Our homes are our sanctuarie­s, never more so than over the past year. And nothing is more comforting than curling up with a good book and a warm cuppa, cocooned from the chill of a cold January day. A beautiful hand-designed wallpaper can be a game changer when it comes to creating the ideal cosy corner to your home, used either as a bold statement to line the walls of an entire room or as a striking accent to a feature wall.

INSPIRED DESIGN

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

CUTTING- EDGE CRAFTSMANS­HIP

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, too. 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.
