A wonderful day at Decorex On Sunday we attended the opening day of Decorex 2019 at its new venue, London Olympia.

A real highlight of the show for us was the William Morris and Co stand where we were invited to print our own wallpaper tile using one of their beautiful vintage stencils and a pri ..read more
