Swarovski Wallpaper Fit for a King









Swarovski Elements has launched its first collection of wallpaper, with designs incorporating Swarovski crystals. Designed by British wallpaper designer Karen Beauchamp in collaboration with the brand's design team, the collection uses the innovative technique of 'crystal printing' to create dazzling patterns. The launch took place in Portland Place, London, in the house where the Oscar-winning film The King's Speech was filmed - perhaps an aptly regal location for the glam and bling of a Swarovski event.










The collection comprises nine designs featuring Swarovski crystals and two coordinating plain wallpapers, each in a range of colourways. Versailles (top image) is at the contemporary end of the collection, with a metallic leather aesthetic and clusters of crystals in a grid design. For our simple tastes, our favourite is Diamond Trellis, a geometric and playful design that uses the crystals in a simple way with dramatic effect (above).
