Kitchen concepts 2 by Brewers: vintage advertising wall covering

Brewers
Like something to read as you eat your breakfast? Then perhaps your home could benefit from Brewer's Kitchen Concepts 2.

The covering is decorated with hundreds of different newspaper adverts that look like they date back to the early twentieth century, so there's plenty to interest the eye. It's made from vinyl meaning it's most suited to those areas needing to withstand some serious wear and tear – though it's called Kitchen Concepts 2, it could look quite eye catching in a small bathroom space. 

The covering costs £31.95 a roll.
