Wallpaper manufacturers and decorating firms have published pattern books showing rooms decorated with specific wallpapers and matching furnishings since the late 19th century. Here a cut-out floral frieze and borders have been applied to a paper described as 'a simple diaper in satinette', framing each section of the wall. The ceiling border is Anaglypta, a popular kind of embossed wall-covering of the period, often used to imitate plaster mouldings, cornices and other features.
