York WallcoveringsA company that began with a handful of workers in 1895, York Wallcoverings now supplies wallpapers for people all over the U.S. and in

50 countries worldwide. And they do it with a conscience. Considering the problems our economy has had in recent years, it is no small

help that York has continually manufactured all of their products in the U.S. as well as practiced a long-held commitment to reducing their

carbon footprint.

With over 15,000 wallpapers and more in the making, it is hard to focus on a few. But here are a few in PINK that caught my eye.

Wallpaper is back in vogueBut Queen Victoria wouldn’t recognize some of today’s shimmery offerings.

Wallpaper is making a comeback, but it’s

had a makeover.

Wallcoverings have changed considerably

in the past 20 years, and are now rich and

full of texture, with graphic design and

tactile finishes.

“People want a real tactile feel to the

paper,” said Gina Shaw, vice president of

product development for York

Wallcoverings, whose designer collections

include Walt Disney and Candice Olson.

“[These] collections have glass beads, sand

or raised ink that give added dimension

and added value.”

The Walt Disney Collection is based on the

1940s classic “Fantasia.” York designers

viewed original paintings, sketches and

other pieces in Disney’s archives for

inspiration.

“Sketches, paintings and brilliant pastels of

fairies, sparkles, complete scenes -- we

interpreted these into textures, glitter and

glass beads,” Shaw said.

The three-dimensional papers with their

shimmer and shine are attracting a whole

new demographic of buyers. “The younger

generation, in their 20s and 30s, have not

seen [wallpaper] in a long time,” she said.

Jackie Jordan, director of color marketing

for Sherwin-Williams, agreed that the

wallpaper market is skewing younger.

“They are attuned to the natural

environment. Natural wallcoverings like

linen and grass cloths bring the outdoors

in. They are not afraid because they have

never had to deal with the horror of

installing and removing old wallpaper,”

she said.

Actually, new technology has made

papering less of a chore.

“Application is much easier with pattern

markings that are removable -- line up two

arrows and get a perfect install,” Jordan

said. “Most papers are prepasted on the

back and they are so much easier to remove

as there is no more ‘paper backing.’”

In the world of natural and textured

wallcoverings, Phillip Jeffries is still one of

the industry’s standards. The company’s

handcrafted rolls are made mostly in Japan

by skilled artisans. Collections include

pure metallics in real gold leaf, silks,

mosaic hemps and high-gloss lacquered

vinyl wallcoverings.

Phillip Jeffries Lacquered Strie collection

($76 per square yard) is shiny, deep,

reflective and a sure showstopper. It was

born out of the success of the Smooth

Lacquered collection that’s been used by

celebrity designer Robert Verdi in his

decorating lab and in the Kips Bay

Showhouse by Christopher Coleman.

These coverings are usually used on a single

wall with more sedate but complementary

coverings on adjoining walls. They are not

a DIY product, says Michelle Daniels, the

Candice Olson Links CX1236

marketing director for Phillip Jeffries.

The Lacquered Strie’s 54-inch width

alone makes it hard to handle during

installation. Shaw and Jordan say that

coverings like grass cloth and silk are very

expensive and should be handled by

professionals or experienced installers.

Some wallcoverings’ key features are subtle,

like the delicate metallics in “Pixie” (Walt

Disney, $129.99 a roll). Others are bold,

like the glass bead circles in “Rock Star”

(Phillip Jeffries).

Other single-wall applications that are

popular now include papering a wall

behind the bed in place of a headboard or

using crown molding as a frame to make

wallpaper look like artwork. New,

photographic murals are also big, as well as

fat stripes and individually placed graphics

such as chandeliers and birds.

Shaw said that new, strong graphic patterns

such as Candice Olson’s “Links” print are

often used on only one feature wall; using

them on all four walls might be distracting.

This is the approach that Cathy Taylor of

CTaylor Designs, plan decorator for

Signature Homes in Pennsylvania, took in

a client’s guest bedroom. A large chocolate

damask print (Sherwin-Williams, Blue

Mountain, $29.99 per roll) on a turquoise

background calls attention to a seating

area.

