2020 is a very special year for our company as we celebrate 100 years of Albany. Clement Brewer named his first wallpaper collection after the prestigious Albany Mansions in Piccadilly, London and the brand has grown as the core of our wallpaper business. Over the last 25 years I have personally overseen the development of ranges to meet the needs of our customers. From the heavyweight beautifully embossed Italian designs, to an inexpensive lift to a child’s bedroom or luxurious silk, Albany covers all types of wallpaper and is now known worldwide.

Albany - 100 years Celebrating 100 years of quality with Albany

As trends constantly develop, I have never seen so much love for animals, insects and birds on our walls; whether from the English countryside, Africa or the Brazilian tropics, exotic birds and animals are adorning our walls and it is a wonderful trend, so have fun with it. And we love the Isabelle Boxall bumble bee on our front cover.

Osborne & Little A modern take on the quintessential English country house, its gardens and surrounding countryside

The ongoing development of pigment rich paints giving a superior finish and coverage from a number of brands means that the relationship between wallpaper and paint has got closer. Whether Sanderson, Little Greene, Designers Guild, Graham & Brown, Farrow & Ball or Albany the marriage of paint colour to printing of wallpaper is a good one, which helps you get the best results and should make decisions easier!

Teal- is the perfect decorating colour for your home. A rich blue green colour which fades and strengthens depending on light and depth of colour; ranging from soft, pale silvery verdigris shades to deep dramatic colours which are almost green. Perhaps technically it should match the bird its named after (a very cute duck) but with a little artistic licence it can embrace a wide range of shades.

Calm, cool blue mixed with natural elements of green combine to create a colour which should be welcome on every wall. A beautiful shade, which adds glamour and sophistication to every room and is the perfect companion to greys, silver and natural wood colours. Style it chic or relaxed, depending on your personal taste. Teal is the colour for every season and remains one of the strongest trends in wallpaper colours.

MIRADOR A collection to capture the spirit, style and glamour of the iconic island of Ibiza – with a glorious chilled-out vibe. Named after the Spanish word for ‘lookout’, this collection is inspired by the stunning panoramic vistas and the glamorous interiors of sunkissed villas perched high upon towering Ibizan hills. Spanish and African influences have been combined, to give a soft light-filled touch whilst introducing some quirky animal details.

Claire Greenfield, head of design at Harlequin says, “Mirador is all about introducing a sophisticated, laid-back destination style into the home. Think elements from achingly cool Ibizan interiors, buzzing social spaces and the far-reaching horizon that wraps around this island paradise.”

We say this is a fresh new look, at the jungle trend which we think you will love. A sophisticated palette of neutrals and the use of delicate metallic ink highlights, means this is an animal themed collection which we can all use. Intricately detailed, stylised florals, abstract geometrics and animal inspired patterns and motifs, which you don’t need to be afraid of – they will subtly enhance your walls without dominating. Even the bold black and white statement of the zebra (Nirmala) design with its woven fabric effect creates a geometrically subtle illusion when seen from a distance – a triumph of pattern design!

All of the Harlequin wallpapers and fabrics are available through wallpaperdirect and all branches of Brewers.

Wallpaper: Jungle, £60 per roll

A British Brand with unique credentials. Not only do they design beautiful wallpapers they make them in their own factory – with a proud history of over 80 years – they have inspired people to think differently about their walls through innovation, creativity and craftsmanship, covering every possible interior passion, from damasks embellished with flock to artisanal florals there is a wallpaper for every home!

Undeniably famous for wallpaper, they have developed a very high quality paint range to partner perfectly with their wallpaper patterns. Their range of 90 fashion led colours are available on our designerpaint.com website and through our branches of Brewers.

Paula Taylor, Colour & Trends Specialist at Graham & Brown says “Our objective is to make it easier for our interior-loving customers to find the perfect match for their projects, that’s why our premium wallpapers and paints are partnered up at the design stage and not forced together at the end”.

