Flock Wallpaper
Flock wallpaper has a raised, velvety pile you can feel with your fingertips, so the pattern stands proud of the surface and catches the light. Fine fibres are applied to the paper to build that soft texture, which gives a damask or a floral real depth and makes a dining room, a hallway or a bedroom feel rich and enveloping.
The damask is the classic flock design. Graham & Brown's Established collection includes Gothic Damask Flock, and Arthouse's Sophie Conran Flock collection has Palais, a glamorous flock damask, while their Vintage collection sets a black flock damask against a metallic background. Galerie's Style Sisters offers a simple, indulgent white flock stripe.
Flock can be thoroughly modern too. Eijffinger's Revive collection uses textured flock for graphic arches and checks with a playful retro influence, and Thibaut's Natural Resource 2 Wallpaper Collection has Tiger Flock, its markings raised in soft flock. Arte's Senah includes Lumera, a flowing relief drawn from classical sculpture and finished in velvet, which also softens sound in a room.
Flock sits naturally beside damask wallpaper, metallic wallpaper and textured plain wallpaper, and its pile makes a lovely companion to velvet fabric.
