With the advent of Art Nouveau at the turn of the 20th century, a wide variety of new and modern patterns were introduced for wallpaper and textiles. There was everything from the strictly geometric to the undulating and floral. This particular wallpaper belongs to the latter category with its finely scattered flower stems and lobed leaves that form a playful and harmonious expression.

One of the great sources of inspiration at the time was Japanese woodblock prints with their masterfully composed plant decorations, and perhaps one senses some similar features here.

The Hullebo wallpaper is available in both a mild deep red and a muted medium green, both typical fashion colors of the period around 1900-1910. Together with a matching border, the pattern gives a stylish Art Nouveau feel and is particularly effective in combination with joinery painted in soft tones of, for example, Art Nouveau beige, English red or green umber.

Hullebo was found in one of the workers’ dwellings in Gysinge during an inventory in the early 1990s and has been waiting for a reprint ever since. Now it was finally time!

The wallpaper fits well in both small and large rooms, but here in Gysinge we think the pink would fit extra well as a bedroom wallpaper, as it gives a cozy and homely feeling.

Period wallpaper from the late 19th century in a muted blue tone with a beige background. The wallpaper is a recreation from an old wallpaper fragment of unknown origin. The simple but detailed checkerboard pattern fits both in older houses and in a more modern environment. The wallpaper is also available in a mild green color with a beige background.

The wallpaper has a straight pattern fit and is edge-cut. Printed using the old glue dye technique on unprimed paper. An important step for us in the production of a new wallpaper. However, unpasted wallpaper is slightly more fragile when wallpapering.

The Lars-Daniels farm in Järvsö, is a typical Hälsingland farm from the first half of the 19th century; two-storey, timber, red colored, many windows with green hand-blown glass panes, decorated bridge sprig … The main building has remained largely untouched since it was built. Since it was mostly used as a mobilization camp for the military during the 20th century, there has been no reason to renovate it. The “Great Chamber” is one of the most well-preserved rooms in the house and this stenciled wallpaper comes from there. The date is around 1840. The wallpaper is a mixture of styles; First, one of the 18th century’s favorite patterns – sparsely scattered floral bouquets against a plain background, but here combined with a delicate, lace-like medallion pattern of the type that came with the neo-rococo only a hundred years later. This is what is so interesting about the interior design of the common people, often unconventional style combinations, often “extra everything” but as a final product still neither vulgar nor tasteless. The commoners were masters of this balancing act. Another safe stylistic move is that the stenciled wallpaper is often combined with a calm, single-colored breast panel up to window height, so that the room, despite the large-patterned wallpaper, still became calm and well-proportioned.The original wallpaper is painted with glue paint on rag paper and has been over-papered several times, which is why many of the finest details in the lace pattern have been lost over time. When reprinting the wallpaper, we have been careful to preserve this patina and have chosen not to reconstruct the pattern to perfection. The soul of Gysinge’s wallpapers is generally that they are not so perfect.
