About the Author

The Victoria and Albert Museum is the world's leading museum of art, design, and performance, housing a permanent collection of over 2.3 million objects that span over 5,000 years of human creativity. The V&A is located in London, England.

From the Back Cover

The choice of wallpaper – an intricate floral motif, a complex repeat pattern or a bold abstract design – can transform a room. The Art of Wallpaper: Colour • Draw • Create showcases inspirational wallpapers from the V&A’s outstanding collection, from intricate hand-drawn designs to bold, woodblocked prints, and invites readers to create designs of their own.

The book begins with a brief history of wallpaper manufacture and design. The activities are divided into four sections, becoming progressively more difficult: Experiment with Colour, Complete the Repeat, Fill in the Gaps and Create Your Own. Thumbnails at the end of the book identify all the featured designs.

Wallpaper’s ubiquity and versatility have allowed designers to innovate and experiment with colour, technique and style. This book encourages readers to explore the endless variety of this medium and provides inspiration for new designs.
