Old fashioned..or functional and full of character? Anaglypta or embossed wallpaper has that decisive, divisional effect.

Personally, I love it..it protects walls from the bumps and bangs of everyday life and offers a rich, timeless texture that’s hard to find anywhere else.

My marmite moment was what they did to it in the eighties..blinging the raised bits with lightly brushed metallic gold and copper paint..I can feel the bile rising all over again.  But in a deep, dark matt grey or black?

(last 2 pictures mine, all the others from Pinterest)

It’s time to experiment with samples..how high should the dado go? Maybe a whole wall of anaglypta..different anaglyptas….the mind is happily starting to bubble..
