Walls: artistic expression

WAKING UP YOUR WALLS

Dress up your walls with some wallpaper and it can be quite transformative, even on just one wall. Textural wallpapers and coverings add depth and warmth, and bold patterns will show off your artistic expression! Grasscloth wallcoverings have become especially popular recently. They add a natural feel to a room and are very durable, although the price tag can be high. Wallpapers brighten up a room, serve as an artistic statement and add cosiness – so they can really make an impact.

The Emozioni from Glamora’s Collection XI reinterprets the contemporary art and fashion world with ethnic touches and fairytale hints of green. The depiction of flowers and foliage brings indoor spaces to life in a creative and elegant way (www.glamora.it).

Above Right Mark Alexander’s new Collage wallcovering collection uses natural materials such as grass-cloth, Japanese paper and plant fibres, giving a unique raw look that is timeless. Available from Alison Design Studio in Pol. Ind. Nueva Campana 73 in Nueva Andalucía (www.alisonbethellcollins.com) and Cortidea on the Mijas Road and in Urb. Marbella Real (www.cortidea.es), and through Gonzalez Casaus in CC Camoján Corner in Marbella (www. gonzalezcasaus.com).

The design is bold and vivacious, giving a room an artistic and spirited feel. Casadeco is available from Siesta Interior Design in C. Plaza in Nueva Andalucía (www.siestainteriordesign.com).

Arte and Moooi are launching a luxurious new wallcovering collection next year inspired by extinct animals that celebrate life, love and happiness. The Mimic Moth collection (shown here) is a nod to this now-extinct moth, which fluttered both day and night, unlike most other moths that are nocturnal. The embossed design shows mimic moths around their favourite flowers. Although this collection will not be on the market until 2022, Arte wallpaper is currently available from Arte del Lusso in San Pedro de Alcántara (www. artedellusso.es), Alison Design Studio in Pol. Ind. Nueva Campana 73 in Nueva Andalucía (www.alisonbethellcollins.com) and Mandrágora in Urb. La Cancela de La Quinta on the Ronda Road (www. mandragoradecoracion.com)
