About this title

Synopsis

Wallpaper & Wallcoverings is packed full of creative design ideas for walls in every room of the home, with tips and techniques for contemporary applications of everything from paper and paint to fabric and light-projected images. Beginning with the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century imports of toile de Jouy, damask and chintz from the Far East, the book examines the evolution and major influences of wallpaper and wallcoverings in the West. William Morris's organic hand-blocked prints, the geometric patterns of the 1950s and the hippie-trippy flowers of the 1960s and 1970s, among others, are used to show the impact of historical styles on modern wallcoverings. With a brilliant combination of lively and informative text and beautiful, inspiring photographs, Wallpaper & Wallcoverings illustrates the versatility