Of course, not everyone is warming up to

the idea of wallpaper. When Taylor’s client

shared her plan to install paper it drew this

response from a friend: “I just tore down

all of my wallpaper. There’s not a chance

I’ll be doing that anytime soon.”

Tips for novice wall hangersTackling wallpaper for the first time can be daunting. Here are some tips from experts.

DO

• Research. Look through the room scenes

in wallpaper books. They give a good idea of

the finished product.

• Know the kind of paper you are hanging.

Fragile papers, for example, don’t belong in

the bathroom.

• Pick out paper like you pick out your

wardrobe. Color palettes and prints should

be what you feel comfortable in. If you

wouldn’t wear a large paisley, don’t put it on

your wall.

• A simple one-wall project. Murals are

coming back.

• Hire a professional installer for natural

wallcoverings and specialty papers. They are

expensive, fragile and easy to damage.

DON’T

• Be afraid to put large prints in a small

space. It makes the room feel more modern.

• Try to do a powder room on your first

DIY project because it’s hard to work

around the obstacles. Start with a simple,

flat wall, like behind a bed.

• Mix too much pattern throughout the

home. A scheme needs to flow from room

to room, especially in an open floor plan.

The Pinnock FamilyWhen Steven and Rita first purchased this

2000 square foot suburban home they were

in full agreement that this was the house

for their family, but only a few years and 2

kids later their home has become a

battlefield fuelled by frustration over it’s

lack of function. Wading into the war are

Hilary and David, each convinced they can

guide this troubled twosome to a truce, but

before either side waves the white flag,

they’ll have to overcome the most picky

pair of homeowners they’ve ever faced. Can

Hilary resuscitate the love for the

seemingly unreachable Rita? Can David

stun the stupefyingly stubborn Steven?

And ultimately when the smoke clears, will

they love it? Or list it?

The Pinnock FamilyMike and Teresa live in a 90 old charming

home by the lake that’s lovely on the

outside, but seriously lacking on the inside.

East Coast flavoured home but Teresa is

fed up with its problems. With limited

budgets and long lists, both Hilary and

David are duking it out to please this

particular pair.

One More Coffee Chair for the RoadComing to a cafe near you could be the ultimate in coffee-house seating. Korean designer Sunhan Kwon’s stylish furniture piece is designed to solve your where-to-hang-my-bag problems when in a busy cafe, while bringing a touch of geek chic to the surroundings. The chair is made with a European wood veneer and comes in three finishes: black, white and natural. Although received wisdom might suggest that hanging your personal items on the back of chairs in cafes makes your belongings vulnerable to theft, the Coffee Chair is fresh, fun and has a practical application. www.hewasborn.com

The Natural WallFrom the United States’ oldest and largest wallpaper manufacturer comes a new collection with designs that are nature-inspired and universal. As the firm’s Vice President of New Product Development Gina Shaw says, “Motifs from nature are universally pleasing and easy to live with.” Founded in 1895 in York, Pennsylvania, where the company’s headquarters are still located, York Wallcoverings uses a unique recycled-sand technique that creates a subtle texture. Seen here are Mimi, from the Dolce Vita collection, featuring a twig-and-leaf design in hot pink; Alessa, also from Dolce Vita and inspired by an archival design, which sets multi-coloured butterflies against a quiet white background; and Harrison, from Ronald Redding designs, based on a hand-painted mid-20th-century pattern. All three designs are available in five colour ways. www.yorkwall.com

wabi wanderings 日本美學

To Belgian interior designer, art dealer

and antique collector Axel Vervoordt,

the Japanese concept of wabi is

crucial to his design philosophy. Wabi references simplicity and humility. Wabi Inspirations, written by journalist and

photographer Michael Paul in collaboration

with Vervoordt, explores this. The book, which

is published by Flammarion, features exquisite

imagery by Laziz Hamani.

對於比利時室內設計師、藝術經紀兼古董收藏家Axel

Vervoordt來說，日本文化中的「佗」(Wabi) ——代

表簡潔純樸的美學——是他設計哲學中不可或缺的概

念。由記者兼攝影師Michael Paul跟Vervoordt合作撰

寫的Wabi Inspirations就是以此概念為本；

這本著作由Flammarion出版，書中還刊載了

Laziz Hamani的精美圖片。
