Get the look: Whimsical fabric & wallpaper

Interior design doesn’t always have to be serious to be chic. Your home is a place to channel your creativity and sense of humour and adding a touch of whimsy can create lightness and freedom in your decor. There are infinite ways to bring whimsical accents to your home without it becoming too twee, but as with everything, balance is the key.

'Woodland motifs lend themselves wonderfully to a whimsical scheme, with Cole & Son’s ‘Woods’ or ‘Uccelli’ wallpaper designs making the perfect choice.'

Injecting a touch of humour and personality into your home can be as simple as adding a cheeky framed print or graphic cushion, but an all-out whimsical scheme, featuring assorted animals, woodland backdrops and ethereal fabrics is a wonder to behold.

For a more traditional take on this look, Cole & Son’s Whimsical wallpaper collection features a nostalgic selection of harlequin and star designs, which would work just as well in a children’s room as they would in a dramatic dining space or snug. This Cole & Son collection also features its famous Woods and Woods & Stars designs which have become hallmarks of whimsical wallpaper design.
