Spotted on Cup of Jo - this is Scrapwood Wallpaper, made in Holland, by Piet Hein Eek. Ever wanted that cool worn down timber look but didn't want to live in a run down, cold house to get it? This is your solution.

Here is a Cole and Son Ltd wallpaper that got a lot of media coverage - it is called Hummingbirds from A Collection of Flowers. It is rather sweet, traditional and danity.

Wallpaper - Marimekko

Marimekko Pienet Kivet

Marimekko Lumimarja

Due to several jobs I have on right now, I have been looking at a lot of wallpaper...

Wallpaper was not something I have used or recommended much of in the past, however due to several client's requests, that has changed. It has been great researching another decorative avenue and to find what I like. I have found some great options for some of my clients.

I thought I would do some wallpaper postings to show what I have seen. First up - the well known Finnish brand, Marimekko.

I received an email after this posting from Ben of Always Mod. They are a US based online retail store who specialises in Marimekko products. He let me know that they deliver to New Zealand. So if you liked the look of the wallpapers above or other Marimekko products, check them out here.

A client of mine has sourced this beautiful wallpaper called Growing/Falling from an Australian brand called Ilias. The red spots that you see at the top are flocked (raised pattern produced by dusting powdered wool over the partially sized surface) and gradually disperse down the wallpaper.
'Ilias' is the work of Ilias Fotopoulous - a designer or 'artist maker' who has created a textile and wallpaper range. He came to designing after a stint as a lawyer. His work is intriguing and he explains that his products are usually results of experimental and creative processes, in which he finishes with a product different from what he first imagined.
