wallpaper ideas we love

September 14, 2018

I’m looking for wallpaper ideas for my bedroom and living room so I thought I’d share a few of my favourite finds with you. I started by looking in the From Britain with Love directory as I know there are some great independent wallpaper producers in there. Browse the Paint & Wall Coverings category here >>

Living in an old, low-ceilinged oak-beamed country cottage, a part of me wants to go full-on pretty. I struggle slightly with this idea as I do love clean, simple and pared back living too.

Cabbages & Roses

Cabbages and Roses have a charcoal grey black and natural version of their floral sprig design, Hatley that would look contemporary. I love how it looks contrasted with dark grey don’t you?

They also have this pretty pink sprig Catherine Rose Pink paper which I do like mixed with distressed vintage finds. I have quite a few of those, so maybe worth considering. I also live in a house with a husband and two sons, so I’m thinking they might find this a touch girly. All the more reason to go for it maybe…? I wouldn’t want it to look quite as cluttered as this, but with fresh white linens, it could be the right side of pretty maybe?

Four drops make up the complete picture wall, however it is possible to hang the two drops that make up “Lady in Red Dress” as a smaller piece or hang “Red Rose” or “Flamingo” as single drops. Consider adding real pictures.

Little Greene

Launching in January 2019, Little Greene’s London Wallpapers V is a new collection of heritage designs including these two beauties:

Above: Brodworth features birds and floral motifs that are slightly raised and incorporates rich gilding detail. Based on early 18th-century french textiles and furnishings and encompassing panels, scrolls and cross hatching, this wallpaper was found at Brodsworth Hall in South Yorkshire, an elegant, Victorian home and was used in the library and morning room.

Above: Carlton House Terrace is a flamboyant peacock feather design found in the attics of 18 Carlton House Terrace, a beautiful stucco-faced London town house overlooking The Mall. Originally machine-printed in green on a yellow background, the contemporary surface-printed technique use to recreate it accurately reflects the original, whilst a wonderful splash of colour in the feather provides something new and contemporary.

For the prettiest floral wallpapers, Peony & Sage are always worth a browse. These are a couple of my favourites to give you an idea: First: Delilah floral wallpaper:
