If your after a warmer texture the Linen, beautifully buttoned to recreate an expensive fabric wall effect for a fraction of the usual cost.

Look at these sumptuous leather effects, quilted diamonds, Linen leather checks, rustic chesterfield guaranteed to add and expensive effect.

“People are prepared to take a theatrical approach to rooms these days and they want drama and impact and a ‘wow’ factor” says Debbie McKeegan who with her husband founded the hugely successful Digetex, which specialises in digitally printed papers and fabrics.

“Most of us don’t have the budget to afford the homes we admire in the glossy interiors magazines but, by using our walls as a backdrop, we can conjure the perfect setting no matter what our postcode.

“Papers featuring period-style plaster work designs have undoubtedly been hugely boosted in popularity by TV‘s Downton Abbey, while Scandinavian dramas help increase the demand for the pared-back effect, white-washed-boards or driftwood designs.

“Georgian brickwork remains the out-and-out favourite as it’s so characteristic of uber-chic lofts. It has a natural rustic look and brings instant colour, warmth and texture to a room.”

McKeegan predicts ever more dramatic effects will find favour this year as trompe l’oeil – a 3D art effect – features in ranges.

She’s created a new Decor collection of wallpapers in this style. The collection includes Pompeii, replicating Greek pillars, and a Florence panel depicting a decorative carved plaster panel of an Italian mansion. Visit www.Decorwallpaper.com for more details.

Savvy homeowners are making their interior dreams reality by using the latest tricks of the trade.

A new breed of digital wallpapers can replicate any effect from stately home style, through to stripped brickwork, wood panels, edgy urban breeze blocks, or penthouse cityscape views.

Whether you term it cheating or “faking it” this trend is fast becoming one of the most popular and affordable ways to transform homes.

“People are prepared to take a theatrical approach to rooms these days and they want drama and impact and a “wow” factor” says Debbie McKeegan, who with her husband founded the hugely successful Digetex, which specialises in digitally printed papers and fabrics.

If you are looking for something to give your home the wow factor, Stollers in Barrow would be a great place to go.

Meanwhile, here the experts give their guidance on cheating your way to chic decor.

Grandeur to grunge

If you want to be the chatelaine of a grand house, imitate “street” style with breeze blocks or subway decor, or go folksy with a log cabin look, there’s a paper or mural to suit.

Delusions of grandeur are totally catered for at new interiors company, Mineheart, which includes Palace wallpaper inspired by the opulent interiors of stately homes and palaces of the 18th century.

It features an image of a large hall adorned with beautiful paintings and chandeliers and costs £56 per square metre.
“It gives the illusion of a vast room and the feeling of space and elegance it brings to an interior is proving hugely popular,” says Vanessa Battaglia at Mineheart.

Bookworms delight

If life’s too short to collect books over the years, let alone read them, a private library or book-lined study can be conjured in an instant with wallpaper.

“There are so many ways to achieve both a classic or contemporary look by choosing from a number of design cheats. Library designs on wallpaper are an elegant way to do that,” says Andrew Waller, founder and chairman of interiors specialists Andrew Martin.

“These themed papers are a fantastic way to transform both the look and feel of any room, and at a fraction of the cost that it would be to truly install that style in your home.”

Gallery style

Art enthusiasts who’ve gazed longingly at the old masters hung in public art galleries can now have lookalikes of those paintings, and bespoke art work, for their own homes.

“Right now people want to feel that their home has a real sense of authenticity and personality, but it has to be achieved on a budget,” says Alison Cork interiors expert and founder of AlisonatHome.

“I look to the web to source good value art work – companies like Top of Art can reproduce virtually any oil painting you wish, and at a fraction of what you might pay in an art gallery. I had two classic Dutch still-life paintings reproduced at a cost of only a few hundred pounds.”

Reproducing favourite pictures or photos on fabric, canvas and wallpaper is another way of expressing your personal style, she suggests. “It’s a cost-effective way to create a dramatic and unique focal point.”

Paint magic

Wallpapers and murals aren’t the only way of working wonders on walls, says Annie Sloan, paint specialist and author of Color Recipes For Painted Furniture.

At her home in France she’s used techniques such as stencilling, gilding and sponging, to create a host of visual effects in her favourite decorating styles, from Swedish and Country to French and contemporary.

“Faking it is totally cool,” she says. “I think people are much more visually minded these days and prepared to experiment in their homes.

