The Art of Wallpaper showcases inspirational wallpapers from the V&A’s outstanding collection, from intricate hand-drawn designs to bold, woodblocked prints, and invites readers to create designs of their own. The book begins with a brief history of wallpaper manufacture and design. The activities are divided into four sections, becoming progressively more difficult: Experiment with Color, Complete the Repeat, Fill in the Gaps, and Create Your Own. Thumbnails at the end of the book identify all the featured designs. Wallpaper’s ubiquity and versatility have allowed designers to innovate and experiment with color, technique, and style. The Art of Wallpaper encourages readers to explore the endless variety of this medium and provides inspiration for new designs.

With superb projects and more than 200 color photos, this stunning showcase presents the best contemporary wallpaper designs. The rich variety of patterns ranges from modern geometrics to feminine florals, from reflective metallics to designs that imitate stucco and wood. Better yet are the clever ideas for using the papers, including applying them in vertical strips, creating a patchwork pattern, and covering just half a wall. Or, for something different, use paper other than conventional manufactured wallpaper, such as old maps and sheet music. And remember: wallpaper isn't just for walls, so there are suggestions for transforming small accessories too. Even the most intimidated will find the instructions easy enough to follow.
