PATTERN WITH PERSONALIT­Y

COSY UP YOUR HOME WITH A ROLL OR TWO OF HAND- DESIGNED WALLPAPER – AND 10% OFF UNTIL THE END OF FEBRUARY

-

On a chill January day, settling down to a little light reading in a room that truly warms the heart can be all the comfort we need. If you’re embracing the cocooning effect of pattern, a beautiful hand-designed wallpaper can be a game changer, used either as a bold statement to line the walls of an entire room or as a striking accent for a single feature wall.

BRING THE OUTDOORS IN

Fiona Howard has been designing textiles and wallpapers for more than 30 years. She’s known for her classic designs, reminiscen­t of those of enduring English designers such as William Morris and the Bloomsbury Group. Based on sketches of the English coast and countrysid­e, flora and woodland, her unique collection of wallpapers is designed to make us feel good about the spaces we live in.

ALL IN THE DETAIL

Fiona designs all her wallpaper patterns by hand, using a blockprint technique, first drawing the repeating patterns, then using the traditiona­l method of lino cutting and hand printing to create intricate original designs. It’s a process involving expert craftsmans­hip and impressive attention to detail.

We’re happy to report that protecting the environmen­t is an essential part of the process at Fiona Howard. All of her wallpapers are printed on FSCcertifi­ed papers in environmen­tally friendly inks. Plus, for each roll of wallpaper you buy, a tree is planted in collaborat­ion with One Tree Planted.
