There is a growth in the popularity of china and  Notting Hills fashionable lifestyle store, recently updated its walls with panels of chinoiserie paper, The new  Shanghai Tang shop in Sloane Street has plastered its walls, ceiling and blinds with large-scale yellow florals by De Gournay, a manufacturer of hand painted wall paper and silk.

Indulgence
During most of the early 20th century, tastes leaned towards austerity, machine manufacture and mass production. Now the 21st century sees re kindled interest  in quality, handwork, and customised made to order looks.
Quality and individually customised goods are the new focus for the consumer.
Flower arrangments
Flower arrangements have an important contribution to the Indulgence presentation, one of our influences is Constance Spry who opened her first flower arranging school in 1929 in Mayfair. The flower arrangement style she created adorned some of the most historical events such as the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth and Gala evenings at the Royal Opera House.

Wallpaper
Wallpaper is undergoing a revival and certainly suits the Indulgence trend (based on Parisian retro style).
The trend started with UK-based restaurant designers:
We have seen a subtle chinoiserie-meets-art deco spin on the interiors of Marco Pierre Whiteâs Mirabelle and Belvedere restaurants in London and Emily Todhunter used it at Raymond Blancâs famous Le Manoir aux Quatâ Saisons in Oxfordshire, England,all emerging proof of its newfound style popularity.
