DESIGNER WALLPAPER Would you like to create a really stylish ambiance in your home? We have asked selected artists to show us their version of wallpaper. Artists have a knack of seeing their surroundings through different eyes. Let them inspire you to design your walls individually. When choosing a designer wallpaper, you really must make sure that it is appropriate to you and your home. Some wallpapers are restrained and bring out the character of the home. Others are real eye-catchers and dominate the furniture and accessories. And by the way, you don’t need to cover the whole wall every time. A wallpaper panel or a border can work wonders when it comes to wall decor. And, before you buy, think about the amount of furniture in front of your new wallpaper. This has a bearing on the choice of motif.

Nicoletta Braccioni
As well as painting, the artist Nicoletta Bracchioni is also involved with sculpture and ceramics. The motifs for her designer wallpapers are influenced by marble and Japanese Raku pottery: the patterns remind you of the craquelling glaze, the cracks in the surface of pottery, or the classic marbled stone.

Spinning tops and UFOs in luminous colours whir across the wallpaper. Hang on a second … UFOs? A second look shows them to be the sparkling colours of the rides at a funfair, photographed by Gaby Jacob for our designer wallpapers.

Christiane Elle
Christiane Elle is fascinated by fashion, by its trends and colours. This can also be seen in her designer wallpapers. Elle creates abstract flower patterns for the floral wallpapers, to the point where they consist only in form or colour.

Christian Camenzind is a passionate landscape photographer. He has edited and defamiliarised the landscapes that he has photographed for our designer wallpapers. Some create a stipple effect as if with coloured pencils, whilst coloured rain appears to fall on nature in others.

To capture the individual character of a place – that is the passion of photographer Hannes Cmarits. Our designer wallpapers show that he does so with quite remarkable success. When you look at the wallpapers with city motifs, your reaction is spontaneous: yes, that’s New York.

Erich Dapunt
What is inside and what is outside? It’s a question that anyone hanging photo wallpaper on their own four walls needs to confront, since not only do photo wallpapers bring the outside world inside, they also open the space outwards and expand it.

Greta Schnall
Greta Schnall
Architects and photographers are interested in spatial effects, lines and incident light. It’s no wonder, then, that photographers are often inspired by architecture. Photographer and wallpaper designer Greta Schnall also has a weakness for buildings. But she doesn’t just reproduce images of them – she builds her own fantasy structures in a utopian show that she calls “Fantastic Houses”.

Harald Kastlunger
Harald Kastlunger
Artistic ability, a marked instinct for colour and a deep sensitivity are the prerequisites for art, according to Harald Kastlunger. And it is above all the colourfulness of his fantastic realism works – which Kastlunger has made available for our Designer wallpapers range – that impresses: luminous blue, red and green backgrounds teem with giants, witches, knights and other mythical figures. Kastlunger draws his inspiration for these paintings from the ancient myths and legends of his South Tyrolean homeland.

Katja Hammermüller
Katja Hammermüller
“Universe”, “Future” … you only need to look at the title of a Katja Hammermüller picture to know that it is about something significant, life’s pressing problems and the truly big stuff. But isn’t that all a bit serious – and most likely complicated too? Not when it’s by Hammermüller. Her pictures are not just colourful but an absolute riot of colour, gaudy even, a unique colour buzz, an explosion of red, blue, green and yellow – full of joie de vivre.
