I've actually created by hand a similar effect layering different kinds of papers resulting in the appearance of years and years of residents having lived in my (new) place. Now I can give it a name-- rough luxe! Some of the bigger hotels have gone this direction - contemporary but with some history (even if it's faux) behind it. See the Grammercy Park in New York for a grand example. Absolutely love it!

I think it looks great but it's nothing new stylistically, houses that look like this have appeared for years in The World of Interiors. This is an interiors shoot that you can stay in for a price (there's nothing rough about the rates). Despite all the blah about being anti luxury this is really another boutique hotel with a twist. Perfect for the decorati but not for those who expect more for their depleted pounds and pence... Hmm… my house in Leytonstone looked like this for a year before I got round to fixing it up.