“There’s a huge enthusiasm for putting a personal stamp on our homes these days and, at a time when budgets are tight, the way to do that is by being creative.

“That can be using paint techniques to add interest, texture, or another dimension. I’ve created faux marble effects and distressed vintage looks and Scandinavian panelled walls. The only limit is the imagination.”

Don’t miss this must see exhibition. Further details from the Tate’s website below:

http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/exhibition/lichtenstein

Tate Modern is proud to present a retrospective of one of the great American artists of the twentieth century.
Lichtenstein: A Retrospective is the first full-scale retrospective of this important artist in over twenty years. Co-organised by The Art Institute of Chicago and Tate Modern, this momentous show brings together 125 of his most definitive paintings and sculptures and will reassess his enduring legacy.
Lichtenstein is renowned for his works based on comic strips and advertising imagery, coloured with his signature hand-painted Benday dots. The exhibition showcases such key paintings as Look Mickey 1961 lent from the National Gallery Art, Washington and his monumental Artist’s Studio series of 1973–4. Other noteworthy highlights include Whaam! 1963 – a signature work in Tate’s collection – and Drowning Girl 1963 on loan from the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
The artist’s rich and expansive practice will be represented by a wide range of materials, including paintings on Rowlux and steel, as well sculptures in ceramic and brass and a selection of previously unseen drawings, collages and works on paper.
Room after room will pay tribute to his extraordinary oeuvre, celebrating the visual power and intellectual rigour of Roy Lichtenstein’s work.
… a retrospective devoted to American pop artist Roy Lichtenstein had sensational reviews in Chicago and should look just as good at Tate Modern.
Richard Dorment, The Daily Telegraph
… is bound to have crowds queuing down the South Bank for a glimpse of his iconic comic-strip-inspired canvases.

New designs for Love London and introducing Bloom

 Interiors UK Birmingham – 20^th to 23^rd January 2013

DesignersBlock in Hall 2 at Stand D50

The Love London range of textiles, with photographs from Barbara Chandler’s best-selling book Love London (Batsford, £9.99), was launched with DesignersBlock at Birmingham last year and has been a great success, selling out at John Lewis and doing well on line.

Now Love London is adding new designs to compliment the original collection

Images of London – the world’s favourite city – are printed in beguiling colour or atmospheric black and white onto cushions and tote bags, each with an appropriate quote about London on the back taken from poetry, novels, drama, newspapers and blogs in the style of the original book. There are also tea towels, aprons and an impressive collection of photo murals, together with a range of bone china collaboratively created by Barbara with The New English of Stoke-on-Trent.

Textiles are photo-printed in fine detail by Digetex of Manchester, pioneering experts in digital printing. Machining and making-up is also done in-house by Digetex. Love London has proudly received a handsome order from Lane Crawford in Hong Kong, with a branch in Beijing. Thus textiles printed, cut and stitched in Manchester are selling to the Chinese!

Bloom

Now comes Bloom, a new collection by Barbara Chandler, presenting romantic and evocative photographs of flowers found amidst the gardens, parks, streets and countryside of England.

These images are fresh and different, as is all Barbara Chandler’s work – the London Evening Standard once called her “the sharpest eye in London.” They come from an archive stretching back many years, and will be expanded this summer as new blooms come into flower. A testament to everyday beauty, these photographs– like Love London – are published as textiles and enhanced with literary quotes.

Photographs from both the Love London and Bloom collections feature on two Ercol Windsor chairs. Last year’s Love London sofa was a big hit with the press and trade alike, earning the sobriquet of “coolest couch of the season.” This year’s chair duo should prove equally popular.

Barbara Chandler, who lives in London, is a successful photographer who has held many exhibitions over a period of 25 years, including the original Love London show in Habitat on Regent Street in 2008. Other shows have included Street Music in the crush bar of the old Covent Garden Opera House) and Visions of Poland in London and in Warsaw.

Her most recent exhibition was held last summer at London’s Pitfield Gallery. These images were specifically to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee as well as London 2012.

“I love people looking at my photographs and that is why I am publishing them as home furnishings. My photography is gaining an audience way beyond the reach of galleries and books. Surprisingly a print on fabric, sold as a tea towel, is less expensive than a print on photographic paper. It is the wonderful quality of digital printing in the 21^st century that makes this possible.”
