Description
We agonise and argue when choosing it; we admire, compliment and criticise it (or keep politely quiet about it); and the rest of the time we don't even notice it.
Wallpaper has been the backdrop to our homes for hundreds of years.
It can make a house feel cosy or trendy, modern or traditional, and it is one of the key elements of home d cor through which to express personal taste.
Despite the threat from plain-painted minimalism, wallpaper maintains a strong presence in modern domestic decoration.
Zo Hendon traces the history of wallpaper in Britain and its foremost designers, examining how social mobility and new technologies have influenced design trends.
From early Chinoiserie, through William Morris and on to the 'feature wall', this book looks at wallpaper's surprisingly controversial place in shaping our sense of home.
