Wallpaper: Albany WOW! Geometric Wood Panelling, UN3204, $37 per roll

Spring Issue

I love the spring, renewal and growth, packed with optimism for the year. Decorating spaces, which have become tired and dull after the wear and tear of Christmas and the winter. So many new collections are launched in the spring and I hope you will enjoy the ones we have brought together to give you inspiration for all your decorating projects.

At wallpaperdirect we strive to bring our customers an incredible choice of papers to suit all budgets and we explore design across the world to ensure that we are at the forefront of wallpaper design.

We love to work with new designers like, Kerry Caffyn, to bring exciting concepts to walls, which are both beautiful and fun.

Colors are softer with pink really making a statement this year, and blue is definitely the new neutral not the cold shades of the past. Denim has always been in our wardrobes and works with so many colours and our walls are just the same.

Printing techniques continue to improve and the effects of metallics, beads and flocks just get better and better.

Having viewed your choices in our rooms to give you a feeling of scale and design use our offer of 3 free samples to give you clarity of texture and color so that you are confident with your choice. We give you lots of help on the website with “how to” tutorials to ensure you get the perfect finish and it is so rewarding to step back and see the transformation you have achieved.

I hope we can give you the confidence to tackle those decorating jobs with excitement and enthusiasm and we are always delighted to see your results on facebook, pinterest or instagram. We regularly have ‘giveaways’ too, so share with us and be proud of your interior design achievements.

Happy Decorating!

3. Hummingbirds wooden printing blocks. 4. Hummingbirds, 100/14069, $137 per roll

The now iconic Woods wallpaper pattern was designed by Michael Clarke for Cole & Son in 1958. Originally a screen print produced in the innovative print studio set up in 1949, the Woods wallpaper pattern features bold sketches of trees making a unique forest repeat. This design classic offers a sense of narrative that is universally appealing.

Available in a host of beautiful colors, and design options including the addition of pears and stars, the most popular remains the original black and white. Although designed over 50 years ago, this pattern continues to thrive and is used in both commercial projects and residential environments globally. Like many Cole & Son wallpapers this striking design is available to custom color via the Cole & Son Bespoke Service, who work with customers to produce papers in any color, so the trees and background can be produced just for you in any color you desire.

Hummingbirds, featuring fluttering birds on delicate foliage, was originally designed in 1772 and remains one of the most beloved and iconic Cole & Son wallpapers to this day. Originally a 27 color block print finished with hand painted elements, each color within the design has its own numbered wooden block, which remain in the Cole & Son archive today. Currently produced as a 12 color surface print, Hummingbirds now sits in the Archive Anthology collection with colorways including jewel toned birds on an indigo ground, pretty pastel birds on delicate ivory, and the classic duck egg, soft blue and cream grounds. One of Cole & Son’s most popular designs, Hummingbirds has universal appeal, being seen in pretty chintzy interiors, mid-century modern style rooms and contemporary industrial spaces.

Palm Jungle, seen opposite, is fast becoming a classic Cole & Son design.

Originating from the iconic 1950’s Palm wallpaper design, the pattern was added to with a denser foliage in the Contemporary Restyled collection, and offered in a range of colors including emerald green on a charcoal ground, black and gold, blue and white alongside the traditional bright and olive greens.

COLE & SON

LANDSCAPE PLAINS L

Cole & Son launches a collection of semi plain designs in a host of elegant colours

andscape Plains brings together five semi plain designs in a host of colors with a mix of matte, pearl and metallic finishes. The collection includes Coral, a diminutive reworking of one Cole & Son’s most iconic block prints, the Vermicelli. Cordovan, a smart parchment style semi plain wallpaper. Pebble, a small scale ‘birds egg’ speckle, designed to act as a subtle backdrop to the most fashionable of interiors.

Watered Silk, another of Cole & Sons ‘traditions’, dating back over a century. Produced in various ways over the years, this latest version incorporates the clever use of a fine motherof-pearl printed ottoman texture to create a wonderfully soft shimmering moiré effect. And lastly, one of Cole & Sons’ oldest designs, the Jaspe, historically produced with a random brush effect, and now modernised to create this subtle strie effect.

These papers offer a comprehensive and elegant palette to be used independently within a design scheme or to complement any of Cole & Son’s existing wallpaper designs. Produced in over seventy colorings, the Landscape Plains collection offers a range of beautifully balanced hues, which include Cole & Son’s time honoured duck egg, salmon pink, old olive and a striking forest green, alongside a range of pretty neutrals which sit beautifully with Cole & Son’s bolder and more conversational designs from other collections such as Contemporary Restyled and Archive Anthology. The Landscape Plains collection brings a touch of understated elegance to the most serious of spaces.

The Best-Kept Secret In Interior Design…‘iLiv’ If you haven’t yet heard of iLiv, you will have soon.

