Farrow & Ball has introduced the Broccato Papers, their latest collection of traditionally made wallpapers, uniquely crafted using Farrow & Ball paint printed onto paper.

Broccato Papers is comprised of six delightful wallpapers, inspired by the Italian Renaissance period.

Named after the Italian translation for ‘brocade’, all six designs within the collection are stimulated by the rich decorative fabrics featured in 14th and 15th century Renaissance paintings, housed at the National Gallery.

• There is a choice of ten colourways for each pattern, from soft neutrals and pretty pastels to bolder colours and metallic accents.

• The collection includes a number of new colours, including the soft mauve Brassica and lead-toned grey Plummett.

• Crivelli Rose in our picture is a classic brocade pattern, featuring extravagant plumes of oak tree and acorn motifs in majestic rosettes, linked by intricate wheat-inspired trellising.

• Crivelli Trellis the corresponding design, is a simple and delicate wheat-detailed trellis.

About
Farrow & Ball has been making paint in Dorset, England one batch at a time, since the company was founded and remains one of only a few companies making a full range of traditional and modern paint finishes of the highest quality.

The leading interiors company Harlequin has produced their first collection with Clarissa Hulse who is one of the brilliant British designers.

Kallianthi, which means ‘wild flowers’ in Ancient Greek, is a charming botanical-inspired collection, and demonstrates all her trademark style and distinctive characteristics; it will be launched at Decorex in September 2011.

Inspired by her love of plants, pressed flowers and all things botanical, long walks in the countryside and her half-Greek heritage, Clarissa has created a captivating range of prints, weaves and wallpapers, which manage to be simultaneously very modern, yet timeless in their appeal.

The superb fabrics are mainly printed or woven onto natural cloths such as silk dupion or linen/linen mix, often judiciously embellished with metallics.
They display Clarissa’s flair and unique way of interpreting the natural influences that inspire and enthuse her.

Motifs include: nettles, cow parsley, grasses, ferns, olive branches, wild flowers and herbs, depicted in Clarissa’s unique style, often silhouetted against a subtle ombré background.
There is also a distinctive ombré stripe design, which has been digitally printed to accommodate its 60 different colours, and two natural-coloured voiles, one of which is embellished with tiny beads, buttons and sequins.

The collection includes delightful wallpapers and is dominant both individually or when used in combination with the fabrics.

Ranging from a Rothko-esque ombré stripe to delicate grasses swaying gently in the breeze and tiny dappled leaves reflected on a wall, some enhanced with metallic inks.

They are all printed on non-woven paper, which is not only stable, so it does not expand when soaked, but also can be applied directly to a ready-pasted wall.

Over the years Clarissa has developed her own, highly individual colour palette, and nowhere is this more apparent than in Kallianthi, as the collection rejoices in glorious fusions of bright and bold, offset by pared back neutrals: tumeric, magenta, paprika and chartreuse; hot pinks, coral and stone; indigo, aqua, lime and ashes of roses; pebble and shocking pink; absinthe, citrine and putty; charcoal, ash and cloud.

Sandberg has announced the launch of Engla and Elliot, a charming collection of children’s fabrics and wallpapers, for summer 2011.

The Sandberg Studio has created an enchanting collection, inspired by the nostalgic influences of children’s storybooks from the 1950s, which tells a number of tales with-a-twist.

Engla and Elliot is a voyage of discovery for children and adults alike:

• The hand-drawn patterns are bursting with vivacity and a wonderful unbridled spirit of exploration.

• There are eight fabric designs, 13 wallpapers and four borders, all of which benefit from a suitably vivacious colour palette.

• They mix traditional with contemporary, and feature some totally charming and diverse motifs such as love-struck parrots, romantic circus horses and engaging elephants, a feast of cakes and candies, vintage cars, flower pots on parade, musical instruments, flags and letters of the alphabet; in fact something to inspire the imagination of children of all ages.

The new collection reflects Sandberg’s strong dedication to improving health and the environment: all the fabric designs are printed onto 100% organic cotton using environmentally-certified dyes, and the wallpapers are manufactured using sustainable resources from Scandinavian forests.

Why not update your home’s exterior or garden, with Farrow & Ball’s new colours this spring, to create trendy new looks in time for summer?

Their attractive and hard-wearing range of eco friendly exterior paint finishes, many available in all 132 paint colours, are produced using the same high quality ingredients as their interior finishes, enabling you to maintain the Farrow & Ball look for the outside of your home.

Farrow & Ball recommends the following colour combinations, to create wonderful schemes for doors and windows, exterior masonry and your garden:

Front Doors, Windows and Window Boxes

• Window boxes painted in colours like Card Room Green or Oval Room Blue will enhance any exterior, but be careful not to use more than three colours on the front of your house or it can begin to look confused.

• Paint your front door and window boxes the same colour, but try using two finishes for added interest – Full Gloss on the door and Exterior Eggshell on the boxes.

• Classic colours such as black and red are very smart for front doors - try Pitch Black and Incarnadine for a classic, stylish look.

• Other popular front door colours include Plummett, Studio Green, Black Blue and Hague Blue, which in Full Gloss could not be more elegant. On the other hand Blue Gray or Lichen in Exterior Eggshell will give a more relaxed and contemporary feel.

Exterior Masonry

• In keeping with its name, why not try Oxford Stone in Exterior Masonry Paint for exterior walls.

• For the urban exterior, try Manor House Gray on windows and frames with Railings on the front door, all in Exterior Eggshell. These colours work extremely well with Cornforth White on masonry, which is stylish but not too cold.

All 132 Farrow & Ball colours are available in Exterior Eggshell and Full Gloss, both of which can be used outside for your exterior doors, windows and garden furniture. The Exterior Masonry Paint is also available in over 100 colours.
