Andrew Martin Library wallpaper from Fabrics and Papers

Thursday, August 25th, 2011
Bookshelf feature wall library wallpaper

Old library wallpaper

Andrew Martin produces some fantastic wallpaper designs – think vintage, ephemera and different. Some of his collection includes wallpapers based on love letters, stamps and old maps.

As much as we love the other designs, we’re particularly coveting his Library wallpaper, not least as you can create the look and feel of a library full of old books, without needing loads of free space in your home.

The wallpaper comes in a set of two 10m rolls, each slightly different, which helps created a more varied library on the wall.

It sadly doesn’t come cheap, but it looks so effective. Fabrics and Papers have the Andrew Martin Library wallpaper in stock for (gulp) £119.90 per 2 roll pack.

Designer Mary Kilvert, of the colourful sheep fame, has produced this wonderful Town Houses wallpaper, featuring tiny houses inspired by old childhood toys.

It’s not cheap at £60 per roll, but it would look great in a child’s bedroom or nursery.