Hailed as the best kept secret in interior design, its three newest collections are set to cause a stir in Spring/ Summer 2016 owing to iLiv’s inspirational, coordinated ideas and boundary-pushing designs

16 WALLPAP ERDIRECT.COM

T

he iLiv story begins in 1987, when a Spanish Entrepreneur named Salvador Monllor arrived in Lancashire, bringing with him luxury fabric and wallpaper designs unlike anything seen before. Slowly and quietly, these unusual designs started to attract attention from further afield and before long the SMD Group was selling exclusive designs all over the world.

But that was 1987, and times have changed. Style and luxury alone are no longer enough and so the iLiv concept was born and quickly established itself as the ‘magic secret formula’ for the home makeover. Exquisite designs and deluxe materials are still very much the fabric of the brand, but iLiv’s coordinated, mix and match model meets the needs of modern day lifestyle to make interior design that bit easier.

Wallpaper: Dimensions, Helix, $87 per roll

Wallpaper: Country Manor, $67 per roll

Now, interior designers and consumers can find their perfect match with inspirational designs. iLiv’s three newest bespoke collections for Spring/ Summer 2016 are a great place to start.

The wallpaper is non-woven, pastethe-wall and is designed and printed in the UK. It can be mixed and matched with luxury fabrics for all pieces of the interiors jigsaw.

Lovers of olde worlde looks will no doubt fall for the Floral Pavilion collection, which encapsulates the current trend for all things vintage. It features archive florals teamed with beautiful hand drawn digital birds, with matching fabrics on cotton chintz and basket weave base cloths. The five colorways – Antique, Aqua, Cobalt, Ebony and Poppy – have been intelligently designed to work in all rooms of the house.

In contrast to the antique stylings of Floral Pavilion, Dimensions is a sleek collection of contemporary weaves, decorative velvets and, of course, surface print wallpapers. Stylish, sumptuous and three-dimensional, colour palettes include Ink, Ivory, Flint and Mulberry.

The third and final new collection for Spring/Summer 2016 is Country Manor.

Faded prints and timeless cotton checks and stripes create a time worn antique feel, while the muted palette includes shades of warm, ruby red and grape, through to subtle flint grey and cooler dusk blue.

Traditional patterns, such as the C Brewers & Son Toile, have been reinvigorated for a contemporary style with a new palette of colors, including shades of grey and blue, a delicate shade of lilac, and the soft buttery yellow. After making its mark in 2015, yellow is set to continue to brighten walls throughout SS16, making it a key shade for the sunbleached trend.

LITTLE GREENE

ARCHIVE TRAILS ‘Archive Trails’ from Little Greene: an archive-inspired anthology of English and French trailing wallpaper motifs

O

ver the past decade, Little Greene has established a tradition for sourcing authentic archive wallpaper designs and adapting their patterns and colors to suit 21st century living. As its name suggests, the tenth collection, ‘Archive Trails’, is a celebration of floral trail wallpapers, which have been drawn from a number of highly respected sources, including English Heritage and Manchester’s Whitworth Art Gallery. Marrying designs from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, this harmonious portfolio of seven wallpapers, in multiple colorways, encapsulates the enduring popularity of trailing floral and bird motifs in surface design.

Trailing florals have been the subject of decorative pattern since long before the mechanisation of wallpaper production

and the ensuing fashion for repeating pattern. Traditionally, the scenes depicted in early 18th century interiors were painted by hand—effectively, bespoke murals.

In the early 19th century, regimented trellis and smaller, geometric patterns celebrated the new uniformity that could be achieved by machine printing.

However, as techniques became more sophisticated towards the middle of the century, some classic rococo and baroque elements—in particular ornate flowers and exotic bird motifs— enjoyed a resurgent popularity. In the careful redrawing of these seven historical designs, ‘Archive Trails’ champions both the discovery and subsequent rediscovery of flamboyant floral wallpaper patterns.

Each design has prescribed its own print techniques to achieve a timeless surface finish of the highest quality.

Alongside the ‘Colors Of England’, a palette of coordinating paint shades, this collection can lift the walls of traditional and contemporary homes alike.

David Mottershead, MD of Little Greene, enthuses: ‘We have established a tradition for unearthing document designs and breathing new life into them. Oversized florals coupled with exotic birds are traditional and yet very much on-trend right now. Working closely with a team of experts, we have been able to recreate archive fragments in a contemporary yet enduring way and have incorporated colors and scales to suit modern day interiors.’

WALLPAP ERDIRECT.COM 29

LITTLE GREENE Archive Trails Designs Darwin (c1760) represents one of the Whitworth Art Gallery’s most important recent acquisitions. English in origin, this piece was found intact in a house in Aix-en-Provence, France.

The exotic scene imitates a typical 18th century, hand-painted Chinese paper, and the colors interpreted in the ‘Serein’ colorway are true to the original.

