CommonRoom

Right from the start, CommonRoom worked to bridge the worlds of art and interiors and blur some of the lines between fine and applied arts. They make wallpaper by artists – to make high-quality art accessible to the many rather than the few. They commission original designs from contemporary artists and produce an annual archival collection that commemorates the great history of artist wallpapers.

Everything they do is underpinned by stories and a desire to make complex ideas simple while still leaving room for the viewer to bring their own meaning. Wallpaper has generally been thought of as background rather than foreground – but not at CommonRoom. Their wallpapers are designed to challenge and excite. Just like every great artwork.
