FLASHBACK WALLPAPER

The prestigious British wallpaper company Cole & Son has reinvented their Contemporary Collection designs.

"These prints embody the glamourous 50s and 60s in which they were originally created but adding different colours, changing the printing technique or enhancing with a new element, we are able to create a more modern feel". It's what says Shauna Dennison, Cole & Son Creative Director, and add: "This period was often referred to as the Golden Age of Couture and the assemblage of flamingos, orchid blooms, palm fronds and bold geometrics in Contemporary Restyled still retains the essence of the era while remaining at the forefront of the relevant trends and styles of today."

Below, some of the designs which the Contemporary Restyled Collection includes.

Hicks Grand: The enduring Hexagon pattern has been printed at a bolder scale. A total of six new colourways are available in a jazzy palette of pillar box reds, sapphire blues, turquoise, ebony and copper.

Palm Jungle: The original Palm Leaves has been multi layered to create a dense jungle of foliage. Five colourways are offered in vibrant hues of emerald, teal, china blue and subtle metallics and a further two luxurious colourways feature lustred backgrounds on a textured base paper.

Malabar: The best selling design has six new subtle and romantic colourways of shell, lavender and ecru, slate, ink and mahogany.

Flamingos: This charming bird print is presented in four new colourways of toned down neutrals, flamingo pink and moonlight silver to add a touch of elegance.

Pompeian: The elegant trellis pattern has been reduced in scale and given a delicate touch by using shades of linen, dove grey and charcoal to create a trompe l'oeil lattice effect.
