Cecil Beaton was well-known as a photographer, illustrator and designer for stage and film. Recognized for his extravagant and dramatic approach to design, Beaton's homes famously reflected his passion for art and style. That fervor is channeled into this wallpaper design which combines an illustrative pink floral pattern against a contrasting vertical blue texture.
