Wallpaper has been popular for many years, with high quality interior designers such as William Morris providing designs of wallpaper for public consumption which are the envy of any home interior.
Wallpaper began to overshadow previous wall coverings from the middle ages when it became more popular than the labour intensive tapestries. Technologically the production of paper and dying skills were growing quickly and what better way to cover the blemishes and uneven surfaces of walls (in a world before skimmed plaster) than with wallpaper.
Interior designers have long had a passion for all types of wallpaper as it is possible to introduce a distinctive and individually opulent feeling with the use of wallpapers. Designs can be unique with hand dying and warmth introduced to any interior with some well hung wallpapers.
Modern advances in glues and adhesives have meant that hanging wallpaper is easier than ever before and wide open to the huge interior DIY market and home owners are realising that wallpaper can be a statement of their interior as much as any furniture or other accessory.
Classic lines, funky modern design, smooth or mottled, there is a wallpaper design to suit any palette, and over these pages we hope to demonstrate some of the best wallpaper designers and suppliers for you to source your won products.
