Long gone are the days ofย plain striped and block colourย wallpaper; now, wallpaper is art, it is removable and it is unlike anything you’ve ever seen.
One such businessย leading the pack is The Paper Merchants. Who, through partnerships with emergingย artists have created a series of wallpaper prints that allowย homeowners, renters and commercial clients the ability to frequently change their wall coverings with affordability and without damage.
[contextly_sidebar id=”s5jpbV3njTVkRYVPCI5NoTVmsJZhNGmp”]Started by friendsย Paul McKie, Myles Sharpe and Brenton Craig, the trio searched high and lowย for artists whoseย unique styleย could be translated intoย wallpaper. “Our artists play a big role in separating us from any other wallpaper suppliers,” says Paul. “Ourย launching artists all have very different processes in arriving at their finished artworks. This in itself gives the feeling of authenticity and consideration.”
With their debut collection including the works of six artists, The Paper Merchants team were very consciousย of keeping the brief open.ย “We were very mindful in keeping our brief to the artists very liberal,” explains Paul. “We wanted their personal style to filter through to the finished wallpaper prints. Our only prerequisite was that we had the ability to tile their patterns or use full images across what we term as a ‘standard wall measurement’.”
With six diverse artists, who have created a handful of wallpapers each,ย there is everything from bright and loud prints to pastels, geometrics and florals. Applied and removed with water, the wallpaperย is perfect for short or long-term use.ย It alsoย has great environmental certifications, is responsibly sourced, odourless and Greenguard certified.
