Objects Of Design #190: C’est Magnifique Wallpaper

Perfect for tween or teen
The design will grow with a teenage girl

Some time around the end of primary school and the start of secondary, those young girls start to become very sophisticated and often want to redecorate their bedrooms as a first step towards young womanhood. This wallpaper is perfect for a fashionable young girl about town and its black and white design with pops of colour from the hot air balloons should last them well into A’ levels as they can change their furniture around to create a space that is more bedsit than bedroom.

  1. Very nice idea Kate! Bit of reverse psychology. I can imagine Lucy would be much more receptive to anything I ‘suggest’ if I tell her my suggestion is too expensive for her to have….

    Shame we only renovated her room about a year ago, or I might be persuaded to try it!

  2. This is beautiful – I’m not sure whether my teenage girl would go for it though. Like most teenagers, any suggestions for dear old dad are instantly put in the ‘seriously uncool’ box…..

    1. Well there is always that danger. You could always leave an image of it lying around and say that it’s far too expensive, Paris is very uncool and you would hate to have something so boring and monochrome on your wall. That should do it! It is lovely though isn’t it.
