Lemieux et Cie Brings Historic Inspiration to Modern Homes
A new wallpaper collection, Lemieux et Cie, is bringing a blend of classic and contemporary style to UK homes, inspired by historical wallcovering designs from around the world. Now available at independent retailer Beautiful Walls, the collection reflects the work of designer Christiane Lemieux, whose pieces marry intricate detail with a modern aesthetic.
Lemieux, a designer known for her craft-focused approach, has drawn from an array of traditional patterns and techniques in creating this range. The collection, made by hand, is composed of rich textures and layered designs aimed at appealing to homeowners who want both impact and versatility in their interiors.
Beautiful Walls Managing Director Tim Dixon commented on the collection’s unique place within the current wallpaper market. “This collection was inspired by the wallpaper classics of years gone by, and it’s been given a modern update for 21st-century living,” he explained. “Each design has been crafted with visual impact in mind but also has a subtle quality to ensure it works in harmony with existing home styles.”
Lemieux et Cie features 14 designs that range from intricate geometrics and classic florals to more abstract, mural-inspired pieces. For example, one notable design within the collection depicts rolling ocean waves, offering a striking centrepiece for larger spaces. Another, Painterly Labyrinth, channels the ancient structural beauty of a maze, available in five unique colour schemes.
One of the more unusual designs, Orly Tigers, draws inspiration from Tibetan heirloom prayer rugs, infusing the collection with a global touch and traditional artistry. Other designs, such as Kami Paperweave and Plein Air Palms, showcase Lemieux’s signature style of blending artisanal influences with contemporary forms. Kami Paperweave echoes the textures of handcrafted woven patterns, while Plein Air Palms offers an impressionistic take on palm fronds, adding a light and naturalistic element.
According to Dixon, the collection is intended to push design boundaries by exploring texture, pattern, and colour. “Whether you’re drawn to the timeless elegance of a damask or the modern edge of a geometric print, this collection has something for all interiors fans,” he said. Dixon added that the collection’s breadth allows for both statement-making designs and understated accents, enabling it to appeal to diverse tastes and home decor styles.
Beautiful Walls expects the collection’s versatility to resonate with homeowners looking to elevate their interiors. With prices starting at £80 per roll, Lemieux et Cie offers a range of options for both single accent walls and entire room transformations.
The Lemieux et Cie collection’s arrival at Beautiful Walls highlights a growing trend in interior design, as consumers seek to personalise their spaces with unique, globally inspired styles. Combining old-world charm with modern elegance, Lemieux’s designs serve as an invitation to revisit classic styles through a contemporary lens, giving homeowners a fresh perspective on time-honoured traditions.
Lemieux et Cie is now available in-store and online at Beautiful Walls, promising to bring a refined, eclectic touch to interiors across the UK.
