History of Wall Decoration
The decoration of the inhabited space has engendered humanity from the beginning. Even the caveman was trying to make his surroundings more beautiful and cosy with cave drawings. Over time, the desire to create the living environment around us much better with the help of wall decorations has increased. In the 11th century, embossed and gilded leather ornaments were most common, but expensive fabric hangings also appeared in French and Italian castles and later, all over Europe. Not surprisingly, the tremendous change was brought about by the mass production of wallpaper in the early 1800s. Due to the dynamic development of the printing industry, more people had the opportunity to purchase cheaper wall decorations. Although previously, only the privileged and well-off were given this luxury.The Wallpaper Age
Wallpaper has been produced for a wide range of audiences, the explosive growth allowed of these products to appear on a broader substantial style palette. A unique and fascinating peculiarity of the human race is that it captures emotions, desires or loved ones with the help of materials appearing in its surroundings. Wall decoration evolved, as demands grew in parallel with the improvement of our environment and the elements claiming to design and decorate. From the 14th century onwards, beside embossed, gilded leather, we encountered particularly expensive fabric draperies in French-Italian castles, and the homes of the feudal aristocracy of Europe, elevating the prestige, richness and propriety of its wealth to the world. Later, wall decorations changed significantly, but one thing remained the same. By far, this is one of the best alternatives for decorating narrow spaces.
