Inspiration for your bathroom

The surviving example of this 19th century wallpaper was not found on the walls of a chic terraced house in Richmond, but in a container outside during a renovation in 1989, which is not at all consistent with the quality of this wallpaper. The execution of this delicate Tudor rose is typical of many designs made in the late 19th century in the style of William Morris. Little Greene printed it in two authentic color combinations of the Arts and Crafts movement, three classic color combinations and one modern one with metallic tones.

The colors match:

Livid is a deep, moody yet calming shade that lies somewhere between blue, green and gray.

Vine (ca. 1932) comes from the archives of the Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester and is unmistakably reminiscent of William Morris, the father of the Arts and Crafts movement at the end of the 19th century. An authentic planographic printing technique was used to create this contemporary version, whose blue color combination is very close to the original - despite the poor condition of the background color on the surviving fragment.

The colors fit:

Purple Brown 8

Rolling Fog - Dark 160

Portland Stone - Dark 157

In 738, the architect William Kent - known for his inventiveness - designed a small wooden garden house built on stilts in the middle of a pond in the Elysian Fields at Stowe in Buckinghamshire. It was designed by the Italian painter Francesco Sleter, who combined figures, foliage and calligraphy into a complex Chinoiserie style, with this magnificent deep stone color as the background. Color research has shown that this precious structure was painted over at least twice: in the 19th century and again in 1937. After being exhibited for some time in the neighboring Wotton estate and in Ireland, the Chinese House was returned to the Stowe estate and was completely and faithfully restored around 1996 to become.

This 19th-century monochrome print of a forest with deer on English linen is much less formal than the typical Toile de Jouy designs that emerged in France in the late 18th century.

A suitable color would be:

Hicks Blue 208

A classic damask design with the large pomegranate motifs that were very typical and popular in the mid-18th century. This wallpaper was probably originally a non-woven wallpaper and decorated an English manor house. Non-woven wallpapers were an English specialty and, although they were actually just imitations of expensive textiles, they were expensive to produce and were therefore a striking expression of luxury and social status.

A suitable color would be:

Wood Ash 229
