Scandimania Interiors

This week we'll be heading in a Nordic direction as we look at the massively popular Scandinavian interior style.

There's been a great deal of fascination in the British media recently with all things Scandinavian, in particular, their effortlessly stylish and impressive room designs.

This room illustrates what the Scandinavian ethos is all about: simplicity, light and flawless design. The white walls, wooden floors and a minimal use of ornamentation create a simple and stylish space that is not only easy to create, but massively effective.

Some of our recent work in Healthcare

Last year we were involved in this great project, we were fortunate enough to be allowed to use images from Usborne Books 1001 Things To Spot series of books.

Here is a clip featuring some of our work at Wall Glamour

Year Of The Stag

Something about the long, cold winter nights seems to conjure up the need to embrace 'the wild' in our interiors in 2014.

And whether it's taking inspiration from the outdoors in general, or being playful with natural hues, there is one creature that has been popping up a lot in interiors blogs recently; the stag.

The stag has all the elements necessary for creating a bold impression; an iconic silhouette, rich colouring and the ability to be used in a surprising variety of circumstances.

The classic use of a stag, is (unfortunately for the stag), the use of wall-mounted stag skulls. This can conjure up impressions of stately homes and grand British interiors. However, a few alterations and a touch of imagination can circumvent the dangers of stuffy traditionalism and create a vibrant atmosphere.

Love Love Love

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, we thought we'd take a look at an instantly recognisable symbol of romance that can add a touch of love to any home; the heart.

A bit of internet research shows that there is a variety of conflicting opinions about where the heart symbol originated. Whether it be an ancient Roman fertility symbol or a representation of Cupid's arrowhead, the heart has blossomed into being a 'go-to' for many interior designers who want to give a room a little more love.

The most basic version of the heart, is the standard 'playing card' design and there are many different ways that this symbol can be used to brighten up an interior space.

This traditional living-room has been made much cosier by the use of a string of hearts being hung above the fireplace. The bunting effect really livens up the darkened area of the room by adding an element of light and humour.

2014 Interior Design Trends

To celebrate the return of our blog to blogger here is our first post in quite some time.

New year, new trends. We've been scouring the internet trying to gauge the style forecasts for how our interiors are going to look in 2014.

As usual, there are a host of wildly conflicting opinions, so we've whittled them down to a top five of what will be happening this year.

We have un-moved our blog back to here.

After a good time away on our website we have decided to move our blog back to blogger.

Wall Stickers designed and made in the UK

One of the things we haven't really pushed is the fact that we design and manufacture all our products in Yorkshire. We have a cool little studio on an estate in rural North Yorkshire over-looking a field and trees, soon to be built on though :( we have a few friends of Wall Glamour that produce designs for us and most of them are in Yorkshire too. Our packaging and printing is produced in the UK and we kind of forgot to celebrate this fact.

We have been working ever so hard recently to produce more designs and a more varied product range only to find that the one thing that people love buying are our wall stickers. Whilst we still love designing other bits and pieces like, canvas prints, framed prints, mirrors and photo blocks the thing we love most are the stickers. We recently visited a trade show for Nursery suppliers and again the response and interested was in our wall stickers which is nice to hear. We have started producing some smaller sticker packs that we are selling into retailers along with our larger wall stickers, so hopefully we'll be in a store near you soon.
