United Wallcovering: HELLENISTIC DESIGN

Make like the Grecians and opt for a Hellenistic interior-design scheme. 

Founded in 1935, US-based Brewster Home Fashions is a fifth-generation family-owned home decor company that focuses on producing fresh and original products for residential and commercial projects.

At the forefront of home fashions, here, the team from Brewster share their top tips for pulling off the latest decor fad – Hellenistic design – through a careful balance of colour, pattern and texture.

Colour

“The cool blue hues of the Santorini hills are one of the central features of Greece and make for stunning design inspiration! Blue is always a popular colour in design, and when paired with crisp whites, metallic accents, pops of terracotta or earthy browns, and lots of natural light, this look is as refreshing as the Mediterranean Sea breeze.”

Try: Joy De Vie Blue Toile Wallpaper or Crux Chocolate Marble Wallpaper.

Pattern

“It wouldn’t be Hellenistic design without the simple yet gorgeous geometrics found in Ancient Greek artwork: keys, waves, and scalloped edges being the most well-known and beloved Grecian motifs.”

Akemi Light Grey Fan Ogee Wallpaper

Try: Akemi Light Grey Fan Ogee Wallpaper or Zephyr Brown Abstract Stripe Wallpaper.

Texture

“Incorporating a textured wallcovering into Hellenistic styling is a must; the simple yet dimensional addition makes an excellent backdrop for all your other design accents.”

Pollit Champagne Distressed Texture

Try: Cibola Silver Pebbled Wallpaper or Pollit Champagne Distressed Texture Wallpaper.

Round off the look with breezy white drapes, marble and stone decorative objects and surfaces and gold accents.

Brewster’s range of on-trend wallpapers is available at United Wallcoverings in Johannesburg.
