British TV personality and 'King of Wallpaper' Paul Moneypenny is known for his exuberant, eclectic style and has designed his own wallpaper collection with Grandeco. Get started with his tips and immerse yourself in his universe of quirky designs for a colourful and bold feel-good interior.

In today's society our home is our biggest asset. It’s a safe haven where we live, work and relax. After a long period of neutral interiors, we are longing for a splash of colour and experimentation again. This led to a collaboration between Grandeco and Paul Moneypenny earlier this year. Based on Paul’s eclectic, colourful style and years of experience working within the wallpaper and fabrics industry, the British TV personality and 'King of Wallpaper' worked hand-in-hand with the Grandeco UK design team to design and develop a wallpaper collection that is unique, accessible and easy to apply.

He has lavished his designs with a generous portion of feel-good vibes - "During the creation process, I do not want to feel constrained. I want to be able to make choices that give me a good feeling and positive energy that I can pass on to others through wallpaper.”

Follow Paul Moneypenny's wallpaper tips for a colourful and bold feel-good interior

1. Mix and match patterns

“I never follow trends for trends' sake. I do predict which trends will stick around for a long time and when you combine two keepers, magic will be created. No matter how divergent they are - Wild florals in duo with marble-print wallpaper? Just go for it!"

2. Choose one multi-coloured motif and colourblock

“Wallpaper is the tool of choice to bring colour into your home. Those who find it too daring to mix and match contrasting motifs can also opt for wallpaper with one multi-coloured motif and then complement it with a second, colourblock wallpaper in one colour. Or combine with textured wallpaper. That gives depth to your interior. And just that little extra punch.”

3. Play with colourful decoration
