Stacy Garcia's Parisian Poppies for York Wallcoverings.

Carolina from Sculptured Surfaces Collection, Ronald Redding Design

When it comes to decorating, I am

absolutely obsessed with wallpaper. At an

early age I fell head-over-heels in love. This

young obsession might have something to

do with the fact that both my grandma

and mom were also fixated on pasting roll

upon roll of intricate paper on their wall’s

surfaces, not to mention my mom is a

decorating junkie. I spent many an

afternoon looking over wallpaper samples

and picking out my favorite prints in the

wallpaper store located downtown. The

more fanciful and over-the-top the design,

the better. So when my mom recently told

me about Pennsylvania-made York

Wallpaper, I knew instantly I would be

smitten.

For over 117 years, York Wallcoverings has

been made in the same York,

Pennsylvania, factory producing more

than 100 million feet of wallpaper a year.

With many famous admirers including the

Reagans, who decorated Camp David with

a hunting scene by the company, and the

set designers of Black Swan, who featured

a York butterfly motif in the bedroom of

Natalie Portman’s character, York

Wallcoverings remains as prevalent today

as it was in the 1800s.

Tango with tangerine, the hot color of the year

Prepare yourselves for a spring heat wave.

The 2012 fashion forecast is radiating with

heat from the color wheel. Pantone, the

design industry color trendsetter, recently

released its color of the year for 2012: the

spicy and bold tangerine tango.

Perhaps Pantone chose the color as an

homage to our economic outlook, stating

that tangerine tango "provides the energy

boost we need to recharge and move

forward."

Expect to find various shades of the

"spirited reddish-orange" popping up in

design showrooms, resort wear and 2012

fashion collections.

Designers and stylists across the country

eagerly await Pantone trend reports,

considered by many in the industry as the

standard authority for color trends.

Designers using the 2012 trend report

include Elie Tahari, Nanette Lapore, Tracy

Reese and Peter Som.

Think orange is a challenging color to

wear? Not so, says Austin fashion stylist,

personal shopper and self-professed

orange-lover Edith Henry.

"Orange can be a challenging color to wear

for some, but I honestly think anyone can

pull it off in some way," Henry said.

Henry suggested making a statement with

accessories like "a printed scarf, jewelry or

handbag. Or pair orange shoes with a

skirt, slacks or dress in a print or ‘staple'

color."

Henry also suggested pairing neutral shoes

with a tangerine tango-colored dress.

Use orange lipstick or eye shadow

sparingly, or pick a bronzer with a hint of

orange to add warmth, she suggests. "A

strong colored lipstick such as tangerine

tango calls for a neutral or almost nude

eye," Henry said. "However, to avoid

looking costume-y or overdone, the rest of

the face needs to be polished."

Men shouldn't shy away from orange,

either. Add a pop of color in the band of a

fedora, or for those a little daring, chose a

bright polo, she said.

Use the color to brighten a wall, spice up

your dinnerware or add a flash of orange

with accent pillows in the living room and

bedroom. We've selected items with a

variety of oranges in the tangerine tango

family to inspire your search.

Younger Decorators Spur Wallpaper's Retro Resurgence

Depending on where you live, wallpaper

may or may not be popular. We tend to

presume that traditionalhomes in New

England, the Midwest and the South favor

the use of papers more than those out

West. Theoretically, contemporary homes

use fewer tiny patterns and a bolder blend

of materials, color and more texture; the

homes are more sculptural and less fussy.

Open floor plans can make the application

of decorative pattern considerably more

difficult because of the blurred start- and

stop-points. We see bungalow homes all

over the nation that, despite minor

regional differences, uniformly feature

smaller, well-defined rooms such as a

butler's pantry, dining room, back porch,

living room and bedrooms. Cottages and

the classic Spanish Revival home also

incorporate modestly proportioned

rooms.

But these days, wallpaper is enjoying

something of a comeback among younger

consumers, who find use of wall coverings

affordable and smart. Particularly

interesting is that the selections most

favored by the 30- to 40-year-old crowd

include patterns. We haven't seen this style

in fashion for about 30 years, and because

I've been around so long, I'm amused by

the fact that these retro styles are cycling

back!

Mid-century ranch-style homes are wildly

appealing to 40-somethings, and these

houses traditionally ranged between 1,000

and 1,400 square feet. Arapahoe Acres in

Englewood, Colo., south of Denver, is a

designated historic district of 124 such

homes. The ingenious little houses of

Arapahoe were designed to sell for

$10,000, which was affordable in 1949 if

you were a schoolteacher or a mechanic.

