Media reviews

Praise for Wallpaper

"Most impressive is the collection of 150 fill-size reproduction of the best contemporary wallpapers with detailed information of where to buy each." --Telegraph

"There is no doubt that wallpaper is enjoying something of a renaissance, and Charlotte Abrahams ably captures the zeitgeist ...with a look at current trends, before deconstructing the history of each theme." --House & Garden

"Enjoyable ... and fun" --World of Interiors

"Wallpaper, The Ultimate Guide celebrates wallpaper in all it's glory- from its history, to the most popular styles, to the latest manufacturers- it's a visual feast of wallpaper mania." --Maison21 Blog

"Respected style writer Charlotte Abrahams takes readers through the 500 year history from the early 'Dominoes' printed from wooden blocks and carbon ink, the the graphic patterns, plush textures and metallic prints of today. Charlotte's guide is an invaluable source on the plethora of styles and types of wallpaper available and the multitude of ways to use them. With practical tips and tricks for installing the paper and creative ideas to use it in unconventional ways - using just a small panel, or using a cutout graphic such as an animal silhouette, or even taking it off the walls and using it to dress up cabinets and furniture. It definitely opened my eyes to a world of possibilities that I'd previously overlooked. With hundred of full size colour samples of some of the most influential prints, this book will send your mind reeling with all the possibilities to explore. Whether you're searching for inspiration for a current project, or simply a design lover exploring this beautiful art form, no doubt this book will become a go-to reference." --escapade Blog
