I had a coaching session with a client today. She chose John Lewis cafe as the location. Now it’s been a while since I’ve been in there. They’ve redecorated. This is one of the wallpapers they’d used. Let’s just say it’s a bold choice!

I have to admit, I felt like I was sitting in an Easter Egg. It was a conversation piece for sure. In fact I used it as a metaphor in the session. It’s wallpaper at the end of the day. We are the ones who interpret it – positively or negatively. We assign meaning to it. Based on our views, beliefs and experiences

Whether you like it or not. Someone somewhere made the choice. They must have like it. Can’t imagine it was one person’s decision either.

Having grownup in the 70s, interesting wallpaper was common place. I remember vividly some of the borderline psychedelic offerings from my childhood. I think some are still etched on my retinas they were so bold. But they were of the time.

Probably worth a fortune now…
