David Harris, Fabric and Wallpaper Design Director, Andrew Martin

Whichever design and colour you go for, bold or subtle, always choose a paper with a high quality finish and a softer tone of ink and print mark. This makes a world of difference, achieving a refined and sophisticated finish. Steer clear of cheaper prints on shiny papers, these will look obtrusive and overpowering.

Tricia Guild, Founder and Creative Director, Designers Guild

Choosing wallpaper for one’s own home is a very personal choice, I would say be led by your own instinctive response to a design, and, if you love it then try a large sample on the wall first to see how it works in the space.

Becky Brown designer of Jardin Boheme collection, Harlequin

To create a room with free-spirited, folkloric and ageless elements choose a wallpaper that has been created with strong brushstroke and techinques such as mark-making. Surface printed wallpapers gives depth of colour, detail and texture.
