HAND PAINTED WALLPAPER CHINOISERIE COLLECTION Chinoiserie Collection Ordering Procedure: (1) Choose a Design If you have not found your perfect design in our 2010 Chinoiserie Collection de Gournay staff will be happy to show you a wider selection of designs from completed custom projects and/or earlier standard collections. de Gournay is happy to accommodate client design changes no matter how extensive or to produce entirely custom designs and will provide a quote for either upon request. If you would like something special made to order but do not know what inspiration can often be found in de Gournay’s extensive archive of previous projects and historical documents. (2) Choose a Design Height Plan the height at which the design will end on the wall. de Gournay experts are always available to offer free advice on aspects such as how to use the design to make the room appear taller or shorter, whether a design would look better above a dado, how to make the design look more contemporary or more historic and which designs to use if hanging art. The designs are available in any pattern height between 5ft (152cm) and 12ft (366cm). Heights outside of this range are possible as custom orders at an additional charge. Unless otherwise specified the backgrounds of Tailored method panels are made 1ft (30cm) taller than the wall height given and those of Quick method panels 2ft (61cm) taller than the design height specified. (3) Choose a Background Choose a background colour and construction type from the wide range of options shown on the preceding pages. The different constructions offer the choice between a wide range of effects and surfaces, each of which has differing qualities. de Gournay will be happy to discuss the benefits of each and assist in choosing the appropriate one for each particular project. As well as the full range of standard colours illustrated, custom colours are available in all construction types at an additional charge. (4) Choose a Design Colourway In each design there is one standard palette of design colours which is illustrated on a selection of different backgrounds. Because of the translucent nature of the paints used, the background colour shows through to influence the look of the design colours so they may appear to vary on different backgrounds. The accent colour in standard monochromatic palettes varies because it is chosen to tone with the background colour. www.degournay.com

These can also be specified on different backgrounds and with the same comments as above applicable regarding the translucency of the design paints.

Comparison of Methods The Quick method must be used when sourcing panels from de Gournay stock for immediate use. When used to order panels the process to placement of the order has fewer stages than Tailored orders making it noticeably faster overall. However, there can be considerable wastage during installation and only limited arrangement of the pattern for best effect is possible. The Tailored method requires the client to supply more accurate measurements and its additional charges make the cost per square metre higher although the low wastage makes the overall cost comparable to the...

HAND PAINTED WALLPAPER Using an example to illustrate drawings for the Tailored procedure; This method requires that client first supply accurate elevations and floor plans. If formal architect's plans are not available the room sizes can be given just as well in the hand drawn form illustrated opposite which shows each elevation in relation to the plan view of the space. Upon receipt of room measurements de Gournay will prepare an Elevational Design Miniature as shown illustrated below. In essence this is a drawing showing the elevation of every wall joined to its neighbors to form one...
