BEST FOR RETRO OLDER KIDS
The Fantie Flags fabric is fab for older kids. The tribal drawings make it fun and qwerky and the historical connection makes it very interesting. The Picture Show fabric in the Spectator/Picture Show range is lovely too and would be great for older girls and looks good as a cushion (pictured here).
Large collection of nice coordinating children’s fabrics and papers. Some pretty Cath Kidston style florals and pastel stripes and checks. The more patterned fabrics are a bit fussy and your little one would grow out of them quite quickly but they might be good for a nursery.
B&Q have got some great children's wallpaper that would look lovely in a nursery or kid's room and with prices from £10.48 you can't really go wrong!
Our favorite is the qwerky and original 'Birds of a Feather' wallpaper. It's slightly more expensive than some of their other papers at £19.95 a roll but it's worth it and looks great.

Some eye-catching wallpapers created by ex-Vogue Living Editor Vanessa Barneby. The new range called "Typecast" is stunning. It is currently only availble in vintage gold (pictured here) but they will be offering a fully bespoke service on it. If you look closely you'll see there are words amongst the jumple of letters. Customers will not only be able to select their own colour but they will also be able to give 6 or 7 words of their choice to put into the paper - Fantastic.
The Bugs and Butterflies paper is stunning too.
Wonderful, new, Parisian inspired wallpaper which will bring a touch of romance and glamour to any wall. Designed by Famille Summerbelle the Franco-British duo behind Bodie and Fou's well loved London, Paris, NYC and San Francisco city maps which look great.

Ella's work is immediately catches your eye. With wonderful fabrics made from her abstract photography her blinds and cushions will certainly add a bit of edge and design to your room.

BEST STRIPE
Some beautiful fabrics and cushions. The Autumn and Palermo (pictured here) stripes are very pretty and come in lovely colours. For a more retro look the Betty fabric is very cool. With prices starting at £27 p/m they aren't too expensive either.
