Wall Candy: Dupenny Wallpapers

I think I might be a little bit in love with Emily Dupen-Hopkins. She lives by the seaside in Brighton, and spends her days doodling retro housewives, buxom burlesque beauties, animals and zombies, before hand screen-printing her designs to create amazing statement wallpaper that’s unique and playful without being amateurish or zany for the sake of it. And if that wasn’t enough to induce awe and envy in equal amounts, she’s also been shortlisted for an Elle Deco British Design Award, admits to an obsession with felt-tip pens, and says on her website that she can be bribed with tea and chocolate hob-nobs. My kind of girl.

My favourite is the burlesque design, priced at £90 a panel, but I also have to admit to being quite taken with this cheeky call girl-themed design, which comes with optional green star stickers to cover the gratuitous bits. Although I’m not sure my gran would be impressed when she next comes round to visit…
