Digital print technology has transformed what is possible in architectural restoration and decorative design. At EverGreene, digital printing complements traditional conservation, decorative painting, and specialty finishing techniques. It can facilitate recreating historic wallcoverings and decorative patterns that have been damaged or lost, reproduce complex designs consistently across large architectural spaces, and bring entirely new custom designs to walls, ceilings, panels, and other surfaces.
From Fragment To Full Recreation
When an original wallcovering or decorative finish is too deteriorated to preserve in place—or survives only in fragments, photographs, drawings, or archival documentation—digital technology can provide a pathway toward accurate recreation.
EverGreene’s conservators, designers, and decorative artists study surviving materials and historic documentation to reconstruct patterns and develop reproduction artwork. A small section of wallpaper, stencil, textile, or decorative motif can become the starting point for recreating an entire architectural surface. Depending on the project, this process may include historic finishes investigation, archival research, pattern reconstruction, color matching, sample production, and on-site mockups.
The printed elements then provide the foundation for additional hand painting, glazing, gilding, distressing, toning, or other specialty finishes. These treatments can introduce depth, variation, and texture that help a digitally produced surface integrate naturally into an architectural environment. This hybrid approach combines the precision and repeatability of digital production with the character and adaptability of traditional craftsmanship.
Custom Wallcoverings For New & Historic Interiors
Beyond restoration, digital printing opens new possibilities for custom decorative design. EverGreene’s artists and designers create original wallcoverings, murals, decorative panels, and other architectural surfaces tailored to each space. Artwork can be created by hand, digitally, or through a combination of both, then adapted and scaled into repeating patterns or large-scale compositions. The result is a completely custom decorative treatment designed specifically for its architectural setting.
