wall art from paris

Posted on October 7, 2011 by danielle| 4 Comments

Bartsch is a decorative painting workshop specializing in children’s rooms. This company from Paris, France, was founded by cousins Gala and Nicolas. They have combined their skills to create collections of chic and playful patterns in their Parisian workshop. Bartsch, whose name comes from their great-grandfather, is the result of the relationship between graphic design and decorative painting.

Bartsch brings back into fashion the French tradition of decorative painting by imagining collections for children, with modern patterns and colors. Special care is devoted to the quality of materials, the color palette and the use of traditional craftsmanship to create a durable and elegant result.

Designs from the Bartsch catalogue are adapted to each space, depending on its size, light and spirit. Each pattern is hand-painted directly on the wall. ou can see the gesture and the brush strokes; you can feel the texture of the material. You will never find the same pattern or the same texture twice. Each wall is absolutely unique. More information can be found on Bartsch’s website.

I LOVE this robot wallpaper design by Dutch design label Studio Ditte. It makes me want to redo my son’s room right now! After a journey through containers with small hardware parts and disassembling appliances, Studio Ditte brings a unique robot wallpaper. The army of friendly robots is made from old prints and decorated with small finds. The robot wallpaper is a blend of the nostalgic and the digital age.

This super cool wallpaper is available here (135 EUR per roll).

Do you have tiles in your bathroom or do you prefer a different coating on your walls? Today’s post features both options! Tadelakt (as used in the image above) is a great if you don’t want to use tiles in your bathroom or kitchen. It is a waterproof lime plaster traditionally used in hammams and bathrooms of the riads in Morocco.

The beautiful shiny tiles in the picture above give a totally different effect and atmosphere (tiles and image from Walker Zanger).
