Kitchens are high traffic areas, so papering to the floor may not always be practical, particularly if pets and young children are running around. Opt for fresh and versatile botanical greens For a fresh, vibrant finish that exudes energy, pair with the bright green tone, ‘Citrine’ and ‘Portland Stone Pale’ on surrounding walls to bring balance to the scheme.’ 3. ‘Choose a bold wallpaper pattern such as Pomegranate in Bazaar, a rare and early Baroque paisley design which creates a focal point when used on a single wall. This will help you to create a cohesive palette, all Little Greene wallpapers have three suggested coordinating colors to make the color selection process a little simpler,’ she says. ‘Don’t be afraid to use strong color – and consider a wallpaper design with complementary tones that you can utilize on your cabinets. In fact, often bold prints make great for feature and accent walls because they have so much scope for complimentary colors to use on kitchen cabinets.
When thinking about kitchen wallpaper ideas there’s no reason why you can’t opt for bold prints, says Ruth Mottershead, creative director of Little Greene. The work is considered in relation to ley lines and is aligned to nature, the cosmos and the architecture as an atomic field.(Image credit: Little Greene Pomegranate Bazaar Paisley wallpaper) ‘There is a laser locked on to the north star and the laser scanners are set to the rotation of the earth. ‘From the outset, I sought to align the work with the physical context – the architecture, the natural environment and the astronomical orientation,’ says Levine. At night, it forms the heart of a carefully choreographed and precisely aligned laser display. By day, the sculpture, a vibrant red, seems to contain some kind of vibrating, natural energy. The sphere, a complex of steel tube circles coated with nine layers of UV-reactive paint and lacquer, emits 3D ‘ambisonic’ sound, notes from the solfeggio scale. At 25m, the sculpture stands as tall as the house itself and weighs in at six tonnes. The centrepiece of the show is Molecule of Light, a monumental sphere, 6m across, sat on a giant tripod and set on the hall’s front lawn. The middle note relates to the heart chakra and 528hz is sometimes referred to as the love signal.’ There is harmony and natural order to the tones. ‘The numbers of the sound vibrations on this scale are based on sacred geometry and the notes are said to correlate with the energy nodes, chakras, in the body.

Levine remembers John Galliano, Boy George, Vivienne Westwood and Jazzy B – a prime clutch of 1980s icons – gathering in the grounds at 4am to watch the purple rain summoned by his laser beams. The Marquess of Cholmondeley, whose family have called Houghton home (actually second home) since the end of the 18th century, had commissioned Levine to create a laser installation for a private party. The light artist Chris Levine created his first lambent spectacle at Houghton Hall almost a decade ago.
