Posted on May 08, 2013
Lab technicians are generally perceived as slick-haired nerds with pocket protectors, but every now and then those lovable eggheads throw us a real gem. Belbien is a breakthrough product that has slowly climbed to world fame since it was developed around the time of the Bay City Rollers. Belbien is an extraordinary architectural cladding, a superior vinyl laminate that can be used on internal or external surfaces.

3d your walls with Patent wallpaper
Posted on September 22, 2012
Back in the 1990’s, we were shaking our junk to the beat of Beastie Boys, Destiny’s Child and for a short while Hanson (MMM Bop). Then suddenly, we took down our posters of Eminem and Ricky Martin to cover our walls in paint. Monochrome walls were everywhere, huge blocks of neutral colour began paving the way for wall-mounted plasmas and Bose speakers. It seemed that the paintbrush would rule forever, then creative interior design started to claw its way back. Today wallpaper has made a remarkable resurgence, bringing bold new designs and innovative products into the marketplace. But for times when you just have to paint, you can turn to a great product called Patent Décor. It’s a fully paintable range of hearty textures and captivating patterns that can take you way beyond the two dimensional world of flat colour.

She even saves wallpaper scraps and remnants and uses them on all kinds of surfaces in her apartment. To keep her pad interesting and cohesive, she uses different wallpapers in each room but keeps the design and colour scheme fairly consistent.

Imagine the scene. A fresh cartload of marigolds arrives at the mud hut. The hippies stop weaving their clothes for moment and stick a flower behind their hair. The stovetop bubbles away as the scent of mung beans and lentils drifts across the compound and people join hands to sing about the whale. Moonbeam and Rainbow dance across the untouched earth and more people arrive to surrender their possessions and hug the Sharing Tree. Sound like your town? Probably not, but you don’t have to go all barefoot and altruistic to save the planet. Why not start with your walls?

Wallpaper – the maligned millstone that refused to move with the times – that dodgy peeling relic cast to the wind a few decades ago – has made an astonishing comeback in modern times.

And what is the world saying about wallpaper today?

Brigitte Von Boch wallcoverings
Posted on July 17, 2011
France has long been the world’s recognised epicentre of style and fashion. When it comes to classic interior design, nobody does it better than the French. But while some people are lucky enough to effortlessly assimilate all things French, others struggle in their attempts to become a practicing Francophile. Like me, they think that a Renault is a painting of flower pots, whilst a camembert is some kind of large furry animal with claws. They battle with the distinction between Eiffel and Trifle, between Veuve Clicquot and Neve Campbell. These days, however, bold pioneers are breaking down the great linguistic divide through the international language of interior design. All the hard work has been done for you, so now you can instantly transform turn your modest space into the Grand Palace Of Versailles. It all starts with the stunning Brigitte Von Boch Collection from Rasch-Textil.
