Decorating with Wallpaper
Ronald Redding, designer of Ronald Redding Designs and VP of Design at York Wallcoverings, is a leading source when it comes to advising on wallcoverings that will work in your space, large or small, old or new. We got in touch with him to get his take on why wallcoverings are a great alternative to paint and why you shouldn’t be scared to embrace wallpaper.
Style at Home Ronald, what trends are you finding popping up in wallcoverings?
Ronald Redding Metallics have been a big theme for the past couple of years. We noticed that metallics – gold, silver, copper, bronze – often combined, are important in everything from fixtures, furniture and decorative accessories.
S@H Your wallcoverings are beautiful. Where do you find your inspiration?
RR I look to trends in residential architectural design. For example, ceilings are becoming more dimensional and a more important design feature overall to a room. The tray ceiling, which can be subtle or quite dramatic, breaks up a flat ceiling line. In turn, this trend inspires me to create wallcoverings with the ceiling – also known as the “fifth wall” – in mind. We’re introducing more non-directional patterns, textural wallpapers and embellished designs with metal
elements and even Swarovski crystals that look particularly striking on the ceiling.
S@H Do you advise people to use wallpaper in small spaces? Won’t patterned wallpaper make a small space appear too busy?
RR Not at all. A very dramatic design can make a great decorating statement in a small space. If you wrap the entire room – including the ceiling – the walls seem to disappear, so that you don’t feel as if you are enclosed in a small room. Also, since many new homes have high ceilings throughout the house, they often feel out of proportion in the smaller rooms, so wallpaper on the ceiling can help bring the room into balance and make it feel more comfortable.
S@H And what about wallpaper in a large space?
RR There are so many large-scale patterns that are designed expressly for large spaces and for rooms with high ceilings. If, however, there are budget constraints, you can choose to feature a luxurious pattern on a single wall and choose a less expensive coordinating pattern for adjacent walls or paint the walls a colour that plays up the pattern. A small pattern can also work in a large space. It becomes more of a texture than a pattern and
gives the room an intimacy that is often lacking in sprawling rooms.
S@H Many of us are a bit wary of incorporating more than one pattern in a space. Are there any rules that should be followed regarding multiple patterns in a room?
RR There are no rules just as there are no limits to the imagination. I’ve visited with interior designers who have done some amazing work with our wallpapers. I’ve seen them mix several patterns in a room, turning it into artwork. One look I love is having one pattern alternate with another to create a wide stripe. Some designers will hang the product on its side – it’s called ‘railroading’ – to create a horizontal stripe and that too, is a beautiful effect.
S@H It seems as though wallpaper is really starting to become more popular again, but what would you say to those who still feel it’s a bit outdated?
RR I would say that they really need to just take a look around them. You know wallpaper has arrived when it’s in the background of major fashion magazines like Vogue.
Looking to add a punch of personality to your walls? When bold paint colours simply aren’t enough, designers are looking to beautifully patterned wallcoverings to do the trick. StyleAtHome.com

If it’s beautiful enough to go on your walls, it’s beautiful enough to wear, as York Wallcoverings will demonstrate with its new exhibit at Heimtextil this year. The centerpiece of York’s booth is five mannequins decorated in silhouettes taken from current pages of Vogue and InStyle—only these dresses are crafted from designer wallpaper and hand-stitched with all the details.
As many as 700 pieces of wallpaper comprise just one of these cut-out fashions. And after their Heimtextil debut, these life-size paper-dressed dolls will make their appearance in other shows throughout the year.
York Wallcoverings will be at Booth B49 in Hall 5.1 at Heimtextil, Jan. 14–19, 2009. For more information on York’s “top models” and wallpaper collections, contact Anne Martin at [email protected].

