Ideal papers for ideal homes : Ideal Home Exhibition, Olympia 1927 / The Wall Paper Manufacturers Ltd.
A 1927 sample book issued by The Wall Paper Manufacturers Ltd of London for visitors to the Daily Mail Ideal Home Exhibition at Olympia, showing wallpaper designs for domestic interiors. Its pages are printed swatches of patterned paper, mostly floral, in soft pastel palettes of pink, blue, sage and cream. A designer could take from them the period repeat patterns of trailing roses, berries, foliage and bell-shaped flowers, and the muted colour pairings typical of interwar decoration.
