Jocelyn Warner

{wallpaper Peony by Jocelyn Warner}
This image really appealed to me when I first saw it, because the pattern is very suttle, but yet very strong ... I'm not a huge fan of bold patterns on any of our walls, I do like it however at other peoples houses ... I guess it's a bit too daring for me, but a pattern like this could look really nice as a background for a dining area or entrance ... The wallpaper is designed by Jocelyn Warner from London ... Jocelyn has a whole range of beautiful wallpapers, lights and rugs, which she sells under her own label. This wallpaper is called 'Kew' and you can obviously see that Jocelyn is inspired by nature. She loves to transform images from nature into simple forms. In one of her interviews I read that Jocelyn has always had an interest in the design world especially with repeated structures and patterns. Growing up in a 1960's house designed by her architect farther and filled with fabrics and furniture by John Piper, Lucienne and Robin Day inspired her appetite for textiles.
During 100% Design 2008 (September 18-21) in London you can find Jocelyn Warner presenting new wallpapers and their gorgeous our new rug Orchid.

I like "Kew"; it looks like she's been drawing directly on the wall! I'm a bit like you - daring wallpapers are cool but I never have the courage to put them up at home... Maybe we should challenge ourselves and do just one small wall?? Thanks for a great blog! Trudi
