70s style

Think groovy swirls, nostalgic florals and psychedelic motifs – Lust Home’s 70s Style collection is a celebration of nostalgic pattern and colour. Let your inner hippie go wild with these daring designs in warm colourways – from burnt orange and vivid mustard to classic avocado.

“Wallpaper is the perfect way to add some 70s style to your kitchen, bathroom or bedroom,” says Amy. “The scale of designs means they pair perfectly with metro tiles in the kitchen or bathroom and the calming colour palettes make for a peaceful bedroom setting. Lean into the full nostalgia of the designs and style with thrifted pieces or go for a contrast with contemporary finishings.”

Eye-catching designs

Infuse your interiors with some serious charm using Annika Reed Studio’s new Dancing Queen wallpaper collection. The designs feature squiggly stripes, cross stitches and floral whimsy. “The inspiration for Dancing Queen emerges from finding the extraordinary in the ordinary, creating a personal celebration of tradition, joy and the liberating dance within the home,” says Annika Reed, the artist and founder of the brand.

“The entire collection encourages you to step outside of your comfort zone, embrace the dance of life and inject a burst of vivacity into your living space. My favourite pattern is Wiggly Squiggly. I’m about to transform my downstairs WC and I can’t help but love the dynamic movement it brings,” she says.

Vintage-inspired wallpaper

Piglet in Bed has debuted its first collection of re-imagined heritage prints, made to order in the UK and using eco-friendly inks. Picture colourful gingham, fun stripes and pretty florals, which are perfect for adding a romantic touch to your master bedroom, while dainty hand-painted motifs are great for reviving your little one’s space. So dreamy, right?

Tranquil escape

Craving a getaway? Clarke & Clarke has joined forces with US interior designer and television host Breegan Jane to launch a new collection of wallpaper and fabrics. Inspired by Breegan’s travels and philanthropic work, the designs are a riot of print and colour.

Your cheat sheet of decorating with patterns

Don’t know where to start decorating using patterned wallpaper? Luckily, Annika shares her top tips…

• Balancing patterns is crucial for a cohesive visual appeal – blend bold prints with subtler ones for a harmonious effect.
• Consider the scale of patterns in relation to the room size to avoid overpowering or underwhelming effects. Remember, large patterns suit spacious rooms, while smaller ones work well in more compact spaces.
• Maintain a unified look by sticking to a consistent colour palette. Choose a colour from the wallpaper or a contrasting hue for the ceiling, creating a cohesive and tranquil atmosphere.
• Strategically position furniture to complement wallpaper patterns, ensuring a seamless flow in the design.
• Embrace artwork on top of wallpaper for visual impact.
• When using patterned wallpaper in multiple rooms, you need to ensure a smooth transition. Consistency in colour or theme fosters a cohesive flow, resulting in a unified and pleasing aesthetic.
• Test wallpaper samples in the actual space before committing.

Feeling extra? Why not give pattern clashing a try to create a truly statement design? “The key to pattern clashing is to start with your hero print,” advises Amy Holton, head of creative at Lust Home. “Keep a consistent colour running throughout. Allow space for the patterns to breathe – prints made from texture such as a woven element are a great way to do this. Vary the scale of your designs to ensure they’re only clashing and not fighting,” she adds.
