Wow – who would have thought Anaglypta wallpaper would make a comeback. It’s not something that ever made an appearance in my family home as my mother was very sniffy about it but I have strong memories of it in childhood friend’s homes. Suffice to say Anaglypta is not something I had ever considered either but after seeing a post on swoonworthy I am converted. The images are fabulous and it just goes to show how some beautiful styling can make an outdated product become desirable again.

[caption id="attachment_2985" align="aligncenter" width="442"] Deco Paradiso[/caption] It’s perfect as a dado for stairs and landings that take a lot of knocks from young children, where a quick recoat of paint instantly freshens up the walls and ideal for walls that have uneven plaster.

What’s not to like? What do you think – will you be putting up Anaglypta any time soon? Jacqui x
