Nicola Thwaites Specialist Decorating, London can mimic rare and unusual hand painted wallpapers that are not otherwise available or affordable.

Paint Effects for Walls: from Chinoiserie to Spanish Leather and Moire Silk

For example, we can reproduce the look of hand painted Chinese wallpapers popular during the 18th century. These often depicted exotic flora and fauna in a flat decorative way and show little scenes and landscapes of far-away lands.

We also imitate the look of Spanish leather wall coverings associated with the Tudors and Jacobeans. Decorative painting can also reproduce the appearance of paper-backed silk and rippled moirés.

Charm of Decorative Stencils

Bespoke stencils reproduce simple, sprig-style wallpaper and friezes reminiscent of Georgian and Victorian interiors to charming effect.
