Barneby Gates Wallpaper
(28 August 2009) - Quintessentially English with a twist is the best way to describe these gorgeous designs from Barneby Gates. These new kids on the printing block produce beautiful wallpapers that embrace the past with a distinctive contemporary wit. Patterns show typical English influences of country houses, floral decor and heraldry, but on closer inspection have design details that merit a double take. One, called Deer Damask,...

Cole & Son Fornasetti Wallpaper
(12 December 2008) - We are in love with the new Fornasetti collection of wallpapers from Cole & Son. If you're into Damask patterns, oddities, and a hint of the early surrealists, this wallpaper has your name written all over it. Cole & Son has been around since the 1800s and has become one of the oldest and most respected wallpaper companies in the industry. We're ready to cover...
Graham & Brown Wallpaper
(08 December 2008) - We were recently reminded of Graham & Brown, purveyors of fine wallcoverings, when the Times mentioned their new line designed by Barbara Hulanicki, of Biba fame. The pattern shown here Viva ($60 for a double roll) draws from Hulanicki's Art Nouveau influences. Graham & Brown also carries a variety of designs by several other talents. We love Olivia White's line drawings that make for...
Trove Wallcoverings

One such studio is Trove, a New York-based design duo comprised of Jee Levin and Randall Buck. Two accomplished artists, they set out to merge art, design, and craft in the wall coverings business.

Hanna Nyman Wallpapers
(04 September 2008) - By Ezra Natalia Prior to graduating from the Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm, textile designer Hanna Nyman already had the interior industry’s attention for her intricately-designed wallpapers. Hanna works mostly with patterns that change shape, as she enjoys the tension when something beautiful transforms into something new or acquires an unexpected function. This is clearly evident in her work. Floral patterns...
Format Wallpaper ReUp
(28 May 2008) - Format Magazine recently released a wave of over 70 fresh wallpapers celebrating its 40th issue. Many are recycled covers from past issues but our favorites transform sneakers from commodity to an artistic medium. For example, "SNKR City" plays off of Frank Miller's graphic novel/superhero aesthetic, placing an eye-catching pair of Nikes into a noir setting. We also like how the 40th Anniversary issue cover,...
Nature Wallpaper
(04 March 2008) - Swedish designer Camilla Diedrich aims to add uniquely natural elements into her mass-produced products. Her goal for Nature Wallpaper was to inject an intrinsic luminance using a single color. Or as she succinctly explains, "I have been searching for light without light." Her efforts resulted in repeating patterns of vaguely organic forms, which are cast in vibrant hues and resemble some sort of luminous...
Vinyl Wall Art
(14 June 2007) - This artist-designed Vinyl Wall Art is the latest version of no-fuss decals for dressing up walls. Without the slip, slop, slap and sheer frustration of wallpaper and a lot cheaper than a framed artwork, designs from Jeremyville (pictured), Tado, Tassel, Ich & Kar and Geneviève Gaulker can be stuck and then peeled off to re-use somewhere else in your home. Available from Robio for $AUD110....
Three Better-than-Wallpaper Wall Coverings
(02 October 2006) - Wallpaper trends wax and wane, but in the end it's still just eye candy. These three new takes on wall coverings grabbed our attention recently at an exhibit during the London Design Festival called "In Production" for the ways they add new dimensions—both literally and figuratively. Susan Bradley's multi-purpose Outdoor Wallpaper (pictured left) is a laser cut metal pattern designed to function as a...
The Collection
(15 August 2006) - Allison Grant opened The Collection in Paris in 2003 to feature the work of new and established English designers. Her collection has grown and features works by several designers, spanning wallpaper (handmade, embroidered, trompe l'oeil, kits, appliques...), lighting, accessories, children's furniture and accessories. There are too many great things to show, but we managed a few of our favorites: Colorful kitchen towels by Unity...
