Take This Home: Barneby Gates Wallpaper

A fashionable flat calls for the exquisite designs of Alice Gates and Aanessa Barneby (an editor at British Vogue). Together, they put traditional design notions through a grinder of creativity for their unique blend of wallpapers, Barneby Gates. Take their Deer Damask series as an example. From far away it looks like a simple pattern, but up close you can see the repeating stag skull motif. Other collections, including Carpe Noctem, Bugs and Butterflies and The Other Eden, take their own cheeky swipes at the expected with a result that's more stunning than satire. Old-school printing techniques along with metallic finishes present another juxtaposition of past and present. Available at barnebygates.com.
