Not Your Usual Wall Flowers
Walls are making a comeback and grasping the limelight, becoming blank canvases where the possibilities are endless and the options are boundless. Stencil your favorite Victorian design right onto your bedroom wall or bring a new degree of warmth and coziness into your living room by adorning your walls with elegant textured panels. If your walls could talk they would say “thank you”

NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND MATERIALS offer thrilling points of departure in vertical embellishment this season, from bold graphic papers and riotous laser-cut blooms to sumptuous pleated textiles and versatile upholstered panels. Cole & Son unveils the hand-screen-printed Fornasetti collection; Maya Romanoff collaborates with New York architect David Rockwell for beautifully stitched handmade papers; and vinyl graphics from Tord Boontje remind us that modernism need not be minimal.
