Only 9 days until Decorex – eeeek! We’ve had some fabulous press on the new collection in the last few weeks and were utterly thrilled to be included in IDFX Magazine’s Decorex Preview this month….thank you! 
Check out the current issue of Living Etc. (September 2011) where the lovely Morag Bruce has featured our new Horse Trellis wallpaper, with the fabulously apt sub-title – ‘Rear of the Year’. It certainly made us smile…
Jess Lavers of EHG Design commissioned us to do a bespoke version of our Typecast wallpaper for a (very young) client… We highlighted the J’s and the H’s (his initials), and re-coloured using Farrow & Ball’s chic Parma Grey on Slipper Satin. A winning combination we thought for, perhaps, the coolest kid on the block…
When I worked at Vogue, I did a monthly page looking at a catwalk trend that had found it’s way into the home, so we were thrilled to see our wallpapers have been featured in a similar ‘Catwalk to Couch’ story in South African House & Leisure’s June 2011 issue, thanks to our new South African distributor The Silk & Cotton Company. We felt inspired!

Strolling down Portobello Road the other evening, we were delighted to see our motto ‘Carpe Noctem’ emblazoned across a t-shirt in a shop window display… 
The name of a wallpaper from our very first collection – Carpe Noctem is our take on a classic British heraldry design, featuring tongue in cheek metallic crests on a bold pinstripe base…

Check out the May issue of House & Garden, where Florence Rolfe’s Insider Swatch ‘Spring Roll Out’ story features BG’s new ‘Wild Meadow’ wallpaper alongside designs by Sanderson, Osborne & Little and Farrow & Ball.
