Walls all a Bloom: Art Nouveau Wallpaper Inspiration
I am forever considering and reconsidering what I would do with my hallway given some time and some budget. Wallpaper would be perfect, though some days I fancy just taking my paintbrush to the walls myself, free style, like this lockdown creative.
I would paint white silver birches on a yellow background, I think. But just in case I don’t get that brave, wallpaper would do the trick. I am drawn to monochrome etchings of clouds and giant banana leaves in delicious greens, but today I wanted to think Art Nouveau and see what patterns might inspire.
What set me off in this direction was finding A Beautiful Mess’s hidden room. I mean, that wallpaper is one to covet. When you think Art Nouveau you think William Morris; his patterns are so intricate and instantly recognisable. I can remember all the places I have seen them. Like our primary school teacher’s closet (weird I was in there once and weird I remember at all – but the vivid oranges left an impression) to a cosy tea room that did great cakes that my friends and I would huddle in at uni.
Today it seems the Art Nouveau style is emerging once again as we hanker after dark and introspective interiors. These are a few examples of some I have found that I would be happy to grace my walls...
