I’ve always loved wallpaper, whether it’s in fashion or out. How can it be out of fashion? That’s a strange concept to me as surely wallpaper brings warmth and a tactile quality to a room that paint just can’t do? Even a very plain wallpaper seems to give a room more depth and oomph, for want of a better word.

Calico Wallpaper (founded by Rachel and Nick Cope) specialise in custom fit, non-repeating murals that are seriously gorgeous, and seriously pricy. Not for the majority of use but something to drool over, and of course, high end products filter down and are recreated in more affordable designs. The initial collection was inspired by centuries old paper marbling techniques from Japan and Turkey. Unique handmade patterns have been digitally enlarged to create custom murals. Subsequent collections embody these traditions and techniques to give a truly remarkable living space.
