As you probably know, we stock Sanderson’s wallpapers and fabrics here at Garrendenny Lane (and will soon be able to supply them online) so I was delighted to write an article on Sanderson’s gorgeous 150th Anniversary collection for Munster Interiors Magazine.

I recently helped Sasha of Farm 21 pick out paint colours and wallpaper for her fabulous new house that she moved into recently. I haven’t been down to see the finished house as yet but here is one photo that Sasha posted recently.  Her living room is wallpapered in Designers Guild’s Leopold.  Isn’t it gorgeous?

WOODLAND

Get back to nature and be inspired by your favourite woodland creatures

Summer’s in the air, the weather’s been very good for a pleasant change and everyone wants to get outdoors and back to nature, and it looks like the interiors world is following suit with this year’s biggest trend, woodland.

Yes that’s right our favourite forest dwelling creatures are the inspiration behind this year’s interior design trend.

Birds have been in vogue for a while, now the focus is on owls.  In terms of animals – foxes, rabbits and badgers are the key animals that epitomise this woodland theme.

So bring a bit of the wilderness indoors to help you get back to nature and keep up to date with the latest trends:

Pet Sounds by Mini Moderns – €49 a roll at Garrendenny Lane.  It features a woodland cacophony of music making creatures. Badgers have never been so cool, or so musical!We will soon have it in stock in the tea towels and cushions too.

Mini Modern’s Owl Rug €560 and Pet Sounds Wallpaper €49 a roll

The Moo wallpaper features farm animals but there are some rabbits there too – go on, see if you can spot them!

And we couldn’t get much more woodland than the gorgeous fabric wall stickers by Love Mae

These stickers will be arriving to Garrendenny Lane Online within a couple of weeks.

We have some fabulous wallpapers to share with you this wonderful Wallpaper Wednesday!!  We have gained exclusivity on spectacular wallpapers by Mini Moderns – Absolute Zero Degrees.  These wallpapers have been featured on a number of noteworthy blogs too – Will at Bright Bazaar’s blog, Kat’s Bambino Goodies, and Grace’s Design Sponge.  And now they are all going to be available online from Garrendenny Lane’s online shop!  They aren’t all up yet, but they will be and I’ll be adding the rugs, mugs, teatowels and cushions as soon as I can.

Fayre’s Fair is exquisite isn’t it? Gorgeous for a child’s bedroom or nursery.  €48 a roll.

Moo is simply enchanting – featuring everything to do with the countryside: horses, cows, windmills, trees, roots, bunny rabbits, beehives ….. and available in 4 colourways. €49 a roll.

And kids are going to love these. A couple of designs are also available in the colourway ‘Snow’ and can be coloured in. See Tick Tock which features every kind of clock imaginable and all can be coloured. €49 a roll.
