A Rekindled Love for Wall Covering
Explore the renewed interest in wall coverings, examining how historic craft traditions are being reinterpreted by designers and makers to shape layered contemporary interiors.
Overview
Interior design is witnessing a renewed fascination with ornaments and layered spaces, moving away from “millennial grey” and reintroducing patterns to the walls of our homes. This shift reflects a broader interest in integrating the past into contemporary interiors.
The discussion explores the renewed fascination with tapestry, both as a serious art form and as an increasingly influential element in contemporary interior design. Drawing on the perspectives of contemporary interior designers, wall-covering manufacturers, and art dealers, the conversation traces the legacy of tapestry and wall coverings–from its history and contemporary workshops to how these traditions continue to evolve today.
