Floral Wallpaper

Two hundred and fifty floral wallpapers, which is most of what we print. Old-master bouquets on black, dusty poppies in sage linework, white dogwood on soft green, dried zinnias banked against weathered planks, songbirds among mallow on parchment. Every weight of flower, on every colour of ground.

Choosing floral wallpaper

Where it works

With this many designs the question is not whether a floral suits the room but which weight of floral. Bedrooms and landings take the open, light-ground designs best: Dogwood Branch, white blossom on soft sage, or Creamy Dogwood on dusty slate blue. Dining rooms and studies can carry the dark bouquets, Midnight Bouquet and Ink Peony, where black fills the gaps between the blooms. Kitchens and hallways sit between, and that is where the cream-ground designs like Sage Poppy and Woodland Songbird earn their place.

Picking between the designs

Three things separate one floral from another here. The ground: black or burgundy under Peony Bouquet, Burgundy Sunflower and Rust Chrysanthemum; cream or parchment under Sage Poppy and Woodland Songbird; a mottled plaster teal under Teal Daisy. The drawing: woodcut line in Engraved Peony, painted old-master shading in Midnight Bouquet, faded ink and watercolour in Woodland Songbird. And the arrangement: mirrored pairs in Pink Tulip, a tossed scatter in Burgundy Sunflower, or the banked-up dried flowers of Pressed Blooms against weathered grey planks, the one floral here that reads as a still life rather than a garden. Pick the ground for the room, then the drawing for the furniture.
