Wallpapers have the power to transform your home and give it a special charm. No one knows this better than the mastermind behind de Gournay—the British company that specializes in crafting the finest hand-painted and hand-embroidered wallpapers that you’ll ever see.
De Gournay was founded during the ’80s by Claud Cecil Gurney, after he toured Chinese factories to learn more about the art of hand-painting wallcoverings. In the decades to come, his brand grew into a true sensation, getting the approval of such celebrities like Kate Moss and Gwyneth Paltrow.
Gurney started his brand in an attempt to keep a dying tradition alive, and he created something extraordinary along the way. de Gournay’s hand-painted wallcoverings are breathtaking and unique, created with the client’s vision in mind.
“de Gournay’s preference is for vibrant, balanced and contrasting colors that create an aura of happiness, allowing you to relax surrounded by beauty after a hectic day… Whatever the scheme or color, our signature attention to detail and quality will always shine through,” explains de Gournay’s official website.
De Gournay has many different collections in store, from plain textured wallcoverings to special collections paying homage to China, Japan, and France. In addition to their signature wallcoverings, this brand also produces matching fabrics and porcelain pieces, ranging from dinner services to lamps, vases, and other decorative objects.
