Black Mountain Excalibur
Fan Dance
LEGENDS OF THE WALL
They were the stories that captivated our imaginations as children and now award-winning wallpaper brand Bobo1325 has brought them to life .
Drawing inspiration from the tales of magic and wonder found in Welsh mythology , as well as legendary historical figures like King Arthur and Boudica , not to mention Excalibur and fire-breathing dragons , Bobo1325 ’ s three-strong ‘ Folklore ’ collection is as wild as it is beautiful .
Three unique designs , Ferndale , Black Mountain Excalibur and Fan Dance , all share exquisite detailing with symbolic details hidden among delicate greenery and rich botanicals .
Black Mountain Excalibur is resplendent in orange and black , with the turrets of ruined castles disguised among dense foliage . Ferndale , in its traditional colour scheme , masks a hidden layer where teeth-baring dragons threaten to strike , while Fan Dance incorporates some blush pinks and lighter greens into the mix .
Designer Beth Travers , who founded Bobo1325 , said : “ I have long been entranced by the tales of King Arthur and the Knight of the Round Table , not to mention formidable females like Boudica and Rhiannon .
“ I wanted to create a wallpaper collection that paid homage to these bewitching tales by pairing elements of darkness alongside the beauty of the natural world .
