It was the Victorians, however, who widely popularised the design trend of putting textile imitations – some in full bas-relief – upon their walls. And they generally used paper to recreate the look of the tapestries and painted cloths, often damask and velvet, that had been hung on walls for centuries.<\/p>\n

The trend lasted throughout the 20th century in different locations.<\/p>\n

In France, for example, where the practice is still popular, you will still find plenty of walls with cloth coverings – and the problem of cleaning and maintaining surfaces that gather mildew and dirt underlines even more the practicality of using a polyurethane material that looks just like the real thing.<\/p>\n

London’s amazing Victoria and Albert Museum has even earlier evidence of wallpaper made to match textiles: advertising from companies claiming to make perfect paper imitations of the styles and patterns of fabrics.<\/p>\n

In a letter written in 1753, the English politician Horace Walpole recalled being in a sitting room ‘hung with a blue and white paper in stripes adorned with festoons, and a thousand plump chairs, couches and luxurious settees covered with linen of the same pattern’.<\/p>\n

Materials used by Panespol\u00ae <\/sup><\/strong>, however, can take ‘ripping off’ textile patterns and styles to ‘state-of-the-art’ standards. Our Sofelto, Soshagro, Samua, and Aythana models come in many colours and not only offer exotic patterns but even reflect the relief in bold textile creases. Check out our full\u00a0TEXTILES<\/a> and\u00a0TEXTURES<\/a> ranges and see how far Panespol\u00ae <\/sup><\/strong>panels have moved interior design forward in time.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
