Aff508 Pattern – A Whimsy
May 17, 2019 Leave a comment

This pattern was intended to be interesting, unusual and, yes, to an extent an amusing design but one which, nevertheless, could have a place as a wall covering on a normal wall in a normal house.
The motif is a simple one and, in line with my ideas of Belle Epoque 2, it has a small-scale and a fast repeat. The colours are taken from my extended British range of colours that would have been available mid-century. The motif, too, could well have come from that period.
The point about using this as wallpaper is that it is unusual and certainly a whimsy but it also gives a wall a full, decorated and granular look. I will try this design, perhaps with a different background, as a wallcovering when I have chance today and see how it looks. (If you never see it again then you will know that it was not one of those designs that produced a workable end product. Happily, these days, that is not something that happens too often.)
If you wish, you can also see larger versions of this and, of course, my other designs and patterns for interiors on my Flickr page, a link to which is here.
