Given that wallpaper could be considered fashion for the walls, it is rather fitting that the celebrated Australian fashion designer Collette Dinnigan has collaboratedย with Porterโs Paints to produce a feminine, sophisticated range of them. Bringing her signature Paris-meets-boho-meets world traveller vibe to interior spaces, the range mixes baroque and exotic motifs in colour ways including ‘Midnight in Paris’ and ‘Antique Rose’ that will no doubt appealย to the Francophiles among us.
โSince travelling the globe, I have always been inspired by the beautiful and exotic.ย When Porterโs Paints approached me to design an exclusive wallpaper collection, I was excited to develop a range of signature Collette Dinnigan prints that combine my love of colour and artisanship, exquisite block prints and European detail, so that Porterโs clients and customers can enjoy them in their home,โ says Collette Dinnigan. The designer’sย love of intricate craftsmanship, Parisian flea markets and artisanal wares have most definitely underscored her creative output over the years. Itโs also a signature that has been enjoyed by fashion lovers for a long time now so itโs fabulous for the interior lovers to get a taste of it too.
The signature design from the range โPaisley Botaniqueโ looks as sumptuous as it sounds. The designer has been continuously inspired by the traditional craft of Indian wood block printing on fabric and, with this design, itโs easy to understand the obsession. We love it in the pink colour way but aqua and gold combination is equally beguiling. Another design,ย โFleur Diamond,โ is inspired by French royal emblems and subtle ornamentation while ‘Le Napoleon’ has a French neo-classic vibe and the designย can be laid in several different ways –ย on its own or in combination with the other two designs.
