New Wallpaper Collections:

Now that we have another pair of hands adding wallpaper to our website we’re adding more new collections daily than ever before! As they don’t all make it onto our homepage presented below are those that weren’t given homepage featured status:

Galerie Peacock Alley

Galerie Peacock Alley (CLO975)

Art imitates nature in its simplicity and its complexity. Peacock Alley pays homage to both. Layers of texture enhance the art and bestow a sense of antiquity in this beautiful collection ordered specially from USA.

Portfolio Estetica

Portfolio Estetica (37701)

A wide range of colours means this floral collection of patterns offers something for everyone. The only reason we opted not to showcase this collection on our homepage was due to the fact we had showcased dozens of floral patterns over the previous weeks already.

Other designer wallpaper added recently include: Premier Essens, Ashford House Calypso by Galerie, East of Eden by Colemans, aswell as introducing numerous new brands to our website including the stunning “Euphoria”, “Reflections”, and “Woodland” collections by Prestigious Textiles, “Silver Leaf” and “Special Effects” by Ronald Redding and a brand new offering by Vivienne Westwood.

In Other News – Select Wallpaper on TV!

That’s right! Select Wallpaper will be mentioned for the first time ever on TV soon, hopefully within the next month. We were delighted to supply wallpaper for the home makeover program “60 Minute Makeover” and have already been provided with some wonderful photographs taken on the day. We’ve been asked not to release the photographs until the episode has aired so keep your eyes peeled on our Twitter account to be updated about when they’re released.

Red wallpaper winning the Squidoo battle!

We love creating lenses on Squidoo and enjoy seeing which of our pages proves to be the most popular with our readers. For a while our Anaglypta wallpaper lens was flying up the Squidoo rankings, however our red wallpaper lens has now stormed into the lead and is ranked rather amazingly at #146 in the Home and Garden section, out of something like 20,000 pages. Overall it is currently ranked #6,141 out of the half a million plus pages on the website – we’re so proud of ourselves!

Will post Part II of our update summary shortly, in the mean time please don’t forget to follow us on Twitter.

Colemans Mocaccino (30265) Wallpaper

The collection blends a fine mixture of browns and creams that one would expect to see walking into any high street coffee chain such as Costa, Starbucks or Caffe Nero. With the occasional coloured floral pattern to match, ranging from purple shown above to blues and greens, this thick wallpaper has a luxurious texture to match.

Having been on somewhat of an ‘indie-kick’ lately, supporting the smaller hand printed independent wallpaper manufacturers, I’m also pleased to say that we haven’t forgotten about adding collections offered by the old boys. Rod has somehow managed to add three new collections this week, all of them from well known brand names: Harlequin, Graham & Brown, and Farrow & Ball.

Graham & Brown Eco (18445)

Farrow & Ball Bamboo Papers (BP2119)

Harlequin Bakari (75483)

Kerdova Hand Printed Wallpaper

The Kerdova Print website offers all you home decor enthusiasts the chance to customise Zuzana’s wallcoverings online – first selecting the pattern of your choice before selecting upto 5 seperate colours to use on the paper. A unique feature that we’ve been having fun playing with in the office all morning.

Featured twice in Homes & Interiors Scotland magazine, as well as You magazine supplement and The World Of Interiors magazine, Zuzana and the Kerdova collections have officially caught our attention.

Visit Kerdova Print to view (and customise) the wide range of beautiful patterns offered.

Anaglypta Original Arundel Natural Textures RD 100 Wallpaper

I’ve painstakingly been building new lenses devoted to floral wallpaper, geometrical wallpaper as well as a whole array of colours, only to find that Anaglypta is still a timeless classic and as popular as ever it seems. Whether the other lenses will climb quite as high remains to be seen, I’m certainly pleased with the results Squidoo has already shown us in such a short space of time however and I’m continuing to add new lenses daily, as well as revisiting older lenses to freshen them up.

In other brief news the Order Received and Order Dispatched emails have been given a much needed face-lift, aswell as including other additional small details such as our Twitter URL [@SelectWallpaper].

On the techie-techie side of things I’m pleased to announce Select Wallpaper are currently in the process of switching delivery courier from Parcelforce to TNT. More about that at a later date.

Anna Hill Spoonbills wallpaper

Anna’s unique and contemporary patterns can be 100% customised according to her rather lovely website, changing everything from the colour, design, theme and motif, offering her clients a wonderfully unique wallpaper.

Anna was voted the MyDeco.com “One To Watch” Winner in 2008, and her work has been featured by Channel 4 – how she has slipped under our radar for so long I’ll never know.

Colemans Dolce Vita (2835) Wallpaper

Offering a mix of natural tones, floral prints and geometric designs why not view the Dolce Vita collection?

Rod has been busy adding a Ronald Reading collection called Silverleaf which will be previewed shortly – with some rolls being priced at over £400 each they really are quite breathtaking.

I’m pleased to annouce that our lens-building on Squidoo is still going strong. Our latest lens showcases 100 floral wallpapers.

Take a look at our wallpaper lenses, built to showcase our wallpaper collections.

We’ve also built 10 lenses related to wallpaper colours, however our profile is yet to update.

If you’re a Squidoo member please rate our lenses, or drop us a message if you would like us to check out your design related lens.

Select Wallpaper on Twitter

Six months ago whilst reading Smashing Magazine I finally caved and decided to open a Twitter account for us @SelectWallpaper. I’d always been of the opinion (and truth be told, still am of the opinion) that Twitter was created with individuals in mind, not businesses, and so our Twitter account sat dormant for over six months.

Regardless of the fact that I never advertised our Twitter URL (and only posted one update, instantly after signing up) emails continued to land in my inbox on a semi-regular basis informing me that someone else had decided to “follow me”, and so I have once again caved in to temptation and decided I need to update our Twitter regularly. We’ll see how it goes.

Whenever we add a new wallpaper collection to our website we’ll be posting a Tweet, so we welcome you to follow us if that sounds like something you may be interested in receiving (max of one Tweet per day). If you’d just like to chat about design thats cool too… we love finding new websites relating to interior design and home improvement, so feel free to tweet us your URLs. If we like your link it may end up being praised on this blog or added to our website. Brilliant!

I’ll tweet this blog post and then get back to scanning wallpaper. Currently finishing off Galerie Texstyle 2 collection which seems to have been abandoned half way through for some peculiar reason…. oops! Looking forward to hearing from you all
