Silky Beauty..............

A close Friend recently asked me whether I thought feature walls with wallpaper where done to death. I didn't even need to pause to think as I had been thinking for a while that this is a trend that has been done to death. It seems that every home in Britain has jumped on this bandwagon, and wallpaper designs have become tackier and more footballers wives than classic wallpaper beauty.

But part of me thinks that this does not mean wallpaper should be avoided,and when I read an article on the weekend all about Silk hand painted wallpapers I believe this is the wonderful alternative.

Silk hand painted wallpapers, these can be custom-made,hand painted silk with beautiful illustrations. They are usually done on Fromental paper, this is expensive (£180 per square metre), but the pro is that as it is backed on sturdy paper, it can be peeled off and rehung in another room or in a new home if you happen to move.

This can also allow you the creative freedom,input and personalisation. There is a design called "unconscious style", which means that it is painted freehand; there is no sketch or outline to follow. Meaning if you choose a design with tree trunks it is all done by single strokes and every detail is unique.

In daylight the wallpaper will have a seductive and calming atmosphere but at night it will full of opulence and decadence. Subtle side lighting will make details such as painted birds appear to stand proud of their leafy background.
You will create a look where you wish the night may never end.

You would defiantly stop to stare at this everyday, its just beautiful.