Some of the houses were merely 900

square feet and featured sliding walls or

built-ins that maximized the limited space.

In Los Angeles, the Mar Vista Tract was

developed in the late 1940s. The

1,060-square-foot, flat-roofed houses used

accordion-style folding walls to allow

homeowners to reconfigure their space.

The homes also offered kitchens that

opened onto the living room, which at the

time was an innovation.

And what more perfect application for

wallpaper than the exposed wall of a tiny

kitchen? In addition to being much more

cost-effective than a wall of polished

Kitchen Utensils with Ovals from Bistro 750

Creator's Syndicate, continued



granite or glass tile, the pop of color and

pattern is uplifting.

Pictured is "Kitchen Utensils with Ovals"

from York Wallcoverings; the pattern is

printed on harvested renewable stock in

vibrant teal, salmon and a sharp lime on a

white ground.

One thing to note: If wall covering is to be

used behind or near a cooking surface, it

must be washable. Look for cotton-backed

vinyl that has surface texture. You can

clean these with warm, soapy water, which

makes for a practical surface near the

range or cook top.

At just $42.99 per single roll, the idea of

an accent paper might pencil out under

$100 for a single wall in a kitchen.

Investigate the installation charge and

realize that installers charge by the roll. If

you are handy, even better! You can hang

the paper yourself.

Another desirable feature of textured wall

covering is that it can camouflage

imperfections in a wall surface. If this is

your strategy, seek out textured vinyl

paper or one of the products made from

recycled materials, such as ladies nylons or

newsprint, which can easily conceal bumps

on your wall. Yes, there's a wallpaper

product made with 70 percent newspaper

strips and 30 percent nylon and then

hand-woven on a loom and backed with

paper!

One more positive delivered by the

colorful patterns currently enjoying

market resurgence is an instant color

scheme. One can easily follow the colors

provided in a wallpaper and further

develop the combination of colors in

adjoining rooms. For example, if you focus

on the teal and coral color for upholstery

fabric in a neighboring living room, you

suddenly have a designer-born color

scheme to follow in window treatments,

seating and accessories.

Overhead and Under-Played, Ceilings Are Worth Looking up to

Q: I just returned from my first-ever trip

abroad, where I was really struck by how

much attention the Old World paid to

ceilings! My husband laughed at me

because I practically came home with a

crick in my neck from staring up so much.

Not that I want cherubs and goddesses

over my head, but can't we have more than

plain white ceilings in our houses today? :

For centuries, ceilings were revered as a

fifth wall and received as much attention

as the other four. Right up to the turn of

the 20th century, in fact, Americans

believed in decorative overheads.

A proper Victorian house might have as

many as three different wallpaper patterns

on the ceilings of the important up-front

rooms: a wide border around the edges, a

white-on-white pattern overall, and a

center medallion where the chandelier was

hung.

Blame the International School of

Architecture for stripping away excess

decoration and reducing rooms to plain

white boxes in pursuit of their mantra that

"less is more."

When less eventually became a bore, we

first discovered the country look, then

cottage style, and then retro Victoriana, all

of which revived our taste for pattern,

pattern – and color! – everywhere,

including the ceiling. Designers have

always loved wallpaper designs on ceilings,

especially geometrics like trellises,

openwork checks, even stripes that give a

room life and lift. Ditto for metallics, such

Patterns shown: Crowning Shield RD3594 and Wilshire RD3532 from RRD Sculptured Surfaces.

Creator's Syndicate, continued



as silver, gold and copper leaf, and overall

patterns like the elegant little scrollwork

on the ceiling we show here ("Crowning

Shield" from the "Sculptured Surfaces"

collection by Ronald Redding Designs,

yorkwall.com).

Dancing across a pearl beige background,

the silver design reflects the light and

radiates its glow over the room, abetted by

its coordinating pattern ("Wiltshire") on

the walls. But a few words of caution

about wallpapering a ceiling are in order

before you try it at home. Choose your

ceiling carefully. The higher, the better: A

strong pattern overhead makes a room feel

smaller. Also, choose your wallpaper

pattern carefully: It should be non-

directional so it doesn't end up looking up

upside-down down from any vantage

point. And it should complement the

color and pattern on the surrounding

walls.

Best way to insure this is to choose

patterns that already coordinate and are

planned out by the wallpaper designer.

With a talent such as Ron Redding

orchestrating the design mix, you simply

can't make a mistake.

