What do you think about this…….

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...)

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

they should have gone to specsavers

It looks very 1980s to me to be honest.

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

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

Sort of comme ça.

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.

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

oops ...a Tatler piece...

Thanks, Joseanne.

X post Casdon.

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?

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.

Here you are MaizieD.

I don’t like it.

Want that one.
What a kerfuffle.

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 like it, lovely colours.

I don’t like it.

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.

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

Is okay I don't dislike it. Lot depends on what room it's in.?

I will be quite honest, I have bought very expensive paper, for a statement wall. I'm thrilled with it, it's liked by friends who like what I have done.

We all have personal taste, I certainly wouldn't tell people though how much it cost.

I’d feel I was in a cage surrounded by chickenwire

It’s very geometric and oppressive looking.
You don’t see much squared wallpaper for a reason.
It’s going to make the room look much smaller than it is.

I'm sorry, but I'm just not 'getting' this thread at all.

Was that a sample of the actual Downing St wallpaper, Esspee?

Where can I see a picture of the actual flat decor that the in crowd seem to be so knowledgeable about?

BTW Kalu, Carrie wasn't 'flaunting her wealth', it was a tory donor's wealth that financed it.

I quite like it. To me it has Laura Ashley vibes.

Perhaps I'm an arriviste!

Sorry I didn't mean "you" personally ,*Kalu*.
