Allsorts wallpaper

This Allsorts wallpaper is an interesting find sure to sweeten up a kids room. 

Bassets Liquorice Allsorts have a long and impressive heritage. Having been around since 1899, they're instantly recognisable. To add to this mix there's a bit of 1960s cultural history behind this wallpaper too: the design has been drawn by Robert Benson, the man behind Gonks. His original illustration has been scanned and printed onto the wallpaper to create a bright Pop effect worthy of the sixties.  

It's available through I love design, priced at £350 for two rolls.

New in at the Urban Outfitters website is a range of Temporary Wallpaper, designed by New York set designers under the name of Tempaper.

I’ll admit to being sceptical about the concept of temporary wallpaper, but apparently this is so easy to hang and remove, that you can move it according to your every whim. The collection also comprises some great retro designs. Pictured here is Bela in Coco, which is also available in a plum with blue pattern. Other designs include; Skotti, a houndstooth pattern in pink or lavender; Damsel, a damask design in pink, black or metallic and two art deco designs, Alto in black/white or blue/red and Gio in silver.

The wallpaper costs £78 per roll and is available from the Urban Outfitters website (not in store).

Sanderson’s 1960s Concord wallpaper

Sanderson Concord

We've already mentioned, quite a few times, how 2010 is the 150th anniversary of Sanderson. If you missed the exhibition, weren't too enraptured by their cushion designs, how about this 1960s Concord wallpaper, reissued as part of their 'vintage' collection?

Unlike the floral patters often associated with the firm, its converging lines makes it more of an Op-Art design, typical of the 1966 date when it was designed. The version pictured is in red and gold but it also comes in lime and silver or plum and teal. 

The paper costs £32 a roll.

Dull, dark corner in your living room? This peacock wallpaper from Casamance is sure to brighten it up instantly. 

Casamance is a French company and this wallpaper is taken from their 'London' collection, inspired by the swinging sixties. This translates to a repeat pattern of a retro-style black peacock flower, shown against a vivid green background. If that's just too bright for you, there are five different colour options available. 

The paper costs £54 a roll.

Momento wallpaper by Amy Butler at Graham and Brown

Graham and brown momento

This Momento wallpaper is part of new range designed by Amy Butler for Graham and Brown.

She describes this design as a 'Pop bouquet', a reminder of the fun floral designs she grew up with. The paper certainly has a pretty retro feel, enhanced by the orange and pinks of the flowers, and is a nice alternative to all the overblown floral wallpapers currently on the market. 

The rest of the range is worth a look too, including everything from 1930s-style trellis flowers to folk inspired designs. 

The paper costs £30 a roll.
