Graham and Brown ‘Wallpaper Week’ – Discovery trend

This week 5th – 11th October is Graham and Brown’s first ever Wallpaper Week. As an ambassador for the brand I would love to share with you some of the fabulous wall paper prints and designs they have created to dress our walls and brighten up our homes with.

“The 5th of October 2015 will see the inaugural Wallpaper Week take place. Celebrating all that is great in the world of wallpaper, from its design, craft and heritage to how it can transform a space for even the most novice decorator in a matter of hours.”

Graham and Brown have developed the ‘7 Feelings of Wallpaper’. Each day representing a different feeling

• Wednesday – Inspired
• Thursday – Nostalgic
• Friday – Funky
• Saturday – Glamorous
• Sunday – Social

I am a Friday’s child and the Friday Funky Feeling is definitely something I like to incorporate in my home, The vibrant shades and bold designs of the Funky Friday feeling are my number one choice for decor in my home.

I love the monochrome look with shades of limited colours or hues, In my eyes it is a sure-fire way to add impact and drama to your interior design. It can give an extremely classy feel to your home, whilst at the same time by carefully adding a few bold and sometimes obscure objects in a room it can add an eclectic, modern, edgy feel to a living space. Although it’s a simple palette, the question is what ‘style’ of Monochrome do you go for!

This flocked Skulls Black Wallpaper by Barbara Hulanicki is a fantastic way to add ‘fun’ and ‘funky’ to a room. I can imagine this on a feature wall in a lounge or even a bedroom. I would add statement pieces including a statement Retro telephone in black, oversized mirrors and quirky lighting.

This Eccentric Black / White print wallpaper has a more delicate, quirky, yet romantic feel. Perfect for a Monochrome bedroom or hallway as it has a lovely calming feeling to it and whilst been dramatic and funky it is not overpowering.

This unusual Monochrome wallpaper is entitled World Heritage Black/White has an extremely busy print, yet as it only features 2 colours it actually appears less busy to the eye than it actually is. This is one of my favourite wallpapers at the moment. If I was to decorate a room or wall with this particular design then it would definitely be a talking point when guests came to the house. I would make sure to keep any woodwork in a crisp white and feature silver or white furniture with only accents of black.   

 Accessories to complement the Discovery Trend ‘Funky Friday’ 

This striking typography cushion is perfect to bring a fun, quirky atmosphere into your home, In Keeping with the Monochrome look! The oversized Castle key adds a quirky feel to any room in the house. I have this key on the wall in my living room and it looks so much more expensive than the £20 price tag!

This Happiness Typo wall art is a key piece to any room where you are wanting to do the whole monochrome look. Adding more than one print to an area creates a real statement point.
