Black & White Art Deco Wallpaper for Living Rooms
Art Deco design, born in 1920s Paris, celebrates symmetry, fans, sunbursts and stepped forms. It adds instant glamour, especially in metallic-look tones.
The living room is where most people start with wallpaper. A feature wall behind the sofa or across the chimney breast gives an instant focal point without overwhelming the space.
Black and white wallpaper is graphic, timeless and surprisingly easy to style.

- Deco fans and shells are superb in dining rooms and cloakrooms where a little drama goes a long way.
