Red colour: strong impact Katja Hammermüller’s wallpaper designs make amazing use of funky colour. Luminous red dominates, a powerful colour that has a strong impact on spaces. An impact that requires a little colour psychology. Red has a stimulating and invigorating effect. We associate it with fire, eroticism and drive, and it exudes self-confidence and attracts attention. When red cast alongside neutral colours, such as black, white and grey, red immediately takes the starring role. It combines harmoniously with orange and pink, while producing a highly charged contrast when used with its complementary colour, green. In short, red truly brings the home to life! Living with red wallpapers Because red has such a stimulating effect, it is not so well suited to rooms where you would like to relax. The same cannot be said for the living space, where red wallpapers have a warm and cosy effect. Kitchens and dining rooms also provide a good place for red wallpaper, as red increases the appetite and the sensual experience – or the joy – of eating a delicious meal. And what about your workspace? Used here, a red wall stimulates you and sparks your drive and creativity. However, red wallpaper also needs space, since small rooms appear even smaller decorated with red wallpaper. The solution for small rooms is to decorate only a part of your wall with red wallpaper which introduces the colour red to the space without diminishing it visually. Energy-charged and full of joie de vivre Red on its own is invigorating enough. But Katja Hammermüller’s motifs provide stimulation many more times over! She combines red with lots more luminous colours, and her designer wallpapers are an expression of sheer joie de vivre. Ranging from the abstract “Untitled” through “Dancing Mimi” and “Ways”, her highly charged colour combinations reverberate with energy and truly lift the spirits. When we at Tapeterie saw Katja Hammermüller’s pictures for the first time, we were immediately impressed by the powerful radiance of her motifs. And you instantly start to wonder where the inspiration for her pictures comes from. Even as a child, says Hammermüller, she was happy to retreat into her own imaginary worlds. In her (day) dreams, she processes everyday life, journeys and emotions in a quite unique way. Now as an artist she brings the joy and curiosity she has for everything that a zany colourful life offers to paper, canvas – and wallpaper. Select a designer wallpaper by Katja Hammermüller and you’ll have a little piece of this joie de vivre on your wall. Be inspired and be stimulated … we hope you’ll have lots of fun with a wallpaper by Katja Hammermüller!
