A taste of Indian design for your walls
Intricate, opulent and delicate pattern with bold celebratory colour…
Wallpapers from Albany and Sketch 23 get us off to a traditional-feeling start.


A gorgeous paisley in the pink from Barneby Gates. Rajapur paisley in cyan and gold from Cole & Son.

Irrepressible elephants and handsome tigers carry us on to these offerings from Albany, Manoel Canovas and Paper Moon…


Exquisite flock wallpapers conjure memories of some of the pioneering curry houses that introduced the wonders of Indian cuisine to Britain.
Of course the modern British Indian restaurant (like the lovely Chaula’s in Lewes) has come a long way since then. I think a fresh, sumptuous vegetarian thali should get the weekend off to the perfect start!
