Spread over three panels, this contemporary interpretation features a lush panorama of monkeys and tropical birds. Available in four color variations, this wallpaper brings dynamism and an exciting eye-catcher to any interior.

Spring Flowers reading corner

Standen House in West Sussex is one of the finest examples of an Arts & Crafts house in England, designed by Philip Webb with interiors by William Morris. Featuring a variety of spring blooms, this design shows how designers of the time were inspired by flowers and leaves and how they stylized these shapes to bring nature inside. The surviving original of this wallpaper is in a monochrome color variant of blue and white, but little else is known about the history of this particular design. Now available in six different colors, with two soft neutrals and four bolder backgrounds.

Mosaic Trail Living Room

An elegant floral path with sophisticated color variation - little is known about the history of this wallpaper, but it probably dates back to late 19th century aestheticism. The pattern mimics a tiled mosaic and creates a charming, loose finish with subtle shading effects. The design has been reproduced from the original in four elegant, graduated color variations using a surface printing process to recreate the mosaic effect and enhance the texture and tonality of the colors.

Living room Briar Rose

This wallpaper was originally designed by children's book illustrator Walter Crane and is classified as an Arts and Crafts style due to its densely stylized natural motifs. Many of Walter Crane's drawings became nursery wallpapers, and "Briar Rose" was originally introduced as a background for a wallpaper called "The Sleeping Beauty," which featured characters from the fairy tale Sleeping Beauty among the roses. It was found in Oxburgh Hall, but little is known about where in the house it was used as most originals now exist only as loose samples. The wallpaper was originally produced by the London company Jeffrey & Co. and has now been reproduced in three soft color combinations and three bright color combinations.

Upper Brook St. Living Room

This design features Kniphofia flowers, also known as torch lilies and rocket flowers. In the books they were listed as hand-painted and said to have been installed as a custom-made decoration over an already wallpapered wall in a late 18th-century house on Upper Brook Street. Little Greene used a motif from his Stag Toile wallpaper as a natural backdrop to the torch lilies.

A suitable color for this is:

Gustav living space

Gustav (circa 1875) was found in poor condition, making dating quite difficult, but English Heritage archivists estimate it was made in the mid-18th century. It was found in Eagle House, a Jacobean mansion in Wimbledon. It bears the hallmarks of a classic block print, but in fact some of the flowers on the original were hand-painted onto the pre-printed vines that form part of a decorative border. The size of the pattern is reminiscent of large damask designs, but the muted colors chosen for the Archive Trails adaptation mean this wallpaper can be used anywhere without overpowering a room.

Hampstead Housing

This relaxed interpretation of a city scene from Hampstead comes from the hand-printed “Apsley Collection” by John Line & Sons and is attributed to the designer Els Calvetti. The overall line structure was retained and the original gray and blue color combination was carefully adapted to the 21st century interior decor.

Beech Nut - Córdoba living space

Originally used in a colorful flocked floral border, the leaf and nut element was block printed in a more muted gray colorway. While significantly more colorful, the six contemporary interpretations all utilize a similarly balanced color palette and the distinctive, artisanal texture of a surface-printed paper.

The appropriate colors would be:

Bonaparte living space

This wallpaper, a reworking of an authentic 19th century French damask, was recently found as a painted work of art in a studio apartment in Paris. It is a common misconception that the colors used in historical decorations were exclusively somber. The rich tones, layers and gradations reproduced here match exactly with the original wallpapers and yet create a very modern atmosphere.

Asterid living space

Unlike most Little Greene wallpaper source materials, this design is not a tracing of a conventional pattern, but a reinterpretation of a mid-20th century painting. It represents upper society's preference for hand-painted murals, which were the forerunner of commercial wallpaper. The fine details of the original painting combined with this 3-panel panel design depict a floral tendril pattern that shows the sensitivity of a fine artist. Available in four color combinations.

A suitable color would be:

Flint 236

Palace Road Living Room

The source of this design was a typical historical damask, a 19th century woven silk fabric, the effect of which was replicated with the print. As with the High Street design from London Wallpapers III, this pattern is found in more than one location, suggesting that it must have been produced in significant quantities from as early as the 18th century to the late 19th century. This also corresponds to the industrial production possibilities at that time.

The appropriate colors would be:

Slaked Lime - Mid 149

Slaked Lime 105

Slaked Lime - Deep 150

Massingberd Blossom – Verditer living space

This pattern was seen – in a time of pre-modern artistic sensibility – as close to nature, simple and harmonious. The trailing bloom and repeating birds are elements commonly found in early hand-painted Chinoiserie. The use of traditional surface printing gives the wallpaper structure, which subtly offers more to the discerning eye than conventional mass-produced paper.

A suitable color would be:

Shirting 129

Loriini living space

A surface printed design featuring exotic lorikeets and an oriental flower. It was inspired by a striking 20th century work of art on display at the Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester. The exotic theme and almost symmetrical repetition are typical of designs from the 1930s. They reflect longings for travel to distant lands and were a sign of wealth for visitors to the house.

Although redesigned to suit today's interiors, the color schemes chosen are a testament to the use of bright colors commonly used in the 1930s. For this reason the lory may have been chosen as the subject. The wallpaper is available in five color combinations.

Living Room - Dahlia Scroll

A floral tendril design reminiscent of Voysey's early work. This two-tone wallpaper features an enlarged dahlia, a motif often found in Japanese designs, while the plant's curved shapes emanating from a single flower are also characteristic of Art Nouveau. Available in seven different colorways, including elegant neutrals, rich blues and bright yellows, this pattern was probably originally block-printed by Jeffrey & Co.