Artworks are lovingly hand-drawn or hand-painted in the studio by a team of multi-talented surface pattern artists. These artworks can take several days to create, and every creation is carefully archived so it can be drawn upon as inspiration in the future. Completed artworks are then digitised and separated into layers that allow for recolours based on extensive trend forecasting by their stylists, before moving to the proofing stage.

For every wallpaper, four coordinating paint colours are selected, which encompass true colour matches to accents and backdrop colours, as well as contrast colours expertly selected by trend specialists and stylists.

united by the belief that fine art should inhabit everyday spaces. They sought to apply the same attention that would be paid to an artwork to every surface of the home, and let’s just say these are the sort of values we can get on board with!

Wallpaper: Sashiko, £50 per roll

If the perfect partner does not exist in the extended range of over 380 colours, a new shade will be developed and produced alongside the wallpaper. The most important thing to us is that customers are able to shop wallpaper and paint that is truly made for each other.

A key interiors trend in 2020 is the growing desire to delve into the past and use its aesthetics to inform the designs of the future. With an archive of over 30,000 designs, G&B have a treasure trove to explore.

Wallpaper of the Year for 2020 is Bloomsbury Neo Mint, a celebration of the vastly influential creative output of the Bloomsbury Group. Described as the English avant-garde of their era, the Bloomsbury Group gained popularity in the first half of the 20th century and were

16

As such their namesake is a wallpaper that adorns walls in a brilliant array of hand-painted flowers, insects and foliage, set against a backdrop of Neo Mint, a colour set to be big in 2020. Perfect for a springtime refresh, it would look at home in either a contemporary space or an English stately home.”

And with the growing awareness of environmental issues, we were pleased to see that Graham & Brown’s wallpapers are produced on a variety of sustainably sourced papers and that for every tree they use as paper, three more are planted; as well as using water based-inks, which are less harmful to the environment.

So we think we can say this is truly a perfect partnership for the 21st century.

Founded in 1999, Clarke & Clarke has established itself as one of the global leaders in the home furnishings market, bringing us here at wallpaperdirect, both wallpaper collections and fabrics in a range of innovative designs and collaborations with artists, the most recent being Emma J Shipley.

Following on from the success of the designs in her first collection Animalia; we were awe-struck to see her new collection ‘Wilderie’!

Wilderie

Wild: Living in a state of nature Reverie: A daydream Emma is a British artist and designer who studied at the Royal College of Art, and has always had a love of nature, and a fascination with mixing imagination and reality. And we were delighted to meet her at the start of her journey with Clarke & Clarke, when she came along to talk to us about the behind her first collection. She explained how she combined her love of nature with the joys of travel, to create her designs; which mix a sense of maximalism with grafitti and tattoo styling and anatomically detailed handdrawn artwork.

Wallpaper: Zambesi

We were amazed by the abstract detail within her drawings, linking so many themes together and this new collection continues with its mix of uncharted lands of curious creatures inspired by myths and legends and wild animals like Gorilla, Elephant, Zebra, Lion and Giraffe. You really need to look closely at these wallpapers and fabrics, to see everything that is there and then when you take a step or two back, the patterns almost magically become more classic-like damask and trailing wallpaper designs.

Add to this a dazzling palette of colours and the addition of metallic inks and this amazing new collection is every bit as wonderful and wild as the first.

Wallpaper: Netherfield, £230 per roll (wide width)

Mansfield Park Wallpapers This collection of decorative wallcoverings, offers a modern take on the quintessential English country house, its gardens and surrounding countryside.

The collection takes its name from the novel of the celebrated British novelist, Jane Austen.

“We are often asked, ‘where do you get your ideas from?’

Designers are like magpies, constantly on the lookout for

24

that shiny spark of an idea. We never start with a blank sheet of paper because ideas are constantly forming and shared in the studio. This season we felt there was a mood of nostalgia in the zeitgeist; vintage finds and wellcrafted pieces, and the trend for indoor plant collections, all provided sources of inspiration for our theme and individual designs.”

