Welcome In all my years of working with wallpaper this period has been one of the most exciting. Developing our exclusive William Morris range, bringing Isabelle Boxall’s drawings to life on wallpaper and working with Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen have all been wonderful projects.

Bringing Laurence’s fabulous drawing skills to wallpaper has been so exciting. He may be a television celebrity to many but he is an artist and seeing how his sketches build to make wallpapers has been a joy, and as you would expect a lot of fun.

Discovering that one of our own employees was such a talented artist and taking her drawings to the world of wallpaper has been a privilege. Thank you Isabelle, we love them and I hope there will be many more!

Introducing hotel chic at home with Momentum from

We welcome another new member to the Momentum family, using the same lush palette of colours: warm tones of Tulip and Cayenne, with highlights of Aubergine and Saffron, brought together with shades of Titanium and Graphite grey throughout. Creating a wonderful urban

collection, which their design team says reflects “the angularity of a city, where clean edges, tight corners and diffused shapes cast shadows across a bustling street� and we say simply that they are smart, luxurious wallpaper patterns perfect for modern homes.

Harlequin Momentum Claire Greenfield, lead design at Harlequin says, “This collection has been developed to bring the often unnoticed colours of the natural world into our daily lives, whether it be the pink in a sunset or the gold of a pollen. We’ve taken urban silhouettes mixed with microscopic close ups of rock formations, honeycomb and butterfly wings and given them

a luxurious twist. As our lives are becoming increasingly fast paced, we wanted to step back for a moment to appreciate the elegance and serenity of our surroundings.”

NEW talent…

Isabelle Boxall We discovered Isabelle’s talent for drawing when she shared her portfolio with us while working for Brewers in Tunbridge Wells. We were so impressed we’ve had them made into beautiful wallpaper.

The collection ‘English Garden’ has incredible attention to detail in the eight designs, depicting nature at its best with magical colour and hidden jewels.

Here we interview Isabelle to find out more about her inspiration and lifestyle.

Who are your favourite artists/designers and why?

Wallpaper: Damson

For my love of detail the paintings I can look at again and again are from the 17th Century Dutch Masters, especially Rachel Ruysch, her flowers almost look 3D. It would be impossible for me to limit to one designer but a few of my favourites are…

William Morris with his timeless placement of pattern and classical use of colour.

Cole & Son-Every collection that launches is so clever, quirky and contemporary, I am always excited by their wallpapers.

Liberty-the iconic Liberty fabrics will always be a favourite of mine. I’ve been given a few vintage Liberty fabrics from my grandma. The prints are so nostalgic and Liberty London is one of my favourite places to visit at the weekend. To me, it’s a museum not a shop.

NEW talent…

cont.

Do you have a favourite colour?

My favourite colours at the moment are teal, and mustard. I love the richness of teal; it compliments so many other bright colours so it is perfect for partnering and mustard is such a cheerful warming colour. I love the depth of mustard compared to a lighter buttercup yellow, and I have a mustard rucksack, which I take everywhere.

What is your favourite style of interiors?

This is a difficult question. My first love is colour. From rich, dark jewel tones to soft pastels either in wallpaper, paint or fabric. Maximalist interiors are so dramatic and instantly show off personality.

That isn’t to say I don’t like more neutral schemes; I also think lighter, airy interiors are so relaxing.

What would be your ideal weekend?

Visiting a craft/car boot fair on a Summer morning, going for a boozy picnic with friends and just spending quality time with family. I also love spending weekends exploring new cities, going to the theatre and finding off the beaten track places to eat.

What is your favourite music/podcasts?

Recently I’ve been listening to a lot of Marina, Agnes Obel and Florence + The Machine. When I draw I love listening to classical music or podcasts. Some podcasts I love are The Great Indoors, Table Manners and Happy Place.

Where’s your favourite restaurant?

Sotto Sotto - My favourite Italian restaurant is in Bath. Situated near the Roman Baths, it’s all underground complete with vaulted ceilings. The staff are always so welcoming, and the food is amazing.

Where do you shop for fashion?

Zara, & Other Stories, Anthropologie, Toast & H&M are a few of my favourites. wallpaperdirect.com

LATIN QUARTER GRAVURE

At the height of the Rat Pack era Downtown Miami boasted some of the most voluptuous Nightclubs in the international jet set little black book. The Latin Quarter fused Tropical Elegance, Dramatic Neoclassicism and some seriously sophisticated Sin to become the Glitterati's favourite Gin Sling drop-in.

