"Wall Effects" is an inspiring and informative guide to the decorative techniques, offering ideas on how to revitalize your old walls, create an eye-catching or simple background, or merely add a touch of visual interest to your room. Walls define a room and mark out separate zones within a home. In addition, they are also blank canvases that can define or enhance room design, and we are now beginning to pay them due attention and consideration. Alongside, this is a revival of decorating techniques and styles that, until recently, were thought of as old-fashioned and fussy - paint techniques such as sponging, colour washing, textured cork tiles, and, at the forefront, wallpaper. "Wall Effects" will show you how to use these techniques with confidence and style and in a contemporary manner. Divided into the four main themes of decorating - pattern, texture, colour and style - this book explains techniques used to create these effects, as well as how to combine effects to create a more distinctive look. Katie Ebben describes how a bold single image can be treated almost as a piece of art, as well as how to use plaster, sand and crackle finishes to achieve a subtle, textural interest. The chapter on colour covers the resurgence of traditional colour schemes as well as the more modern bold and minimalist approaches. Styles such as new romanticism, modern rustic or retro are another popular approach to interior design, and Katie shows you how to extend them to your walls. Innovative, yet very simple projects illustrate the techniques in each chapter, while the Techniques section provides all the background information you will need to execute your own projects with confidence. From varnishes to pigments, flock wallpaper to colour washing, "Wall Effects" will give your walls the courage to stand out and be noticed.

This book is a fascinating insight into a subject rarely covered in books on interior design. The term 'wallpaper' encompasses everything from printed lining papers to computer-aided limited editions. It covers lavish flocks, exquisite Chinese hand-painted paper, the perennially popular designs of William Morris, the first washable machine-printed papers and embossed wall-coverings, from gilt leather to Anaglypta.

From modest beginnings, wallpaper developed to become a commonplace of the domestic interior from castle to cottage, a means of transcending or enhancing the immediate architectural environment. The book is lavishly illustrated with images of wallpapers, many from the V&A's collections, as well as artists' impressions of interiors, documentary photographs of rooms past and present, posters, trade cards and sample books. It is an invaluable source book for anyone interested in the role of wallpaper in decorative schemes, and gives a lively account of the social history of wallpaper and the part it has played in domestic lives.

Wallpaper has never been more desirable. Throughout their 300-year history, patterned paper wallcoverings have alternated wildly between being absolutely 'of the moment' or totally out of fashion. Recently, after more than a decade of blank white walls and minimalism, wallpaper has made a grand comeback - and its popularity shows no signs of abating. In this stunning book - the ultimate guide to wallpaper - Charlotte Abrahams gets to the heart of the exciting contemporary wallpaper scene. Dividing the book into the three main areas of design - pasted pictures, fabulous florals and architectural illusions - she starts each section with what is happening now, then traces the history back through the key moments, developments, designers and manufacturers to the origins of the style. New young designers and established manufacturers, funky new layered images and classic designs, the latest visual technology and hand-painted historical scenes - all are discussed and illustrated. Each section also explains how to use this type of wallpaper in a variety of ways and rooms to obtain different effects. Expert advice on working out colour schemes, mixing florals with geometrics, using large and small prints, zoning and other techniques is included. Each section ends with full-page photographs of the 48 best wallpapers in this area (a mix of contemporary and classic). Over 200 wallpapers are included and every one is itemised in an illustrated source list giving details of design and manufacturer, with contact details, websites and where to purchase. All the wallpapers featured are available worldwide. Illustrated throughout with stunning wallpaper designs and beautiful rooms, this book really will be the ultimate guide to wallpaper.

From acclaimed French interior designer and decorative arts historian, Florence de Dampierre comes an inspiring collection of the best decorative wall treatments.

Throughout history, there has been a desire to express the esprit of a period by decorating the walls of our homes. From Italianate murals in Renaissance villas and the whimsical painted panels of the Musée Carnavalet to English Arts and Crafts wallpaper and Frederic Church’s stencilled homestead Olana, noted connoisseur de Dampierre shows how decorating walls can transform an interior space to dramatic effect that harmoniously creates a rich, sophisticated look. Walls covers a sampling of premier decorative wall designs from around the world that have evolved over the centuries, including fresco, wood panelling, stencilling, and wallpaper.

De Dampierre has chosen the best examples that have proven to be the most inspirational and relevant for today’s home interior design. Sidebars will cover such topics as lacquering; chair mouldings, pediments, and cornices; borders and friezes; hand-painted linen and cotton hangings; tooled leather, and toile. Each chapter will end with such practical advice as mixing pigments, application tips, maintenance, and restoration. Beautifully photographed, the book offers innumerable wall treatment ideas that can be seamlessly integrated with furnishings of modern interiors to create an original ambience.

Christiane de Nicolaÿ-Mazery’s What a Beautiful World! offers an intimate look inside the boldly designed spaces of Isabelle d’Ornano’s life, from the personal to the professional.

Isabelle d’Ornano, cofounder of the French skin care brand Sisley, has created places in her life as unique as they are exceptional. For the first time, d’Ornano opens the doors to her personal, family, and professional spaces — from the heart of a Paris apartment to a country house and genuine paradise in nature — in this beautiful, richly illustrated book. This intimate journey goes to London and ends in Paris in the headquarters of Sisley, which she created with her husband, Hubert.

In each of these places, the magic encompassing the luxurious and the spectacular introduces us to the artists and personalities whose friendships bookmark the milestones of d’Ornano’s life. Here, beauty reigns and lives through collages, paintings, watercolors, and sculptures, and even on cushions adorned with messages embroidered by d’Ornano. Punctuated by d’Ornano’s words and mantras, this book is a formidable source of inspiration for decoration enthusiasts and for those attracted to the contrasts, boldness, and talent of Isabelle d’Ornano’s life.

Morris created highly distinctive designs for wallpapers and textiles, many of which are still enjoying enormous popularity today. Through his company Morris & Co., he contributed to the transformation of interior design at the end of the 19th-century and gave expression to the ideas of the Arts and Crafts Movement. This highly accessible text looks at pattern and colour, as well as sources of inspiration such as nature, literature and legend. It also offers a fascinating insight into his working practices which were so different from those of many of his Victorian contemporaries. His desire to make beautiful things was at the core of his enterprise and his subtle colour schemes and evocative designs, many of which are still in production, have a timeless appeal. Specially commissioned photography captures many of his designs in situ, as well as in close-up detail, and this new introduction to the work of William Morris should provide a wealth of ideas and inspiration for contemporary homeowners.

In the history of the decorative arts, there has never been another designer who has achieved such lasting impact. While lamenting the excesses of mass-production, he set up the firm of Morris, Marshall, Faulkner and Company. Soon it was producing a range of goods, from hand-woven tapestries, carpets and printed textiles to stained glass, metalwork and furniture. What the company offered was quite simply a way of life. 

In 'William Morris and the Arts & Crafts Home', Pamela Todd celebrates Morris’s genius for decoration and design and shows how he envisaged and implemented schemes for interiors in his own homes and those of others, passionately believing that beautiful surroundings promoted creativity and happiness. 

To demonstrate how the style can be applied to our living spaces today a series of ‘Case Studies’ explores six contemporary homes – from a modern London townhouse to a traditional Arts and Crafts house in Massachusetts – that have followed and adapted Morris’s guiding principles.
