SpaceTM meets "Wallpaper Man" Colm O'Gallachor

Colm O'Gallachor, otherwise known as "Wallpaper Man", has over 25 years of experience installing and removing of wall coverings – from grass papers to wide vinyls – so it's perhaps no surprise Farrow & Ball regard him as a recommended paper hanger. SpaceTM reckons he must have seen quite a few interiors, so we took the opportunity to ask him about some of them.

What's the most complicated kind of wall covering you've put up?
The most complicated I have used was a gold leaf. It was more the angles in the room that was difficult.
What's the weirdest?
I think it has to be a graffiti mural I put up in a child's bedroom.
Where is the most amazing space in which that you've worked?
A country home in Fiffe Scotland. I had so many rooms to work with and different wall coverings.
What's the biggest trend in wallpapers at the moment?
I find that I am doing more and more feature walls with Farrow & Ball and Designers Guild papers.
Finally, where is your favourite space?
It is a church in Seville Spain called Iglesia de San Julian. It has the most amazing designs and features. It's something else! If you travel there its worth a visit.