Osborne & Little’s Mansfield Park collection began with a studio trip to the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, to explore the Arboretum and beautiful Victorian glasshouses, home to a wonderful variety of plants from around the world. The ‘Palm House’ wallpaper was inspired by its namesake at Kew. A stunning mural design as is the ‘Sylvania’ pattern on the previous page with its whimsical woodland scene with a carpet of ferns, bluebells, wild tulips and toadstools.

The collection also contains a range of traditional wallpaper designs including ‘Medlar’, a stripe created with leaves and the pretty blossom and fruits of the medlar tree; ‘Follies’ a more conversational print with gazebos, garden ornaments, espalier fruit trees, stone balustrades and tiled terraces and ‘Cranes’ an elegant Oriental inspired bird design and our office favourite the enchanting ‘Netherfield’ with its leafy branches, and nestling garden birds. ‘

As you would expect, they are more than just plains and the textures have an elegant mellow richness of colour.

Created in organic hues, from earthy sepia, birch and hemp, to celadon, emerald and topaz and hints of azalea and turmeric, all of which perfectly compliment their floral fabrics too.

The plains emulate the effects of fine woven silk to the deep texture of grasscloth and have a combination of matt and metallic accents. Two geometric designs, Manipur and Parterre, create a smart abstract colour tile effect.

Every paint shade is available in five qualities (finishes) plus masonry paint and each shade is water-based and are low or very low in VOCs, making them a responsible, ecologically sound choice. As importantly, they are also highly pigmented with supreme coverage so the effect is of a deep rich finish – whatever colour you choose.

CASPIAN an exotic fusion For more than 1,000 years the Silk Road has linked Asia with the Mediterranean Sea, surrounded by regions remarkable for their textural heritage and bordered by the Caspian Sea, from which this collection takes its name.

Igniting imaginations and a sense of adventure, the romance of faraway places captured in printed cottons, warp-printed silks and hand painted papers have influenced the way we decorate our homes ever since.

Laden with treasures and an air of anticipation, intrepid explorers crossed continents, paving the way for the Silk Road. Trading brought home a new and exciting blend of goods and stories, opening up a world of intriguing and exotic delights.

Rebecca Craig, head of design at Sanderson says, “Caspian is a celebration of country house style and the impact trade routes, specifically the Silk Road, have had on design. We’ve included a glorious mix of cultural styles from Chinoiserie to Uzbek and from Indian to

Wallpaper: Dahlia

Wallpaper: Midsummer Eve

At the southwestern point of Sweden is the town of Falsterbo – a little community that has evolved from a medieval trade centre and fishing village into a fashionable beach town with touristic appeal.

Sand, sea architecture and nature provide fantastic conditions for creative inspiration as well as experiences beyond the ordinary.

At one time, the sands of the Falsterbonaset peninsula served as the residents’ greatest enemy. Capricious winds from the surrounding seas blew the sand dunes, causing them to wander and change the contours of the landscape, threatening to bury the little coastal communities. Residents decided to try and stop the sand migrating by building parks and planting trees. The fruits of which now form the foundation of a breath-taking natural environment.

Wallpaper: Hazel

We are delighted to see this collection which brings us classics from Boråstapeter’s extensive archive in refreshed mild tones, together with some new designs.

All inspired by the Swedish summer and nature in all its dazzling splendour!

“Falsterbo III carries a longing for the first pleasing Spring flowers, for the Summer’s sparkling cottage flower beds and the Autumn’s diminutive apple trees.

Be swept away by the low-key beauty of our Nordic nature and changing seasons. I hope that the love of all the beauty around us will permeate the collection and find its way inside the home” says Jenny Hahne Gadd, Designer Boråstapeter.

