WALL MAGIC

With the re-introduction of wallpaper into modern day interior design, creating a ´feature wall´ suddenly took on a whole new meaning.

Rather than simply painting a chimney breast a darker shade of chocolate brown, we could suddenly see a creative use for the new trend of brightly coloured and elaborately patterned wallpaper and voila! The feature wall was re-invented.

This is our selection of the best wallpapers in town: from designer brands to high street gems - we´ve sourced it all to show you just how fantastic wallpaper can be:

 1. Create your very own trompe l´oeil with wallpaper from Deborah Bowness - perfect for that feature wall. Or how about having fun in the bedroom with her ´Rose Dress Frock´ design or convincing your friends you have your very own library with ´Books´ - a ´genuine fake bookshelf´?

2. For a relaxed, feminine look, Jocelyn Warner has just the thing. Her nature-inspired prints are soothing but super stylish. Perfect for a living area or hallway were wallpaper is hung in large quantities.

3. Strong, geometric prints are right on trend and we love this new ´Cocoa & Gold´ wallpaper from the new ´Mode´ collection at Graham & Brown. Great in the bedroom teames with elaborate furniture and simple white bedlinen.

4. For the ultimate wow factor we think Welsh wallpaper designer, Michael Angrove deserves a special mention. His floral inspired wallpanels and wallpaper is awash with intricate detail and can even be gilded with 24 carat gold or platinum. We love the idea of one of his wallpanels as a feature wall in a bedroom or living area.
