Decadent decor for less

If you’ve ever lusted after hand-crafted wallpapers or drooled over designer styles, but not been able to stretch your budget, then help is at hand from Arthouse, who has just launched Decadence, a collection of four delicious designs that offer a bespoke feel at an affordable price of just £20 a roll.

The secret to Decadence’s appeal is in the surface print, a technique which creates a hand-finished look without the Artisan price tag. It also adds a touch of drama to the designs, helping bring life to the opulent floral and damask motifs.

The collection – a new addition to the Vintage range from Arthouse – has an eclectic feel thanks to its diverse inspirations, which number lavish Italian silks, Georgian grandeur and opulent Oriental chic. As such, the resulting designs marry high glamour with the exotic charm of faraway places, creating a versatile selection of papers that will work well in almost any setting – from funky modern apartments through to more traditional period properties.

Further luxury is added through the use of metallics, which are teamed with a palette of warm shades that incorporates decadent golds, inviting plums and berries, dramatic blacks and chocolates, plus vivid hues of green, yellow and teal.

Radiance

This distinctive paper with its elegant metallic detailing and stunning blossom motif brings to mind a sense of the exotic; while the bold colourways, which include an on-trend black/cream, a stylish berries/beige, an attractive chocolate/orange plus a stunning yellow, ensure a sumptuous feel. The design is ideal for living areas or bedrooms, with the monochrome version adding a rather languid air, while the berries colourway brings a more feminine feel.

Couture

While borrowing from the splendour of traditional damasks, the surface print, together with the dramatic plum and black colourways, make for a thoroughly contemporary paper that will look great in almost any room of the house. Use to add wow factor to the hall and stairs or a luxurious backdrop to the dining room.

Exquisite

This stylish paper offers layer upon layer of luxury, adding shimmering metallic highlights to a rich background of black, teal or pink and finishing with a beautifully bold bloom motif that adds more than a touch of feminine glamour. A great boudoir choice, it will also create a statement in a lounge or living area, where it could be used as a show-stopping feature wall or a punchy option for above or below a dado rail.

Allure

Classic style exemplified, this attractive floral design combines metallic gold highlights with a warm cream or green background to create a sophisticated ‘use anywhere’ wallpaper, perfect for all four walls.

The new range of Decadence papers is available at B&Q and independent DIY retailers, and is priced at £20 a roll.