Q: Orange you glad to learn this?

A: Just when we thought it was safe to

move on past the color orange we've been

living with, here comes Leatrice Eiseman,

executive director of the Pantone Color

Institute, with its new "Color of the Year

for 2012:" orange all over again but with a

bit of a twist.

This time, Pantone is calling it tangerine,

"Tangerine Tango" to be exact which

Leatrice describes as "a spirited reddish

orange." In her colorful words, Tangerine

Tango (aka Pantone 17-1463) "marries the

vivaciousness and adrenaline rush of red

with the friendliness and warmth of

yellow...."

Sounds like a lot more fun than the color

of last year, "Honeysuckle," which

"encouraged us to face everyday troubles

with verve and vigor."

"Manhattan Style" and six other books on

interior design.

Walt Disney Signature Debuts Sequel Wallpaper Collection

When the designers at York Wallcoverings began creating a second wallpaper collection for

Walt Disney Signature, they were given the keys to the kingdom: access to thousands of

images from Disney classic films.

While they borrowed stylistic elements from those movies’ most magical moments, the

designers were shooting for something resonant and, at the same time, more abstract:

enchanting wallpapers as the backdrop to our life stories.

Here are four stunning examples of the wallcoverings in the collection, inspired by the

Disney artwork from Walt Disney classic films. (Also, click here to enjoy a short video

describing the collection.)Debut

Inspiration: Mickey Mouse

The first animated short to successfully use synchronized sound, "Steamboat Willie" (1928)

made Mickey Mouse an overnight star. Mickey’s public debut set the stage for Disney’s

storytelling and artistic influence to flourish for almost a century, with no end in sight.

This bold, Mickey-ear pattern is printed on gold or silver Mylar and is a testament to the

innovation and imagination that Mickey—and Disney—have come to signify.

(WS8000); Cream & Beige on Silver Mylar (WS8001); Red on Gold Mylar (WS8003); and

FlutteR

Inspiration: "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"

"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (1937) was the first full-length cel-animated feature in

motion picture history. Inspired by the film’s opening scene, this design uses glass beading

to add shimmer and dimension. The subtle bird shapes represent the beautifully animated

white doves that surround the innocent princess at the wishing well.

Featured: Glass Beads on Grey Blue (WS8008) from Walt Disney Signature Inspired By

Classic Films, $139.99 per single roll. Also available in Glass Beads on Cream (WS8009);

Golden Glitter & Glass Beads on Silver (WS8010); and Golden Glitter & Glass Beads on

Cream (WS8011).





WinteRsCAPe

Inspiration: "Bambi"

"Bambi" (1942) was a true challenge for Disney animators to depict a realistic natural

world. Innovations like the multi-plan camera helped create the depth necessary to perfect

the look of Bambi’s forest. This design is inspired by that success, with glass beads adding

dimension and the realistic sparkle of falling snow as it adorns the branches of wind-blown

trees.

Featured: Winterscape with Glass Beads on Teal (WS8032) from Walt Disney Signature

Inspired By Classic Films, $139.99 per single roll. Also available with Glass Beads on

Cream (WS8033); Glass Beads on Gold (WS8034); Glass Beads on Glint (WS8035).





enChAnting

Inspiration: "Cinderella"

The box office success of "Cinderella" (1950) allowed Disney to produce more films

throughout the 1950s. In a dramatic scene from the film, the enchanted coach delivers

Cinderella to the ball. The stunning carriage lends its swirling lines and gentle symmetry

to this elegant design.

Featured: Enchanting in Gold on Clay (WS8040) from Walt Disney Signature Inspired By

Classic Films, $69.99 per single roll. Also available in Ash on Dusty Plum (WS8042);

Chalk on Silver (WS8041); Beige on Golden Wheat (WS8043); and Gold on Carbon

(WS8044).

Pantone color authority names 'Tangerine Tango' 2012 Color of the Year

If you enjoy bright, happy colors in your

home and on your body, you will be happy

to hear that the Pantone has named

Tangerine Tango the 2012 color of the

year.

"It's got us fired up," says Anne Martin,

whose company, Anne Martin Marketing

Communications, represents York

Wallcoverings (yorkwall.com) and Chella

Textiles (chellatextiles.com).

"Wallpapers and textiles splashed in tangy

orange hues add vitality to a room, and

stay in step with primary colors and

neutrals."

Pantone is considered the world's

authority on color. Its recommendations

and guides for selecting and matching

colors influence designers of interiors,

clothes and home furnishings.