Coordonné – more than 40 years of excellence in creating wallpapers and murals influenced by the very best in European art and Artists.

A family run company based in Barcelona, and set up 41 years ago, by its founder Carmen López de Lamadrid, with the aim to bring quintessential English floral wall covering design and influence to Spain. Now, after the work accomplished by the second generation, with Gabriel Bans López de Lamadrid at the helm, the brand’s own style has evolved and Coordonné wallpapers now transform spaces with their very own unique style; which they are now in turn taking to the rest of the world.

Proud that the company has its own production line and produces wallcoverings of the highest quality which are “respectful to the environment”, they use inks which are organic, the non-woven wallcovering base, which does not harm our forests and the production has a low energy consumption. By taking control of their own production they have been able to introduce even more digital elements to their collections. They are leading the resurgence in the use of wall Murals; which are large scale images but applied to the wall just like a standard wallpaper.

Bringing the Spanish influence into our homes.

Their 40th Anniversary collection brought together the very best in design, to celebrate four decades with 40 different artists putting their own unique style on wallpaper. The collection included murals such as the Art Nouveau inspired floral by Elena Reig. (Espejismo Modernista – fantastical flowers on a tile effect background.)

Little Greene’s Marketing Director, Ruth Mottershead, is delighted to be producing wallpapers in association with the National Trust: “We’ve already enjoyed considerable success with the ‘Green’ paint range, which is proving overwhelmingly popular. To have the opportunity to add wallpapers into the mix is both exciting, challenging and an honour.

With more than 350 significant historic interiors in the National Trust’s care, we feel privileged to have access to such a prestigious and comprehensive mix of decorative styles.”

ROMO

E T S U WA L L PA P E R S Based in Nottinghamshire, Romo is a family run business in its fifth generation and was founded in 1902 by Robert Mould. (Which of course, explains the name!)

Romo is the founding brand of the Romo group, which now includes Villa Nova, Kirkby Design and others and is renowned world-wide for its library of classic and contemporary designs and versatile plains, offering a timeless elegance in our busy so often disposable century.

Generations of experience and distinctive British design are the foundation of the Romo brand. Since establishing its own in-house design studio in the 1980s Romo has continued to grow and is now a market leader in designer fabrics and wallcoverings. Led by current Design Director Emily Mould, the Romo studio is a continuous hub of activity and creativity and this year they have brought us the new Etsu Wallpaper collection.

Wallpaper: Etsu wallcoverings from £95 per roll

ROMO “Beautiful in its simplicity, the Etsu collections presents subtle designs, accentuated by unique textures and considered metallic highlights. We feel the collections offers understated style with an array of sophisticated designs that that can be used for an entire room.” Emily Mould, Design Director.

Our favourite design is Nyiri, which has charming metallic spots that gently shimmer – deceptively simple but oh so elegant! As shown here in the softest blush pink – a very grown up colourway.

The whole collection has been created in a range of pastel shades and elegant neutrals. All Romo and Villa Nova wallpapers available at wallpaperdirect.com Wallpaper: Nyiri £99 per roll

Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen

Created and drawn by the British designer Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, this new collection is inspired by his own travels and passion for interior design.

The patterns are referenced by the past but very much for modern homes. Although they are full of detail, colour and excitement, they have been created in a scale which will work in everyday homes. Chateau height walls or ballroom spaces are not needed to get the best from these wallpapers.

Pretty Boys, with its charming homage to the ideals of William Morris is becoming a firm favourite with our customers and two

of our team have already succumbed to the charms of these wallpapers, one of our team has hung the opal white version of Pretty Boys in their bedroom and another has used the fresh green Latin Quarter in a kitchen diner and is delighted with the results.

And for the last additions to the collection, Laurence has crammed so much detail into his patterns that we have had to go wide! Just to get everything contained on a width of wallpaper, we have made them wider than standard rolls, so there are 3 amazing designs created wide: Damask
