Edwardian Wallpaper~

For the window display, Kate and I have been looking in Edwardian wall paper and general inspiration from this time.

Though he a Victorian textile designer, the William morris style for flowers and intricate colours where brought through to the Edwardian age. People where tired of the dark colours of the Victorian era and opted for something lighter and fresher.





As King Edward VII's rein only lasted a mere nine years, it's hard to pin point and exact style for the era. It was still heavily influenced by the Victorians and just as it began to take off, George V began to reign and the style of era's of course shifted again.
