The skilful combination of colours and textures is a central element of perfect interior design. This also includes the combination of glossy and matt surfaces in the same colour. The juxtaposition of matt and gloss creates dynamism and gives the room depth, character and a touch of avant-garde elegance.
Matching walls and interior tone on tone has a long tradition in Scandinavian interior design. The effect is restrained and timeless.
A good starting point for this very Nordic colour concept are the wallpapers of the traditional Swedish brands Sandberg and Boråstapeter, many of which are in subtle colours. Clear white or grey components in all colour tones allow the wallpapers to recede visually in the room.
For the new collection, the young wallpaper label Mindthegap has collaborated with British designer and interior architect Minnie Kemp. The patterns are inspired by the landscape of Transylvania, the home of Mindthegap, and English eccentricity. They combine gorgeous colours and eclectic motifs.
Wallpapers with winter patterns and snow designs are not only perfect for the festive season, but also bring a timeless elegance to a room. Wallpapers with alpine panoramas, snow-covered forests and nostalgic winter sports themes add a touch of emotion and the perfect dose of alpine chic.

For Joa Studholme, colour curator of the renowned British paint manufacturer Farrow & Ball, one thing is certain: children's rooms allow for many different colour concepts. From pastel shades to bold statement colours, many things are possible to create beautiful and gender-neutral spaces for children to grow up in.
Finding the right combination of wallpapers and colours is a major challenge in wall design and colour consulting. At the same time, it makes a decisive contribution to creating a coherent room concept in the end.
