Wallpaper With A Contemporary Twist

By Danny Proffet


Zoffany wallpaper has traditionally been utiliSed to recreate old style looks for country houses and has therefore always been a popular choice with National Trust properties. Zoffany designs are based on quality, elegance and heritage, and so are becoming increasingly popular with present day homes choosing a classic twist on their contemporary look. The latest collection is inspired by the Elizabethan era in the late 16th century, and features elaborate designs and striking horizontal striped patterns.

Zoffany wallpaper is incredibly versatile, since its beautiful and chic designs can suit a multitude of properties, whether they are a five star hotel or a chocolate box cottage in the countryside. Not only is the wallpaper produced in striking black and white, but also rich and vibrant colours are available in a huge range of patterns and prints to accommodate all tastes.

Damask wallpaper is also manufactured using the key principles of quality, elegance and heritage. Damask is really a richly pattern fabric and was traditionally created using cotton, linen, silk and wool. Occasionally, silver or gold thread would be run through the pattern of the fabric in order to make a lavish finish. These days, the wallpaper is manufactured using synthetic, wipe-clean paper, however the traditional damask pattern continues to have a powerful presence. This practical wallpaper proves to be popular with families because it is low maintenance and easy to clean.

Damask wallpaper is also printed in a huge array of colours and patterns, and can be well suited for all sorts of styles and tastes. Modern metallics may suit a more contemporary home, whilst a rich and warm wallpaper may suit a more traditional style of home. This type of wallpaper is incredibly popular for use in a living room area or dining-room and is available in a number of DIY stores or specialist wallpaper shops.

As many people are choosing not to move house as a result of the recent recession, they are instead choosing to put money into their existing property. Updating the dcor of a room can dramatically boost the feel of a home and is a much cheaper and less stressful option than moving house.