Your Home is YourC A S T L EC A S T L EDEF IN ING YOUR DECORAT ING STYLE
Designinfluence forinteriors, justlike fashion,comes from
everywhere. Nothing isreally new it’s just beenre-envisioned and given afresh perspective throughsomeone else’s eyes.
There is a huge range ofdecorating styles, many ofwhich stick to theirspecific definitions, butmore often than not yousee a mix of styles andideas in a single space.Many interior designershave “rules” to theirdecorating and often set aspecific style that isreplayed in each homethat they design. Othersdon’t have a “signaturestyle” and form ideas toeach new client. Then, ofcourse, there are theregular homeowners likeyou and me, who yearn tohave fabulously designedspaces but can’t afford a fulltimeinterior designer.
Where does one start to define yourstyle? Or how does one define the styleyou already have? And where does oneget influence from?
The two extremes of decorating stylesare traditional and contemporary andthen there is everything else inbetween. That includes styles that takeinspiration from Art Deco, Georgian,Swedish, Victorian, Shaker and Frenchdesign among countless others. Butreally anything goes – it’s your home,it’s your castle. In 1913, American Elsiede Wolfe, the first lady of interiordecoration, said “What is the goal? Ahouse is that is like the life goes on withit, a house that gives us beauty as weunderstand it – and beauty of a noblerkind that we grow to understand ahouse that looks refined.” In essence deWolfe was saying that your homeshould suit your life and reflect whoyou are and that is relevant no matterwhere you live in the world. Pick a
decorating style that suits you, yourfamily and your lifestyle mostappropriately. If you choose somethingopposite to how you live, people will beable to see right through it. The décorof your home is like the clothes youwear, it gives people a sense of who youare and makes an immediateimpression.
TRADITIONAL STYLETraditional or classic design takes itsdesign influence from the historicalpast which is everything leading up toabout 1900 or just afterwards. Even ifit’s a newly produced piece of furnitureor fabric, its design is either directlycopied from a historical piece orelements of the design are taken fromhistory. Very often dark woods likemahogany or cherry are used forfurniture and in fabrics damasks andsilks are prevalent.
Iconic design elements from Egyptian,Greek and Roman design appearthroughout many decorating stylesappearing in everything from
plasterwork andarchitecturalelements tofabric andfurniture design.When we speakabout traditionaldesign as awhole, a greatdeal of designinfluence comesfrom furnituredesign during the18thCentury andearly 19thcentury when theeras of QueenAnne, Georgian,Chippendale,Adam,Hepplewhite andSheraton reignedin both Englandand American.The furnituredesign duringthese periodsalso influencedfabrics, rugs,lighting andaccessories.
Queen Anne (1705-55) furniture tended to be massive andornate. The Georgian period (1725-1760) brought in a wonderful newrange of colours such as blue, grey,white and gold and in the laterGeorgian years (1770-1820) Wedgwoodcolours (so named because JosiahWedgwood, famous British chinamanufacturer was using them in hischina glazes) lilac, blue, dusty greenand an off black. Chippendale styleappeared both in England andAmerican and showed influence fromFrench rococo, Gothic and Chineseoriental. Thomas Adam (1765-1790)designed furniture that was lighter inscale from Chippendale andHepplewhite (1780-1800) continued thesame classic purity and Sheraton’s workwas quite similar to Hepplewhitesespecially in the later years. Ireland hadits own “Irish Renaissance” during itsown Georgian period (1760-1820). Itwas a time of great craftsmanship,attention to detail and amazingplasterwork.

From 1945-1970 we enter what is knownas mid-century modernism. Many newmaterials such as plastics, bondedwoods and aluminium were widely usedin furniture design. Notable designersincluded Italians Gio Ponti and CarloMollino, Dane Hans Wegner andJapanese designer Isamu Kenmochi. Thepost modern ear began after the 1970’sand continues today. Notable designersinclude Philippe Starck, Ron Arad, MarcNewson and Mario Bellin.Today furniture design and decoratingstyles continue to explore new materialsand concepts. It cannot be ignored thatpeople are thinking more about theenvironment and considering the eco-friendly use of materials andmanufacturing processes. Designcontinues to evolve and it’s exciting to
see what the new generation ofdesigners are exploring and workingwith. It’s also interesting to see newmixes of decorating styles and theexploration of new textiles, finishes andcolours.
Editors Note: This article ondecorating styles has been provided togive a very general overview of howfurniture design and other designs haveinfluenced how we decorate our homestoday. We recognize that there are manymore styles and areas of designinfluence but we hope you will use thisas a very general base to educateyourself when setting out to decorate
your own home. In future we hope tocover various styles in more depth andgive key examples of furniture that isbeing produced today showinginfluence from certain styles.

Design Daily:
I was shopping with my best friend, Elana, in Banana Republic the other day and b-lined for what I thought was a gorgeous dress. She looked at me and started laughing, “Anne, that looks like a roll of wallpaper.” She was right–but that’s exactly what I loved about it. I often look at the graphic florals and soft geometrics of home textiles and papers and think, I want that in a size four! I guess you have to be a home nerd to understand but for those of you that are...you’ll love this display by York Wallcoverings.
It’s a sneak peak of the display heading to Heimtextil, the international trade fair for home and contract textiles taking place from January 14-17th in Frankfurt, Germany. Each dress (silhouettes ripped from current pages of Vogue and InStyle) is crafted from designer wallpaper, and hand-stitched with all the detail devoted to haute couture. It took as many as 700 pieces of wallpaper make up one dress. I would definitely wear the black and white floral, wallpaper pattern or not.

