VINTAGE AND MODERN FLOCK WALLPAPER…

With flock wallpaper being very fashionable again at the moment you can find a massive choice to choose from at different suppliers, and at very different prices.

New and original flock like the one below with the dogs are quite unique but you can also get hold of some vintage, retro, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s wallpaper and borders.

You can also sell some of your old vintage wallpaper which I’m sure you still have stashed under your bed. ‘Vintage Wallpaper Online‘ is a site dedicated to sourcing and supplying a wide range of the above and they also ‘buy’ old stock.

They are based in the picturesque town of Bridport, situated on the south coast in the county of Dorset, and have been trading in antiques, ancient antiquities and retro furnishings for the past 30 years.

They say there wallpaper side of the business has continued to grow over recent years, to the extent of them now having to take on extra warehouse space to house our ever growing collection. They have recently added a single roll gallery which has proved to be a huge success. Also added to the site recently has been the addition of a border gallery and also a fabric gallery. They stock over 300 designs and different textures are available including flock and hessian. The design range is very diverse spanning from classic vintage to funky retro and kitsch.
