaintBlock® Technology, a super-absorbent polymer that reacts with the water in latex paint and instantly gels to form a micro-barrier that seals the edges of the tape to prevent paint bleed.
Their awesome tape helps keep our lines neat, and our prep work easy. It just makes sense to use it for all the things. I’ve never had cleaner lines. We know that we can count on it for our best work when it comes to refinishing any space!
The tape pulls up clean, every time.
We’re never stressed about not getting that crisp trim, or line, or whatever we’re creating, with FrogTape.
2. Our Favorite Ways to Use FrogTape With the Embrace Trend: Freshly Painted or Delicate Surfaces
We also love FrogTape’s Delicate Surface options for painting just about anything.
This is one product people may not be familiar with, and can really come in handy in more ways than one on this particular space.
From their site:
…The result is a crisp, professional paint line. Specifically designed to work on delicate surfaces such as fresh paint, wallpaper and decorative projects, this premium grade masking tape is perfect for when you need a lower adhesion level to help prevent surface damage.
There’s nothing worse than messing up a fresh wall, right after it’s been painted. And we love that we can use it on wallpaper too, because that would be absolutely cringe-worthy if we messed it up. It’s so satisfying to get those clean lines when you’re touching everything up!
Boom. We really didn’t have to sweat those cleaner lines when it came to touch ups on those fresh layers of paint!
3. Our Favorite Ways to Use FrogTape With the Embrace Trend: All Things Planning
This is an element of FrogTape that people don’t take advantage of, enough.
From to this board of wallpaper shown above where we measured it out proportionally, and the placement of those shelves below for just the right measurements, we use this tape all the time when it comes to placement, planning, measurements and more!
Their tape useful in so many ways, like sharing the layout of cabinets in a freshly demoed kitchen for a client, or planning out the placement of a gallery wall for a family. We’ve even used it to map out furniture planning for a fresh space, since sometimes things can be lost in translation on paper. We did our entire floor plan in our new addition just a few weeks ago! It really helped us see where the walls would go.
FrogTape helps to double check everything on our planning and design list, to get the proportions just right.
Like we mentioned above, their yellow tape is especially invaluable with delicate surfaces.
We were able to put the tape right over the spot where our client’s space would need shelves over her desk, and mark + measure where brackets could go for proper placement. It made so much more sense to be able to map it out visually for everyone to see before a single hole was made. And once again, we didn’t have to worry about messing up the wallpaper. That’s kind of a big deal.
We have one really pleased client with this placement!
