DECORATING
Architectural motifs are big news for fabrics and wallpapers – think statuesque columns, graceful arches and more detailed cityscapes

SET THE SCENE
The lakes of northern Italy set the tone for this design featuring traditional lakeside villas complete with stone colonnades adorned with climbing wisteria. We suggest teaming the sculptural shapes and sun-bleached colour palette evoking sunny days by the water with curvaceous furniture and accessories in toning shades for an exciting yet considered decorating scheme.
SCALE UP
A large room can take a panoramic mural, especially in monochrome, so cover the whole space instead of just a statement wall. Despite the scale, this Greek ruin illustration is subtle in its light grey sketchy style and is tempered further by the tonal paint used on the ceiling and woodwork.
SCREEN SHOT
Create impact without the commitment of redecoration by introducing a screen covered in a bold image. Soften the look with coloured upholstery in a print from the same design family.
MURALS
STATELY STYLE
Use a trompe l’oeil wallpaper anywhere in your home to give the illusion of a wider space. The Parisian building facades in this design can be matched infinitely, every 134cm, to suit your specifications. Elevate your decoration further with a statement chandelier.
ROOF REPEAT
Patterns don’t need to exist in isolation. With this in mind, hang a graphic modern artwork on top of a mid-scale, densely repeated design in the same colour group for an original decorative approach.
TERRACOTTA TOWN
Warm up a cool room with a wallpaper in cocoa, brick and ochre hues. Spaces with dark ceilings – such as those with wooden beams – are lightened with the white expanse of space within the pattern, while the palette of warm colours stops it looking stark.
