WHAT CLIENTS SAY
“Our living room wall was a bit monotonous, so 08/15 white. We had seen Elke's designs at the "Markt der schönen Dinge" exhibition in Braunschweig and were particularly impressed by one example. The new design has positively changed the entire character of the living room with the antique furnishings. The wall design fits the style of our facility perfectly, because Elke adapted it individually for us to the relevant area. She responded sensitively and precisely to our wishes and met our taste with her various preliminary designs. The previous computer simulation also looks exactly like the later result. Our recommendation: If someone is considering redesigning a wall, it doesn't hurt to have a rough idea. Just have the courage to try something new, to deviate from the well-trodden path (always just a white wall) and let yourself be surprised. Elke designed the wallpaper to fit perfectly. Because you can't afford to "waste" the wallpaper that fits exactly to the wall in question, we hired a master painter to do the wallpapering. To be honest, we didn't think we could do it ourselves. We would definitely recommend that.”

“We wanted a special wall design for our guest room that would take into account the old building in which we live and also build a bridge to today.
Elke made us very happy with this great design and far exceeded our expectations. The combination of old ship planks, on which the pattern is based, and the floral "Outburst" unite life and tradition in a unique way. Our guests look forward to good dreams and an inspiring sleep in this room.”

"I find that my café has become something very special because of the wallpaper. Almost like a small museum. It doesn't look like wallpaper, but more like painting on the wall. That's what some of the guests said. Which only speaks for the company that puts the print on the wallpaper. I became aware of Elke through "by Netta". In her store I admired the artistic wall some time ago and wanted to beautify my café with Elke's help. I can only advise anyone who wants to make something special out of a room to get in touch with Elke. She has individual, own, creative ideas and also likes to respond to the wishes of the customer. At least that's how I felt about it!"

"We were looking for something special: an original round carpet 2 m in diameter. But this undertaking was not so easy to realize. Rather by chance we discovered the studio store of Elke Wagner. There, countless products and designs compete with each other. We formulated our wishes and ideas, developed some ideas together, which Elke then transformed into drafts. From these we chose the one. It is original, rich in color, with a lively structure. Now it decorates the entrance area of our house."

"I wanted a whole new look in my entrance area and definitely wanted colour in this room, a wow effect when entering. The colour, quality and pattern of Elke's wallpapers met my taste very much and a first conversation quickly confirmed to me: ‘Here I am right!‘ Elke's motto ‘It should look, wanted!‘, has come up 100% in my hallway and that, although I initially did not know exactly what I wanted. Elke teased out my wishes, recognized them and implemented them wonderfully. Thus, the collaboration was very organic, the basic idea has changed, has grown and I am absolutely satisfied with the result. Just like my guests, I really like this space, no matter from which angle I look at it. It's great to come home here!"

"We came across Elke through a recommendation from a friend. We liked Elke's suggestions and ideas very much right away. We wanted a change for our dining room, because the old wallpaper was already 13 years on. After choosing the wallpaper, we really liked working with her (Elke was very reliable) and had a lot of fun. The new wall design by Elke makes our dining room much fresher, more interesting and is a real "eyecatcher". Thank you, Elke, for your great advice and execution."

"After moving to my new store, it was very important to me to create a cozy atmosphere already in the entrance area and to create a kind of business card that is unique. An appropriate wall decoration with eye-catching furniture would attract audience and also make a very exciting photo backdrop where I could also present my fashion - that was my basic idea. Ms. Wagner gave me wonderful advice and designed a gorgeous wallpaper that more than exceeded my expectations. The measuring and cutting was done to the millimeter and the high-quality wallpaper was installed by professionals without any problems. My store now has that certain something. Thank you very much Ms. Wagner!"

"Our kitchen has become a fresh and bright space with the new wallpaper. Elke with her creativity has made the kitchen a cheerful meeting place with a positive atmosphere. The wallpaper also proves itself in everyday family life, because it is noble and robust, so we are not afraid of stains ... they simply do not stick. Elke advised us persistently and with a lot of energy and then enthusiastically until we finally had wallpapered. We are glad we had the courage!"

"Our joint project was shawer back panels made of AluDiBond with direct printing. The result was an excellent adapted graphic and a flawless print on the DiBond. Outstanding quality of the inks!"
Hartmut Jansen
General Manager of Atelier Jeanfils, Germany
"Our new branch should have a special Brunswick reference, as we are the oldest bakery in Brunswick. Elke's individual wallpaper design has given it a very personal flair that we can identify with. Elke is very innovative, reliable and also likes to lend a hand herself. To create a special room, you should very well get her ideas. I'm sure she can come up with something great."

"Elke worked on our project joyfully, professionally and determined to succeed. What I appreciate most about working with Elke is her kindness and positive attitude and her great team spirit. She helped our project through her immense knowledge of materials and the adaptation to our project needs. I would work with Elke again anytime and definitely recommend to work with."

"I have been working with Elke for several years. She solves complex interdisciplinary problems with a high level of commitment and in a great quality. I will be happy to work with her again on future projects."
Josef Schulze Sutthoff
Head of the Wolfsburg AG INNOVATIONSCAMPUS, Germany
"In 2014 I moved into my studio in the Citadel in Berlin. White bare walls surrounded my transparent light objects. Through a mutual painter friend I met Elke and her impressive ornamental works. For a joint exhibition Elke developed a wallpaper specially designed for my lights. Only now a room was created in which the crystalline light objects could now unfold their full effect! A great asset for the presentation of my artistic work!"
Monika di Donato

"About 8 years ago, our children were still small and, accordingly, the white painted wall adjacent to the table quickly soiled. So I was looking for a solution for the wall, which at the same time offered coziness, but also functionality. With the washable wall design in AluDibond, which Elke suggested to me, we succeeded in this in an extremely tasteful design, individually made according to my wishes. When I take a seat in my kitchen at the small dining area, I feel like I'm in a café house. The wall design looks almost like new despite heavy use. I look forward to it every time I come into the kitchen."

"On the search to design a room in which I like to stay and in which I also like to wake up every day I came across Elke Wagner's website "crossoverdesign.de" - and not by chance.... While researching unusual colour and shape play on walls, I was not only happy to have discovered such a variety of patterns, colours and shapes, but I am impressed and inspired that wallpaper is thought of differently - the website is a must for anyone looking for unusual and individual solutions in their rooms. Every day I look forward to looking at the wallpaper (or is it not rather a cosmos of colours and shapes?). My thoughts get lost in the deep blue, which after more than 10 years on the wall still appears before my eyes as colourful as on the first day, get caught in the ramifications, only to get stuck again in a new form created in my mind. An inspiration for the senses!"

"For me, individual digital print wallpapers are one of the most important innovations in the field of contemporary interior design. The possibility of precisely matching the material and design language to the respective room situation, but especially to the personality of our customers, allows us a great creative freedom that we usually cannot achieve with standard wallpapers. Through the coordinated cooperation with Elke Wagner, we are able to tell very personal stories on the walls. For over three decades, we have thus been working together at the interfaces between perfection in craftsmanship and space-defining art."

She’s very focused and hard working, super talented and has the eye for colours. Wishing her the best!"
