Wallpaper sample fun!

Now we have our stall, we've been on the hunt for some inspiration for the perfect decor! Making sure it enhances our space while in keeping with our playful brand.

    

For a while we've been gathering quite a collection of different wallpaper samples, attempting to decide on the right one. Floral is just everywhere, it can't be escaped and most of the prints on offer, seem quite obvious for our "vintage/retro" theme & are already extremely popular. This is why we were really happy when we come across the idea of putting our samples to a good use, we sorted through the different prints, squared off any rough edges and experimented with different arrangements to see if the colours clashed ENOUGH - yes "enough" - the more colour & bolder prints the better (for us)!


Although we have stuck with floral patterns, we have tried to mix it up by using different flower prints & colours. Some flowers are more enlarged or more detailed than others, also a range of colours...Its a great idea for those who can't decide, especially as there are so many pretty wallpapers to choose from! The best thing about this project is - there are no rules... you can make it suit your needs. Maybe you want something more softer, you could do this by complimenting the colours and choose from a desired colour palette OR go bold like us and create a colouful, fun backdrop!

Some of the samples above are from Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, B&Q and Homebase. Pictures will be posted once its all done, can't wait to see the final outcome! Hope this inspires you all to some easy (& cheap) DIY!

 Wishing you all a very happy weekend x
