SUNA INTERIOR DESIGN _ARGENT _GASHOLDERS LONDON_BED TWO 003.jpg — World of Wallpapers

16.6.21

There’s a world of wallpapers out there, it can be a little bit mindblowing, even for us hardened interior designers.
But rest assured, the right paper is out there for you, and maybe we can help narrow down the longlist to something a little more manageable.

We asked some of our team to choose some of their stick-in-the-mind favourites, the ones that when we walked into the room we did little jigs for joy.
The ones we just KNEW, when we were looking at a teeny tiny sample of paper in our fabric room, would be incredible at full room scale. From murals to florals, here’s our top pick.

(Wallpaper above is ‘Thistle’ from Timorous Beasties, as seen in our Gasholders penthouse project for Argent
I have just snuck this one in there because I couldn’t choose just one below - Rebecca)

HELEN FEWSTER, DIRECTOR

“I have always LOVED this wallpaper, it’s been around for a while and been used a lot in many show homes and commercial spaces but I feel we updated it a bit by breaking it up into panels for this cafe space”

PROJECT : Beechwood Grove, Caversham for Fabrica
WALLPAPER : ‘Bellewood’ by Rebel Walls

ELLA BARTRON, INTERIOR DESIGNER FOR SHOW HOMES

“I love this one from Remix Helix marketing suite. The colour and linearity of the wallpaper works so perfectly with the rest of the seating area.”

PROJECT : Remix Helix, Harlesden for Hyde New Homes
WALLPAPER : ‘Colour Stream’ from Rebel Walls

REBECCA TUCKER, DIRECTOR

“So hard to choose just one, I am a bit of a wallpaper groupie, but given a push I would have to go for a Timorous Beastie design, and then shove me further and I will choose their Urban Chaos wallpaper.
At first glance a toile wallpaper, but zoom in on the details and you have a guy on a BMX, someone with a ladder, and some TV aerials thrown in for good measure.”

PROJECT : Gasholders Penthouse, Kings Cross for Argent
WALLPAPER : Urban Chaos by Timorous Beasties (now discontinued but they have plenty of tongue-in-cheek-toiles over on their website)

STEVEN PEPPER, LEAD DESIGNER FOR SPEC

“The concrete effect wallpaper on the ceiling in the Wing show home for Hyde New Homes in Camberwell for me. You never said it actually had to be on the wall, so don't see why I can't vote for this one!
This is a great example of what makes us so flippin' great! It's really simple and cost-effective, but my God, it makes such a difference to the space.
This really adds another dimension to what could have otherwise been quite a stark kitchen. The massive ceiling heights were a big USP on this scheme - this made damn sure no one missed them!”

WALLPAPER : ‘Wooden Concrete’ by Rebel Walls

SUE WYLIE, LEAD DESIGNER FOR AMENITIES AND MARKETING SUITES

“Well, being the tree hugging hippy at heart that I am, this is my favourite. Some might say it is a cliche to bring the outdoors in,
but I just find this calming classic backdrop works well against the dynamic cabinetry and sleek lounge chair”

PROJECT : Royal Hill Park, Redhill for Countryside Properties
WALLPAPER : ‘Pago’ by Tres Tintas

ALYSHA DAVIES, INTERIOR DESIGNER FOR SHOW HOMES

“This one is my favourite – an oldie but a goodie! Love the rich colours and picturesque country imagery mixed with the more modern furniture”

PROJECT : Riverlight Quay, Nine Elms for Optivo
WALLPAPER : ‘Verdure’ in Tapestry Green by Zoffany

JESSICA BELL, SENIOR DESIGNER FOR SHOW HOMES
AND
Freya Stevens, Interior Designer for show homes

This one is so good that two people chose it! Jess says, “I love this punchy yellow number which brings in such a bold, fun colour, but in a sophisticated artisanal way”
Freya says, “I love this wallpaper that we recently installed for Telereal Trillium. It’s such a great colour and the pattern is so pleasing to look at, and I really love that we have put it in a kitchen! So good.”

PROJECT : Irene Studios, Balham for Telereal Trilium
WALLPAPER : ‘Nuages’ by Pierre Frey

ANNA VON WERTHERN, INTERIOR DESIGNER FOR RESI AMENITIES AND MARKETING SUITES

“I adore the black and white graphic wallpaper in this show home. It just packs an absolute punch, framing the bed!”

PROJECT : Irene Studios, Balham for Telereal Trilium
WALLPAPER : ‘Cool Doodle’ by Hovia

LETTY WALTON, SENIOR DESIGNER FOR SHOW HOMES

“I absolutely love this wallpaper, I find it so enchanting and I like how it expresses a narrative beautiful backdrop for a dining room”

PROJECT : Mill View, Dereham for Orbit Homes
WALLPAPER : ‘The Brook’ in dark blue by Morris & Co
