Character and Sporting Wallpapers

The motto from Lewis and Wood: "In a market saturated with choice, it is crucial to produce things that are different. We were first known for our witty "sporting" and "character" wallpapers, then the 'big prints' on natural fabrics and now the "wide width" wall papers, all designed to bring a lasting pleasure at a fair price."  The company of Lewis and Wood do all of the above very well and last month we showed you some of their large bold prints. This week take a gander at a few of their great Sporting and Character wallpapers!
