What do you think about this…….

Agreed. A better look I mean, Rather than you being old fashioned !

It would look very appropriate beneath the dado rail in a Victorian hallway. Crikey, I'm old fashioned.

Exactly!

Victorian Country House interpreted for the middle classes.

Excuse me shouting, but DOES ANYONE HAVE A LINK TO A PICTURE OR PICTURES OF THE DOWNING STREET FLAT WHICH THEY ARE DISCUSSING SO KNOWLEDGEABLY?

I don’t like it.

I like it, lovely colours.

MaizieD I can't find any photos of their actual flat, but these I think are photos of the designer's work. Apologies for linking to the cat litter tray liner the DM (but I could sense your desperation and any port in a storm.)

I don’t like it.

Want that one.
What a kerfuffle.

Here you are MaizieD.

Ask someone who knows about wallpaper Maizie! I'm your person!

As I said, the wallpaper has French influences, probably 19th century. Where some see chicken wire others see delicate filigree like a trellis on a provenancal wall. Squares and checks are very popular in French wall coverings. Think Château.

Anyway, the wallcovering is listed on the supplier's invoice to number 10. But I haven't seen any photos of it in situ and I doubt we will either.

X post Casdon.

Thanks, Joseanne.

So we're not actually talking about the whole decor, just some wallpaper?

I see chain lock fencing with bindweed...

I didn't think that any interior pictures existed (for security reasons as much as anything else) but everyone seemed to know so much about the decor, whereas I was judging from a Tltler piece on Lytle...

French Chateau, English Country House... not a huge difference (though, of course the French will think theirs is far more tasteful...)

oops ...a Tatler piece...

It makes my eyes go squiffy; like when you look at an optical illusion.

The series featuring Dick and Angel at Le Château de la Motte-Husson taught me all about French wallcoverings! Not so much to do with Angel's designs, though very good, but the 19th century papers underneath.

Sort of comme ça.

Maybe Boris has to write the names of everyone he's slept with in each of the squares in sharpie

It really does surprise me that there would be so many names.

It looks very 1980s to me to be honest.

they should have gone to specsavers

There’s a picture allegedly of Carrie in one of the rooms, and the actual estimate provided on the link I attached, with the detail of some of the items purchased MaizieD

Horrible. I think I'd feel a bit hemmed in and dizzy. Certainly not a restlful vibe.

Similar available as a dressing gown for about the same price as a roll of the paper! Don't all rush!

Love it ?

Most houses here don’t have wallpaper at all. Just paint. When we went to Norway I was amazed at the awful colours they used, purples, dark greens, very fussy. I always thought Scandis had good taste until then.

We had similar trellis style wallpaper in the fifties.

There's a much better example of the colourful ethnic look in the latest Homes and Antiques. The room shown in the Mail Online article should have more stuff in if one is going for that look.

There has been a backlash against the greige look so one could argue that Lulu Lyttle was in advance of the crowd when she was hired by the Johnsons to decorate their flat. Let's hope that someone takes photos before the decor is changed.
