Habitat 15 - Wallpaper

but not as you know it

With its fresh palette of pinks and greens, anchored by a self-patterned wallpaper, this table setting is perfect for a brunch, high tea outdoor wedding or for an outdoor summer dinner party.

Created by Ingrid Pritchard of Scent Floral Boutique in central Wellington, instead of a tablecloth she has used Resene Walltrends 25061 wallpaper. Its large shimmery floral-style relief pattern is the perfect background for delicate egg-shell coloured plates, cut crystal vases and bowls, gorgeous floral napkins and floral posies.

Says Ingrid: “These fresh greens and pinks are very much in fashion at the moment, as is the cut crystal. Together they give a romantic look that’s perfect for a spring or summer table.“

With so many wallpaper colours and patterns to choose from, using wallpaper as a table-cloth is a cost-effective way to easily change the look of the table or create a theme. As Ingrid points out this same wallpaper could be used as a central table runner on a black tablecloth with white flowers and black accessories for an elegant night-time look.
