Unleash the Hounds


On our wallpaper inspiration blog, our most popular concept has been Great Wall's over-sized houndstooth.  
I created this collage on our Polyvore account. 

With such a bold patten, you may think your decor options would be limited; not so. This wallpaper is amazing for mixing with simple white or neutral furniture.  Because it is achromatic, it's also great for contrast with your favorite color. Houndstooth checks originated in the woold cloth of the Scottish Lowlands. It has become an iconic pattern now, being used in clothing, phone covers, bags, hats, pillows, even nails.

The book "Knoll Textiles, 1945- 2010" features a houndstooth skyline used as 
an advertisement for Knoll Advertising 1965.



The houndstooth is the first in a signature collection of fabric-inspired wallpapers that Great Wall has in the works.  Your favorite fabric textures will be printed on high-quality wallpaper in customizable colors. By creating it in such a large scale, this classic look is far from boring.  We will also be launching an aubergine version. Remember that all of our wallpapers are available in custom colors.
