Claire Coles

by Melanie in Inspiration

Now, you probably have guessed that I’m not a “huge” fan of wallpaper, but these designs, colors, and images from Claire Coles Design are just TOO sweet and unique not to share!

Claire takes hand-sourced vintage wallpapers, embellishes them with silk and leather embroidery, and layers them on the surface to create one-of-a-kind installations. LOVE!! Makes me want to grab a pair of scissors! How about you???

    This is a great idea to adapt to a stencil pattern! I could see this in a panel in a room, or a series of panels, as a focus point wall. Something to keep on file…for just the right client. hmmm…a little paint, a little paper…