Along with wallpaper and textiles, expect

to see versions of this energetic, radiant

color pop up in everything from kitchen

and bath decor to floor coverings and

window treatments, area rugs, wall art and

clothes.

Dawn Cook of Dawn Cook Design in

Shaker Heights says, unlike other Pantone

picks of the past, she is happy to see that

orange will be coming on strong in 2012.

"I really feel like it's a worldly color," she

says. "It's getting us out of our box and

taking cues from color schemes that are

broader."

Tangerine Tango and similar potent

orange shades are poised to be a mood

elevator for a country that's worn down

from the recession and where we've been

for a couple of years, she adds.

Neither Pantone nor any other color

forecaster expects people to go crazy with

the color, repainting their whole interior

or filling their closets with head-to-toe

orange.

Instead, people who will embrace orange

-- and not everyone will -- might tune in to

the trend by painting one wall in a shade

of orange that complements their other

walls, update a room with a new throw

rug, or accent a brown couch with an

orange throw.

"That color [orange] looks amazing with

modern shades of blue," says Cook.

"You've got to combine it with the right

thing."

Expect to see up-to-the-minute, fashion-

and homes-forward stores such as Crate &

Barrel and Anthropologie go all out with

this hot color, Cook adds.

Cleveland Plain Dealer, continued



But orange is merely a directional

suggestion, not a dictate.

"In home needs such as paint, a little gray

might be added to it to make it more

consumer-friendly and less shocking,"

Cook says.

Orange is only one of the directional

colors, and color collections, that interior

designers and homeowners can look

forward to this year, to add a fresh face to

dwellings and even office spaces.

Sherwin-Williams and Pratt & Lambert,

both based in Cleveland, have released

their color forecasts, and they're also

enthusiastic about bright shades, tempered

with earth tones, blues and barely there

shades.

Dutch Boy, also based in Cleveland, will

weigh in come March. Sherwin-Williams

focuses on 40 hues that fall into four color

families: Reds, Blues, Greens and

Neutrals. As for red, the company believes

in gradations of fuchsias, red-oranges,

violets and delicate pinks.

"Red has a renewed dominance," says

Jackie Jordan, director of color marketing

for Sherwin-Williams. "But the old taboos

about mixing reds with oranges and

purples don't apply. Our red palette is as

bold and free-spirited as the color itself."

Sherwin-Williams' blue palette ranges

from dark indigo to blues with violet

undertone, to shimmery shades.

As for greens, this eclectic palette focuses

on greens that are lush, such as leafy

motifs, rustic natural textures and organic

elements along the lines of algae, moss and

seaweed. The neutrals this palette is

influenced by raw materials. Picture a

field of grain, pile of pebbles, weathered

wood and earthen clay, says Jordan.

Neutrals also warmed up with gold tones

and soft metallics.

Pratt & Lambert groups its directional

colors and color combinations into five

palettes:

The Essence palette includes ethereal

shades accented by rich earth tones.

Colors include Sparkling Wine, Siam

Blue, Woodland Snow, Hearthstone,

Finesse, Lucina and Black Plum.

The Instinctive group includes

unprocessed, raw colors, including Caf

Cubano, Dark Teal, Leaf Sprout, Peridot,

Dusty Mink and Garnet.

Enough is the palette that covers clean,

basic colors that the company says lend a

feeling of simplicity as an antidote to our

immersion in technology. The palette

features Corsican, Half-Tone, Orange

Spice, Lambswool, Gettysburg and

Spinach.

The Echo colors are meant to be

reminiscent of a traditional American

childhood. The colors are Our Classic,

Pale Cornelian, Montana Sky, Basic

Brown, Cirrus and Frog Belly.

And finally, the Expressive palette

celebrates self-expression with bold,

vibrant shades. They include Buttery,

Cerise Delight, Velvet Night, Eucalyptus

Leaf, Burnished Bold, Amethyst Phlox

and Twilight Chimes.

AkzoNobel is the world's largest paint and

coatings manufacturer. Its North

American headquarters is in Strongsville.

AkzoNobel's portfolio includes Dulux,

Glidden and other well-known brands.

The company conducts color-trends

research that's translated into color

palettes worldwide. It recently released

International Colour Trends 2012.

Its dominant color trend for 2012 is

Appreciation, with five related trends

stemming from the idea. It, too, foresee

lots of variations of lively shades of orange,

environment-inspired greens and neutrals,

and soothing blues. To see the colors that

fall under Appreciation and ways to

combine the shades, go to colourfutures.
