  • Hardcover

Throughout their 300-year history, patterned paper wallcoverings have alternated wildly between being absolutely 'of the moment' or totally out of fashion. Recently, after more than a decade of blank white walls and minimalism, wallpaper has made a grand comeback - and its popularity shows no signs of abating.

This stunning book gets to the heart of the exciting contemporary wallpaper scene. Dividing the book into the three main areas of design - pasted pictures, fabulous florals and architectural illusions each section starts with what is happening now, then traces the history back through the key moments, developments, designers and manufacturers to the origins of the style. New young designers and established manufacturers, funky new layered images and classic designs, the latest visual technology and hand-painted historical scenes.

Each section also explains how to use this type of wallpaper in a variety of ways and rooms to obtain different effects. Expert advice on working out color schemes, mixing florals with geometrics, using large and small prints, zoning and other techniques is included.

Praise for Wallpaper

"Most impressive is the collection of 150 fill-size reproduction of the best contemporary wallpapers with detailed information of where to buy each." --Telegraph

"There is no doubt that wallpaper is enjoying something of a renaissance, and Charlotte Abrahams ably captures the zeitgeist ...with a look at current trends, before deconstructing the history of each theme." --House & Garden

"Enjoyable ... and fun" --World of Interiors

"Wallpaper, The Ultimate Guide celebrates wallpaper in all it's glory- from its history, to the most popular styles, to the latest manufacturers- it's a visual feast of wallpaper mania." --Maison21 Blog

"Respected style writer Charlotte Abrahams takes readers through the 500 year history from the early 'Dominoes' printed from wooden blocks and carbon ink, the the graphic patterns, plush textures and metallic prints of today. Charlotte's guide is an invaluable source on the plethora of styles and types of wallpaper available and the multitude of ways to use them. With practical tips and tricks for installing the paper and creative ideas to use it in unconventional ways - using just a small panel, or using a cutout graphic such as an animal silhouette, or even taking it off the walls and using it to dress up cabinets and furniture. It definitely opened my eyes to a world of possibilities that I'd previously overlooked. With hundred of full size colour samples of some of the most influential prints, this book will send your mind reeling with all the possibilities to explore. Whether you're searching for inspiration for a current project, or simply a design lover exploring this beautiful art form, no doubt this book will become a go-to reference." --escapade Blog
