Sight and touch: fabulous sensory wallpaper

We've shown you all sorts of wallpapers, from wacky and interactive to cute and kitsch. With sensory wallpaper, sight and touch play a part in making your walls beautiful: Smooth silky wallpapers evoke a luxurious feel whilst a raised textured pattern can add an interesting dimension and give a graphic look and feel.

Other ways to add sensory dimensions involve wallpaper embellished with raised embroidered designs and vinyl wallpapers in dark gothic colours for a tough, heavy-duty masculine feel.

Here are two examples of sensory wallpaper to give you some inspiration.

Loris singerie:

Loris singerie, Fromental, €405 per square metre. A part embroidered wallpaper design can add a subtle sensory feel and works well to accentuate details in a patterned wallpaper print. This singerie design features monkeys engaged in human acts in a traditional Japanese setting and won a BIDA award for outstanding design innovation in 2008.

Paradiso chinoiserie:

Paradiso chinoiserie full embroidery, Fromental, €1,655 per square metre. Using a chinoiserie design as a template, this pioneering embroidered wallpaper can be adapted with over nine hundred silk thread colours. The sewing in a single fully embroidered chinoiserie panel can take over three months to complete and are truly a work of art.
