The collection

Was browsing through the French The Collection on-line store this week and have found my latest wallpaper crush : this "trompe l'oeil" wallpaper by the Dutch Studio Ditte imitating a wall of china plates. Can we call it "Neo Kitsch?" Reminds me of those collections you see in Royal Palaces. Love it!



On the same site there are several great designs by the British Lizzie Allen, who celebrates some of the quirky London City symbols, such as telephone boxes and businessmen in bowler hats:


Again from England, Tracy Kendall produces a whole range of "stack" themed papers - this one re-producing piles of books. If you check out her site she also designs single piece wall designs featuring feathers, cutlery and flowers that fill the whole wall!

Oh and this one gets points for wit and audacity - a skeleton wallpaper by "Dumnies". Up close it's a bit too Gothic but funnily enough once spread out on a large surface the effect is pretty slick!





Oh and I just had to mention this lamp by the Swedish Design Dessert group because I love the bright colours it comes in and the shape which actually reminds me of the lampshades of fellow Swede Kicki Moller (see The Poppy Club post of decmber 15th : Naughty but Nice ) that have similar-shaped frames and share a fascination with transparency.

A real home decor treasure trove!
