WALLPAPERS IN VOGUE AGAIN IN LONDON The smartest bathrooms In London are now papered, said Mrs. Vera Allen, a London interior decorator who reached Wellington in the Rangitane, Wallpaper was high fashion once again. For 10 years Mrs. Allen has been decorating fiats in London, including magnificent penthouse noartments with rentals as high ns £I2OO a year, barristers’ rooms in the Inner Temple, fiats in converted mansions and in modern new blocks. Some of the new wallpapers resembled oak or pine panelling so faithfully that it was only by examining it closely that the difference could be seen. The fire-place was often featured in a livingroom by using patterned paper in a special treatment above it. The new papers were beautiful and artistic and lent themselves to originally-expressed themes of decoration.

Highly-glazed wallpapers for bathrooms allowed the interior decorator full scope to achieve spectacular and pleasing effects. Mrs. Allen papered one bathroom in pale green with bands of bronze paper at floor and ceiling levels and a band of bronze above the bath to make it the focal point. Also effective were marbled designs and others resembling little mosaic bricks. One sumptuous flat of many rooms which included a bathroom for each of the four bedrooms, a study, lounge and dining-room, had one of the loveliest dining tables she had seen. It was of glass set on white wrought iron legs. Diners looked down on real flowers set beneath the top on a second glass surface. the whole table being lit from beneath with soft lights. Quilted bedspreads, hand-quilted curtains and bed ouilts were used in some of the flats being re-furnished. A vogue for dried flowers was supplanting the use of fresh ones in floral decoration in smart London homes and. shops, she said. The idea was introduced by a prominent London florist. Delphiniums. Scotch thistles, wheat, noldcn rod and other items were used. They were treated by being hung head down in a warm, dry room so that they would retain their colour.
