2015

Spring, a time of fresh beginnings and optimism. As we become more confident with life our confidence also grows with our decoration choices and color is key to our mood and feeling of wellbeing.

My visit to Maison & Objet in Paris where all designers presented their collections for 2015 was uplifting and so many of the designs are witty and vibrant.

Our wonderful customers in the USA are proving to be so creative we love your choices and your passion for color.

It has been an exciting time to see new brands and so much British design. It has been a particular joy working with Verity on the ‘Layla Faye’ (see page 4) collection just launched, the color palette and freshness of the collection is fabulous and we hope you will love it as much as we do.

Our hand made curtain and blind making service has continued to grow and we pride ourselves on the attention to detail as we strive to help our customers create beautiful spaces in their homes.

We hope you enjoy the latest trends and have fun recreating your own space!

LAYLA FAYE

Inspirations of a Wallpaper Designer Verity Wilkinson - designer, business woman and mother of two, reveals the passions and inspirations behind her striking, nostalgic wallpaper range.

Verity Wilkinson

Who has influenced your work the most?

My dad was an artist, potter and woodwork teacher, mum made our clothes and grandma was a great knitter - all of which inspired me to design and create from an early age.

I was extremely proud to work on my dad’s pottery stands as a child and loved the process of producing beautiful ceramics by hand that would be enjoyed in homes for many years.

Our dining room table was always full of stunning pottery and paintings.

My dad loved to dream big and I am pleased to have inherited these same ideals in my life.

What has been the inspiration behind your designs?

Inspiration for my designs comes from travel around the world, living in quirky homes and exciting cultures and a love of fifties/sixties design and music. My designs originate from travel, nature 4 WALLPAP ERDIRECT.COM

Wallpaper: Layla Faye, Tall Flower Turquoise Swirl, LF1015, $88 per roll

and architecture. I am always on the look out for something to spark a new design and usually find inspiration in the great outdoors. All the designs are united by a nostalgic retro-modern feel and bright happy colors that add a contemporary flow throughout the collection.

The most popular design has been the Daisy Chain. A bold bright print influenced by the masonry at the Italian Gothic Doge’s Palace in Venice, a stunning building that overlooks the canal. This was the first design I created for Layla Faye and the central flower has become part of our logo. Bright happy colors add a twenty first century twist to all our designs. We have a range of signature colors that flow throughout the collection with an aim to bring a warm feeling of joy to every room.

Why did you set up your own business?

I travelled and worked around the world throughout my twenties which gave me a feeling of being able to go anywhere and do anything. I travelled with a battered Lonely Planet book always in my hand. Tony and Margaret Wheeler, founders of Lonely Planet books had an inspirational prologue about kick starting their business from a kitchen table and I still get a tingle of excitement when I read this paragraph. They juggled business and a family successfully which is a balance we try to emulate with our two children. I have worked alongside my husband on a number of business projects and currently design interiors for his Airstream and Classic camper van renovation business. We feel that working for ourselves will eventually give us freedom to write our own success story.

Wallpaper: Layla Faye, Flower Swirl Sunburst, LF1006, $88 per roll

Why call the company Layla Faye?

I started the business on maternity leave. I was sure I was going to have a baby girl named Layla Faye but instead I was blessed with a bouncing baby boy WALLPAP ERDIRECT.COM 5

LAYLA FAYE

Bobby John so I had a spare name which I loved and I gave the name Layla Faye to the business, my third baby.

Where are you based and where have you lived that has inspired you?

We live not far from Skipton close to the beautiful English Yorkshire Dales. At weekends we are always out and about wading in rivers and cart wheeling around fields with our two children 9 and 2. We love the outdoors and I am a huge fan of Spring and Summer when all the meadows are full of wildlife and flowers.

The majority of my designs have a flower or leaf at their origin.

We have lived in some beautiful places, exciting cultures and quirky homes including a spell on a barge close to Bath. My favorite place in the world is St. Ives Cornwall where we lived for a time and got married in St. Eia Church. It is without doubt one of the most perfect seaside towns which snuggles together all of my happiest memories. I love the culture of artists in St. Ives and am a huge fan of Bernard Leech, Barbara Hepworth and the bright designs of Patrick Heron, Sir Terry Frost and Sandra Blow all of whom spent time in this influential free thinking place.

MINI MODERNS

Launched in the UK in 2006 by London based designers, Keith Stephenson and Mark Hampshire, Mini Moderns have had both retail and critical success with their collections, which were inspired by their love of the 90’s Buddha of Surburbia novel and TV series, trips to Whitby and a road trip holiday across America. They have now looked to the beauty of the English coastline or to be precise the magical atmosphere of Dungeness, a favorite holiday destination for 20 years.

Dungeness with its wild, stark beauty has been a source of inspiration for artists for decades and continues to draw people to visit its rich marshland and rugged shoreline.

