The perfect wallcovering can breathe life into a room like no individual furnishing can. In the luxury end of the wallpaper space, you’ll find designs that transform the ordinary into the breathtaking and take decoration to an art form.
But what kind of wallpapers are available? And how do you harmonise these high-end pieces with the rest of an interior?
In this piece, we’ll look at six inspirational De Gournay wallpaper ideas to spark your creativity and offer a glimpse into what’s possible. We’ll also look at how to blend these beautiful designs into a complete aesthetic.
Floral designs like Adelaide (from the Purnyon Chateau papers) are inspired by period wall coverings found in some of France’s most luxurious chateaus. Bold designs preserve historic charm while still working beautifully in a modern space. For best results, consider placing them in spaces where they can become the focal point, such as accent walls or feature areas.
Gorgeous scenic prints like ‘Paradise Lost’ in Celeste colourway on scenic paper are inspired by the artwork of 19th-century exploration. Always a talking point, prints like this work amazingly with houseplants and should be paired with minimalist furniture to avoid a busy aesthetic. Brushed gold furnishings work to heighten the luxury and accentuate the cool palette of the print.
Geometric patterns like Azusa work to add depth and interest without detracting from furniture and other statement pieces around the room. Shades of grey as in the below image are extremely versatile and work particularly well with brassy and autumnal colours.
Hand-painted murals like Flight (Blue Heron on Marshmallow Manila Hemp) make a room feel truly alive and bring depth to open spaces in the home. Combine them with wooden flooring and brassy or brushed-gold fixtures for a warm, welcoming feel.
Abstract pints such as Features Vallarta Blue look fresh and inspiring when paired with simple bright whites and monochrome details. The hand-drawn design is exciting enough to create intrigue without being garish or over the top.
Embroidered upholstery-based wallcoverings like Deco Palms are handmade and then stretched onto wall spaces to create texture and detail. The result is a richly layered surface that adds a tactile element to the room, making the space feel ultra luxurious. Let them shine by contrasting them with smoother textures.
To create a true feeling of calm, opt for shades of blue or green and repeating patterns. This Dorset-inspired wallpaper, Hornbeam, evokes the tranquil countryside of the English south. Contrasting shades of blue create a textured effect that reveals itself to be hornbeam trees on closer inspection. Pair with flat egg-shell cabinetry, and light-coloured woodwork for added tranquillity.
Cutting-edge wall coverings deserve the professional touch.
