de Gournay, a British luxury interiors company, specializes in creating breathtaking hand-painted wallpaper, fabrics, and porcelain. These hand-painted works of art were born out of necessity when founder Claud Cecil Gurney sought to buy 18th-century hand-painted Chinese wallpapers to decorate his London townhouse. Proving to be difficult to find or too expensive, Gurney went straight to the source and commissioned hand-painted wallpapers from artists in China.
Today, de Gournay has showrooms around the world spanning from New York to Shangai, and features a vast array of hand-painted wallpapers rooted in the tradition of centuries-old chinoiserie panels, often depicting lavish, vibrantly hued garden scenes.
According to the brand’s philosophy, de Gournay’s preference is for vibrant, balanced and contrasting colors that create an aura of happiness, allowing you to relax surrounded by beauty after a hectic day. Wallpaper Collections include the Chinoiserie Collection, the Scenic Collection, the Japanese & Korean Collection, the Diaghilev collection, and more.
