Wallpaper is having a nostalgic comeback in interior design, and Lemieux et Cie’s latest collection captures this perfectly. Designed by Christiane Lemieux, each design in the collection draws on historical wallpaper styles from around the world, crafted meticulously by hand.
It is typified by richly layered designs that are effortlessly relaxed, according to Tim Dixon, Managing Director of retailer Beautiful Walls.
Tim said: “This collection was inspired by the wallpaper classics of years gone by, and given a modern update for 21st century living.
“While each design within the collection has been created for visual impact, there is a subtleness to the range to ensure it works in harmony with existing home styling.”
