Buying guide and questions we are asked
How to use gold wallpaper
Gold works as a highlight, not a ground: a metallic ink on a dark or coloured background, a gilded palm frond, a thread through a texture. It needs light to do anything, so plan it for a room with lamps or evening use, a dining room, a powder room, a bar wall, and see the sample by lamplight as well as daylight. Casamance makes most of the collection through its metallic textures, and Emma Hayes' metallic panels are the statement option.
Where to start
Of the designs on this page, the ones ordered over the last twelve months, in any colourway, were Versace's Giungla Palm and Catherine Martin's Monkey Business; the most sampled were Monkey Business and Casamance's Cinerea Leaves. Gold by style: metallic and Art Deco. Neighbouring colours: black and yellow.
