With superb projects and more than 200 color photos, this stunning showcase presents the best contemporary wallpaper designs. The rich variety of patterns ranges from modern geometrics to feminine florals, from reflective metallics to designs that imitate stucco and wood. Better yet are the clever ideas for using the papers, including applying them in vertical strips, creating a patchwork pattern, and covering just half a wall. Or, for something different, use paper other than conventional manufactured wallpaper, such as old maps and sheet music. And remember: wallpaper isn't just for walls, so there are suggestions for transforming small accessories too. Even the most intimidated will find the instructions easy enough to follow. "Well-illustrated instructions on the basics."--Library Journal

Infused with vintage charm, and inspired by wall coverings in London's prestigious Victoria and Albert Museum, Wallpaper Colorways offers artists an array of choices to satisfy their creative hunger. Just like real wallpaper, which comes in a variety of hues, each pattern in this coloring book appears multiple times--in four smaller images and one big one--encouraging you to experiment with color combinations.

If you love to colour, and enjoy experimenting with palettes and combinations, then this surprising and beautiful colouring book is for you. Discover twenty wallpapers in classic designs spanning the decades, from the 18th century to the present day. For each design there are several options to try different colour combinations, and in addition, each is accompanied by a room furnished for the era. The walls are yours to complete in the colours of your choice. And watch out for signs of their occupants: they have left a few clues!
