apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Timorous Beasties, a name nicked from the Robert Burns poem, To A Mouse, is the kind of wallpaper you suspect Edward Gorey had in his house. A little goth, a little romantic, it’s provocative – bugs and iguanas, devil heads, flora and fauna – and beautiful as well as beautifully made. We like it as it's shown here, with modern furniture offering a sharp contrast to its lush imagery. We'd also like it in a bathroom or in a small hallway, covering walls, ceiling and doors. In an otherwise, spare room, wallpaper can create a dramatic focal point and eliminate the need for art. Timourous Beasties also carries fabrics, lampshades, cushions and window coverings. Try their window shades inside, to dress up a four poster bed, as Jonathan posted here.
