Believe it or not, the layered and peeling gauze wall is faux, from a stunning new range of the world’s most exciting wallpaper designs that top international magazine editors and stylists are going nuts over.
If you covet timber moulding-style walls or colonnaded archways reminiscent of Mediterranean villas, why fork out for expensive materials when you can get the illusion with amazing trompe l’oeil papers for a fraction of the cost of the real thing. From understated opulence to all-out glamour, you’ll find plenty of super on-trend options to enliven your interiors.
The Italian company has just released its latest knockout collection of designs including peeling gauze, colonnades, moulded timber panels, landscape abstractions, from flowers to butterflies and palms, even its own take on Babilonia.
The faux designs are an ideal way for adding texture and richness to spaces. Great for softening walls too, as well as concealing surfaces that have wonky plasterwork or crazy cracks (cheaper than replastering).
They are the kind of thing you can expect to constantly see popping up in all our fave lifestyle magazines from UK Elle Decoration to Elle Décor Italia in the coming months.
Our picks? Seek out Eyes in the Dark, Cardo Maximus, Chronus, Novecento, and In Sight, a great option for a child’s bedroom when you don’t want anything too childish. Then there’s Stonehenge, La Famiglia Pois and Historia. Ideal for adding instant glamour, richness and individuality to any space. Wallanddeco.com