Design for the New YearSmart decorative moves for lifting your rooms out of the post-holiday doldrums PointClickHome.com
Winter 2008
Circulation 3 MillionLet’s face it, most any décor pales by
comparison to the lights, garlands and
ornaments that festoon our surroundings at
year’s end. But the magic needn’t disappear
along with the tinsel and tree. You can create
year-round appeal by taking your cues from the
decorations heading to the attic.
At their essence, they’re small doses of luxury
that hook the eye with pattern, color, form,
texture and sheen. So, in the new year, turn to
compact accents, paint, wallpaper, touches of
nature and light to add beauty without bulk
to your rooms. While some of these solutions
call for a bit of elbow grease, they don’t require
deep pockets. And, just like those twinkling
strands of bulbs, you can easily swap them out
when the mood strikes.
Accents with Impact
A Pillow Makeover
Nothing perks up a drab sofa or chair more
quickly than a pillow…or two or three.
These little packages deliver a wallop of
pleasing geometry, color and texture that is
disproportionate to their size. Refresh the look
you have by layering pillows of different shapes
and sizes into your seats.
Double Duty Throws
Don’t forget to toss a bright throw into the
mix during these cold winter months—it’s an
opportunity to spread additional color over
your perches along with some warmth.
Runner Refresher
Your home’s transitional spaces get the most
foot traffic but their design doesn’t often
reflect their prime location. How about rolling
out the carpet for style in a hallway with a
cushy new runner?
Deck the Walls
Power of Paint
Coating one room or even a single wall in
a vibrant and compelling color will breathe
new life into your home. Just before the end
of 2008, the Pantone Institute—the world’s
leading color research and information
center—named Mimosa Yellow as the 2009
color of the year. This brilliant sunny hue, and
other lively colors, will cast a warm spirit of
optimism and hope over anything it touches.
Wallpaper Pop
Wallpaper’s another way to quickly and easily
grab the eye—use it to accent a single feature
wall or an entire room, a small section of
a wall, a door panel, or even the back of a
shelving unit.
In spaces made of largely neutral furnishings,
photorealistic papers (try Brewster) wield
the impact of art in the most striking sense.
If you have enough pattern in a room, add
texture and shimmer with glass bead encrusted
or crystal embedded papers like those from
York. In search of a focal point? WallPops, a
peel-and-stick product, lets you create riveting
tableaux with virtually no commitment.
Turn on the Lights
A big part of the holiday season’s appeal is its
prolonged light show. Translate that charm
to the everyday by using portable lamps to
illuminate any remaining dark or dreary areas
in your house. The point is to ease your tasks
and also create a more uplifting atmosphere.
The most effective way to achieve this goal is
to create a balance between different kinds
of lighting in your rooms—incorporate table
lamps and floor lamps and both upward and
downward light.
Natural Touches
The tradition of lacing doors, mantels and
balustrades with greenery was born of the
notion that some of the most beautiful and
restorative interior accents are found in
nature. For the new year, replace the pine and
poinsettia with generous groupings of just one
type of fresh flower. Or, for a more permanent
solution, opt for silk arrangements—these days,
they come in lovely containers ranging from
glass to alabaster and they’re all but
indistinguishable from the real thing.
Texture with Wallpaper
You can keep holiday sparkle alive throughout the year by covering one
or more walls in a sumptuous glass bead encrusted wallpaper from York.
Resembling granulated sugar on the rim of a champagne glass, these
three pearlized papers serve up just enough patterns to catch the light.

cabinets, but you can give your rooms long-lasting shimmer with

Color Trends
Design & Decor spotlights color trends for 2009 in the January issue of the magazine, which you can pick up this month at the Atlanta Intl. Gift Show and Area Rug markets, the Dallas Total Home & Gift Market and the New York Intl. Gift Fair.
Design & Decor’s color forecast is led by Pantone’s optimistic selection for 2009, Mimosa. The magazine spotlights this tasty hue (see below), as well as a bumper crop of water-inspired blues that signal an ongoing example of eco-awareness. Sky-and sea-inspired blues are especially relevant right now. While upbeat hues are sure to engage weary consumers in 2009, neutrals will never fade from favor. Executive Editor Nancy Robinson asked color strategist Kate Smith of Sensation Color to single out one color in the 2009 palette that is the most directional and why.
“This might be exactly the opposite of what some might expect me to say,” Smith forewarned, “but I believe the most directional color of 2009 is gray.
“Our society is, collectively, developing a more sophisticated appreciation of color and design, and our maturing taste has led us to be drawn to colors that have depth and complexity, such as gray,” she said. “Today’s grays are taking their cues straight from nature, yet they have the ability to move with ease between the world of simple, natural style and over-the-top luxury.”
“It is also true that during times of uncertainty, there is a renewed respect for permanence...for ancient structures, solid foundations and colors that conform, rather than confront,” Smith continued.
Happy colorful New Year!