Richly patterned and many featuring the trademark logos, these are wallcoverings with which to create your own Versace fantasy!

Our most popular selling design is the Greek Key, a deceptively simple pattern which uses texture to create tones of colour.

We are delighted to bring you the latest collection which includes more of his trademark logos in big, bright and beautiful patterns with even more baroque swirls, curls and flounces; exotic birds and a delicate new crown detail, seen here in the Heritage pattern, but also features a new, more feminine touch to the designs. Perhaps the influence of Donatella, with lovely blush and sugar pink shades coming through strongly in several of the patterns.

Lotus to Yukutori’s delicate smattering of pattern, the new collection features a carefully curated range of prints to suit all kinds of spaces.

“The great thing about metallics is that they can be added to almost any pattern,” says Charlotte Cosby, Head of Creative at Farrow & Ball, “but we decided to reimagine some of our most iconic wallpaper designs.”

“I wanted to ensure this collection had a cross-section of styles and designs, from smaller entry-level patterns like Amime in soft neutrals, right the way up to statement papers like Lotus in Sulking Room Pink and gold.”

PAINT ON PAPER

Farrow & Ball Wallpapers

When the expert craftsmen at the Farrow & Ball factory print their wallpapers, they do so in a way that’s been unique to the company since its first rolls left the line back in the 1990s.

Rather than printing with ink, they build up layers of texture and colour using the brand’s own eco-friendly, water based paint, first brushing on the background colour before applying the pattern using time-honoured artisanal methods.

ALWAYS THE GREENER OPTION Farrow & Ball has long been working to reduce its impact on the environment, and its wallpaper range is no exception.

Every roll of paper is sourced from sustainable forests, and manufactured in small batches by Farrow & Ball craftsmen at their Dorset factory. And, because it doesn’t contain a trace of vinyl, it’s also recyclable – just be sure to check your local recycling facilities.

Colour Confidence:

DECORATING WITH RED Walking into a red room will always illicit a response because, unlike many other colours, the human eye is immediately drawn to it.

One of the boldest colour choices, it will bring energy, strength and passion to its surroundings and in many Eastern cultures it 28

is also thought to bring good luck.

Due to its intensity red is often used as an accent, but less frequently as the dominant colour. However, it seems that an emerging trend in bolder, more vibrant wallpapers is taking red interiors to a whole new level.

W A L L P A P E R D I R E C T. C O M

Wallpaper: Mini Moderns, Bauhaus ÂŁ60 per roll

Our top tip for decorating with red is to consider a variety of shades of this hue. Using only the same shade in a single space will quickly become over-stimulating, whilst several shades will give your room a sense of depth and variety.

Wallpaper: Morris, Thistle, £90 per roll

Walking into a red room will always illicit a response because, unlike many other colours, the human eye is immediately drawn to it.

Although minimalists might be wary of the visual drama of red, it doesn’t always have to be overwhelming. The ‘Bauhaus’ wallpaper by Mini Moderns has an architectural quality that emphasises clean lines and pared back design.

For those who like a contemporary take on traditional florals Eijffinger’s Carmen wallpaper, with its exquisite all-over design of intertwined flowers, serves as an elegant backdrop. Here the red tones are assimilated with cooler hues, creating a harmonious balance.

For the richest of colour combinations, red and gold 30

construct a magnificent union. Our exclusive re-imagined Morris & Co wallpapers include the exquisite Thistle, taking an iconic design, coloured in deep red and emblazoned with a sumptuous lustre.

Farrow & Ball’s Ringwold (previous page) radiates from its red ground with a majestic golden overlay.

31 Wallpaper: Strawberry Thief, ÂŁ75 per roll

I have been selling William Morris wallpaper for over 25 years but Brewers has a long history of over 100 years with the brand and with Wallpaperdirect celebrating 20 years we suggested it was a great time to work on a collaboration with one of our favourite iconic wallpaper brands.

We are proud and excited to share our new collection, which enhances the beautifully crafted wallpapers on non woven, paste the wall papers with a twist on colour and sheen to transform the patterns for a more contemporary market but not losing any of the grace and elegance equally suited to a stately home. Maintaining the beauty and craft of surface print with lighter fresher colours and finding deep reds, purples and greens to enhance some classic designs it has been a journey of discovery.