Gustav (c1875) was found in poor condition in a Jacobean manor in Wimbledon and is estimated to date back to the mid-late 18th century. It bears the hallmarks of a classic block print, but in fact ized some of the flowers “O ve r s e d w it h on the original l p u o c were painted florals ird s are b by hand and c i t o x e ye t superimposed as al an d n o i t i d part of a decorative d t ra o n - t re n h c border. The scale u m ve r y of the pattern is w” r i ght n o reminiscent of a large damask design, but the muted colorways adapted for ‘Archive Trails’ allow this paper to be used extensively, without overpowering a room.

China Rose (c1885) is a flamboyant floral taken from a late 19th century French, hand-painted ‘Peking Stripe’ fabric with a distinct Chinese influence.

The distressed colors in the leaves and petals are contrasted with the modernday use of mica and metallic inks in some colorways.

Sakura (c1936) is a pretty trail of matt leaves and delicate blossom originating in France. The surface detail contributes to its layered depth, whilst the coloration retains an elegant informality.

Vine (c1932) unmistakably nods to William Morris, father of the Arts & Crafts movement. An authentic surface print technique has been used to reproduce this contemporary version, with the blue colorway being very close to the original.

Paradise (c1940) is an English Heritageowned, 20th century document that celebrates a rich mix of styles, combining the oriental ho-ho birds of classic Chinoiserie with the coloration of 19th century French paper. This design retains the original’s

30 WALLPAP ERDIRECT.COM

Wallpaper: Sakura, Yellow Lustre, $142 per roll

oversized repeat and has been reproduced in six stunning colorways.

Stitch (c1940) is inspired by embroidered chintz cottons. The use of stippling (dot-work) was popular in embroidery and printing, particularly at a time when block printing was seen as an indication of status. The use of two print colors makes this paper especially easy to coordinate with paint colors and other elements in the room.

HOLDEN

Holden Decor

Holden Decor is a proud partner for the Albany brand and Wallpaperdirect, a relationship that has developed for over 15 years with many of the Holden lines featured in the Albany brand collections

Wallpaper: Albany, Cassara, 98511, $57 per roll

D

erek Holden established Holden Decor 25 years ago, and he continues to head the company.

From the outset, Holden Decor has held a reputation for innovation, providing beautifully designed, high-quality wall coverings at an affordable price. With the largest wallpaper design resource in the UK at their fingertips, the Holden Decor team are well known for creating a wide array of products that take inspiration from around the globe.

Never standing still, Holden Decor is embarking on a major product development and branding exercise in 2016, which will kick off this Spring with the launch of a family of four unique, yet complementary, brands that all come under the umbrella of Holden Decor Limited.

New this season from Holden is a contemporary collection of paste-thewall wallpapers that offer a fresh look to the Oriental theme by incorporating

highlights from micas, metallic effects and glitters. Featured in this collection is the bold ‘Acurous’ design, with its montage of flowers and butterflies (see overleaf).

Also from Holden, there is a new modern botanical range of paste-the-wall wallpapers that takes inspiration from nature. The ‘Cassara’ design makes use of the latest raised ink effect to highlight certain features within the imagery, such as the stems of the dandelions, WALLPAP ERDIRECT.COM 37

HOLDEN

to enhance the natural look and feel of the wallpaper. The striking Liatris design offers a different spin on the feather theme with its soft, floating feather motif and the elegant Rosco is a woodland stripe.

Four Walls, a new brand in the family, is announcing its launch with a luxurious collection of textural paste-the-wall wallpapers. Their tactile reliefs, glitters and high-shine metallic effects promise to inject drama into any interior. Shown here is the ‘Mandalla’ design, with a structured lace effect medallion in both raised matt and flat metallic finishes. The scale may be bold, but it is perfectly balanced by the delicacy of the design.

In the past, the Opus Italian heavyweight vinyl collections from the Holden stable have been incorporated into Albany, and currently they have a range of these beautiful, quality designs in their stock book Albany Romantica. This collection includes both traditional and contemporary floral designs, together with damasks and a full range of co-ordinating textural plains.

Ask Alise...

Q A

alise@wallpaperdirect.com

What is paste the wall?

Thomas, Newark NJ Paste the wall or non-woven product is a new technology where the wallcovering is created by combining wood fibre with man-made fibre. The resulting product does not expand when adhesive is applied and so there is no need to leave it to soak before hanging it on your wall. As it does not need to soak this makes it much easier and quicker to use and so perfect for doing your own decorating.

They are called paste the wall but you can if you choose, paste the paper like any other wallcovering just don’t leave it to soak, but hang it straight away, whichever is easier for you or your installer.

Q A

Why do you recommend I back roll?

Katie, LA We always recommend you back roll a roll of wallpaper before pasting it because this encourages the roll to lie flat when you come to put the paste on. It also allows you to fully check the roll for any faults and ensures you have the design the correct way up to start.

Wallpaper does not always come off the roll, the right way up.

TI42PWALLPAPERDIRECT Remember wallpaper does not always come off the roll in the direction in which it will be hung.