The striking Feathers design is a collaboration between Mini Moderns and artist, Matt Sewell. The design is based on Matt’s feather watercolors, which feature in the design for the end papers of his book Our Songbirds. The individual feathers each relate to the birds featured in the book.

across the paper creating an almost forest-like impression.

Uniquely created using real Farrow & Ball paints printed onto ground papers according to traditional block printing methods all of the wallpapers have a beautiful, appearance that adds subtle texture to any space.

Q&A with Farrow & Ball Head of Creative, Charlotte Cosby Charlotte Cosby

Craftsmen in paint and paper, Farrow & Ball, has added three dynamic new wallpaper designs to its collection of handcrafted wallpapers. Found in the Ducharne and Albert Dufours collections, the new patterns have been translated from fabric designs into new wallpapers.

Like all Farrow & Ball paints and wallpapers, the new additions each have an interesting name and an equally intriguing story: Tourbillon is taken from the Ducharne studio which created designs for some of the most famous couture houses in France from the 1920s to 1960s. The paper is composed of segmented circles which blend to give a graphic look.

Taken from an 1800s jacquard found in a collection of Albert Dufours originals, Paisley is a contemporary version of the timeless paisley design so often seen in the worlds of fashion and interior design.

Feuille, the French for leaf, is a largescale leaf pattern that flows organically

Why did you choose to add these wallpapers to your collection?

The inspiration for these new papers came from time spent in Paris. The movement within the patterns really caught my eye and I could instantly see them translated into wallpaper, they come from fabrics created for clothing which is increasingly relevant given the ever closing gap between fashion and interiors.

How could our readers use the new designs in their own home?

Both Feuille and Paisley are timeless designs that would work in any room of the home. With its organic feel, Feuille could work especially well in a kitchen or conservatory linking the interior of the home with the outside. Tourbillon is a bolder design, but feels very different depending on the colorway used. You can create real impact in a bedroom with our black and Setting Plaster combination, or add subtle pattern with tone-on-tone Ammonite and Purbeck Stone.

FARROW & BALL

Have you used wallpaper in your own home?

Yes, my absolute favorite wallpaper is Lotus and I’ve used it in a very classic way above the dado rail in my hall creating a real focal point for the house. Because our wallpapers are made using our paints you can create a seamless connection between paint and paper - I’ve picked out the pattern color, Teresa’s Green, and used this below the dado rail. I’ve also used our damask Silvergate wallpaper to create a wallpapered headboard in my master bedroom.

London was like a glittering playground filled with excitement and opportunity, culture and contradictions. Travel opened my eyes to the diversity and vibrancy of life. All these experiences of people and places

formed my love and gratitude for the world we live in” On summer afternoons there is nothing quite as nice as lying on a soft bed of grass and dreaming as you watch the world buzz about you. ‘Lazy days’ has been inspired by these tranquil moments.

Sophie’s wallpapers are designed for Arthouse.

Painted Papers

New for Spring 2015 Painted Papers is a definitive compendium of striped wallpapers, produced using traditional printing methods. More than just plain stripes, all ten designs in the new collection have been reworked from historic patterns sourced from several archives including those of English Heritage and range in date from the early 1800s to mid 1960s.

Using traditional surface-printing methods, which originally would have applied paint rather than ink, the product of these papers reflect very closely that used in preceding centuries: it also gives them their delightfully tactile feel and slightly textured appearance.

Tailor Stripe (shown here) is a mid 20th century stripe, which can be used either horizontally or vertically and the six tightly packed colors in each colorway allow several opportunities for picking out painted walls and trim.

Let our resident decorating expert help with your decorating dilemmas. info@wallpaperdirect.com

I love your wallpapers but I’m unsure how to calculate how many rolls I need for my room?

Amy, Boston Most of our wallpapers are standard European sizes approximately 21 inches wide and 11 yards long, known as a bolt. This is twice the length of a standard American single roll.

We do have a wallpaper calculator in the ‘How to’ section on our website, you can just enter your measurements and it will calculate how many rolls to order. When using the calculator, please be sure to enter each wall individual dimension. The calculator will determine how many rolls to order, based upon the size of the rolls we sell.

I’ve only used traditional wallpaper before, how much quicker and easier is ‘Paste-the-wall’ to hang?

Megan, Seattle Papering straight from the roll cuts decorating time by about a half. . . because the pasting table process is eliminated, it’s a lot cleaner and less messy too. Most traditional wallpapers expand when wet, which means they must be left to soak before hanging. Paste the wall products have a specially developed backing which does not expand, allowing it to be hung still dry.

I’m really exited by some foil and sparkly wallpapers I’ve seen recently on your website - are they really difficult to hang?

Julie, New York No they are not difficult as most foils and glitter papers are paste the wall so quite easy to apply, simply put the adhesive on the wall first.