It has been a joy working with the team at William Morris experimenting with different colour combinations and introducing golds and silvers to the collection, very on trend as we head into 2020. We have all loved the results and as the collection comes to the market we are not only selecting wallpapers for our own homes but excited to share it with our customers who we know will love it as much as we do.

A new concept in stylish, affordable wallcoverings – taking their inspiration from six major European cities – each unique – each with their own character and story to tell creating a collection of six mini sets of designs, which celebrate our differences and emphasise how our similiarites bring us together!

Lola brings us the passions of les parisiennes and the concept of ‘la vie est belle’ with an eclectic mix of patterns which reflect Paris itself. Paul Bergmann, a young man with a smart urban life style strongly influenced by the industrial, rebuilt urban style of Berlin. And our Lizzy with her fresh energetic twist on classical damask patterns and smart contemporary geometrics in London.

Nils Olsson, Copenhagen living a cool, contemporary life in the heart of Denmark, with a sophisticated city style with a good measure of hygge in the mix. Francesca with lush greenery and decaying architecture, reflecting the lively passion of Milano.

And finally the urban and urbane, lovers of history Anki & Daan with their mix of painterly florals, decorative tiles and smart brick work in Amsterdam.

The styling may be a bit of fun, but we promise the product is certainly worth a second look. All these wallpapers are featured on the wallpaperdirect website.

A NEW DIMENSION

3D WALLCOVERING Orac Decor®, a Belgian family company and global leader in the design and production of high quality 3D decorations, gives ‘wallcovering’ a whole new meaning as it introduces its new collection of Modern 3D wall panels.

Inspired by Modernist design, the collection consists of clean, simple forms that shift ornaments from being purely decorative to becoming a part of the architecture. This mixed with the 3D element, adds visual interest, texture and personality to a space, creating a new dimension.

The 3D wallcoverings make it easier to be innovative and to add personality to an interior as each element is versatile and can be used in a number of ways.

Designs include W106 Envelope, W107 Circle and W108 Zigzag.

BENEFITS OF ORAC WALLCOVERING TEXTURE Each design can be used to create rhythm and depth for extra dimension as seen in Anastasia Danilova’s W106 design. Here she repeats the pattern and paints the individual elements to create her spatial feature wall.

VERSATILIT Y From covering a whole room to creating a spectacular feature wall you can use the wallcovering elements as you want to, there are no set rules.

PL AYFUL ARRANGEMENT Create compelling compositions by playing with direction and depth. As seen in the pink W108 Zigzag wall (page opposite), the 3D effect is amplified by the change in direction.

USER FRIENDLY All designs are durable and easy to install with only adhesive required.

MELSETTER FROM

‘May Morris - embroiderer, designer, teacher and social campaigner’ May Morris (1862-1938) is one of English embroidery’s most influential and pioneering figures. The youngest daughter of designer-craftsman and poet, William Morris this collection of wallpapers and fabrics, is inspired by her work, her father’s work and the craftsmanship of the needlewomen with whom she worked.

Born in the ‘Red House’ at Bexleyheath, England (a beautiful house co-designed in 1859 by the architect Philip Webb and William Morris as their family home) May was immersed in the creative world of her father and other members of the Arts & Crafts movement from her earliest moments. She was also painted in her youth by a close family friend, Dante Gabriel Rosetti , as her mother was before her.

These romantic beginnings gave her an extraordinary upbringing, and placed her at the physical and ideological heart of the English Arts and Crafts movement.

She and the needlewomen influenced by her craftsmanship and teaching are the inspiration behind the Morris & Co Melsetter collection (named after Melsetter House in Scotland, once home to a significant May Morris embroidery).

Rebecca Craig, head of design at Morris & Co. says, “Melsetter showcases the incredible talents of May Morris and other leading female embroiders from the Arts and Crafts movement. Their flawless techniques and distinctive style earned a place in our hearts, deserving to be recognised and enjoyed. May’s commitment to her own creative vision and to her father’s ideals are celebrated in Melsetter, a collection of beautiful, useable fabrics and wallpapers, each with their own historical provenance.”

The creativity of the Morris & Co studio has brought us a return to the more classic, country colours of the past, 62

Melsetter has beautiful, intricately detailed patterns which create a calm, peaceful, serene feeling. You can just see the dappled light, delicate scent of roses amongst the herbaceous borders and hear the garden birds as you explore this collection of wallpapers.

Morris & Co Fabrics and wallpapers are printed in England and available from all branches of Brewers and wallpaperdirect.
