Wallpapers & Wallpaper Borders For Under £90 Per Roll
Not the catchiest of titles but it does what it says on the tin.
Wallpaper - there is something about it. I am fascinated by the stuff but also a little terrified. I moved into a new house last year. I have yet to wallpaper a room. It's a little pathetic of me, but when moving into a house, the damp, the windows, and the structure of the thing trumps any aesthetic tweaks. So now we are a year and a half in. Perhaps with a little more money in the bank for frivolity (not much, mind you). My mind has turned a little more to decoration. What terrifies me about it is the trend to wallpaper everything - which gives me a headache. Stripes here, checks there and florals everywhere - it's not for me. If I put a wallpaper up, I will have ruminated on it for a while. The tented stripe by Farrow & Ball has been a favourite of mine for some time. The wallpapers of Lewis & Wood are no flash-in-the-pan trends. Their collections have been considered. With digital printing becoming so readily available. There have been some absolute crap released to the market. Hence finding affordable, attractive wallpaper is a little harder now as you have to wade through that crap to get to the good stuff. Lewis & Wood is the good stuff. I always have a soft spot for Colefax. They speak to my 80s side, soft focus and comfy rooms. I have added a little section on borders, this is the first time I thought of borders, but as CommonRoom and Studio Atkinson have released such marvellous collections, it would have been remiss to miss them out.
