Above: Wisteria Garden
In this styled kitchen, Wisteria graces the main wall with its signature vertical movement and airy floral trails, making it a natural focal point. It draws the eye upward and adds a feeling of height and space, a perfect choice for enhancing narrow alcoves, feature walls, or even full-room coverage where depth and texture are desired. But the real magic lies in the coordinating use of Sweet Alyssum inside the cabinet, a thoughtful design detail that introduces a secondary layer of pattern. The micro floral print acts as a soft contrast to the cooler, cascading tones of Wisteria, subtly enriching the blue palette and reinforcing a cohesive, nature-inspired theme.
Above: Pussy Willow
This wallpaper encapsulates everything we love about classic Laura Ashley design: it’s soft yet structured, pretty but not too sweet, and grounded in the natural beauty of the British countryside. If you are seeking to bring light, calm, floral charm into your home, this wallpaper is a perfect choice.
Above: Belvedere
In this sitting room, the richness of the deep navy backdrop provides a dramatic foundation, while the intricate pattern of regal peacocks and delicate blossoms adds classical visual interest. The colour palette is perfectly judged, the royal blue sets a confident, elegant tone, while the muted greens, soft golds, and gentle ivories within the pattern harmonise with the neutral tones of the upholstery and soft furnishings. This creates a refined, inviting atmosphere, ideal for both relaxed family moments and formal entertaining.
Above: Gosford
A hallway sets the tone for the rest of the home and Gosford brings a sense of gracious living into even the most functional of spaces. The pink hues soften hard edges and adds light through its white base, whilst the pattern introduces a romantic British heritage feel that’s both welcoming and quietly iconic. We love that wall panelling has been cleverly used below the wallpaper, which is a practical and stylish solution that not only protects against everyday scuffs from traffic and furniture but also frames the wallpaper beautifully, giving the space structure and balance.
Above: Forsythia
Forsythia is particularly effective in spaces where soft colour layering is key. In this setting, the warm blue upholstery of the sofa is perfectly complemented by the tonal harmony of the wallpaper. The pale chalk background keeps the room light and airy, while the gentle blue floral motif draws the eye, creating visual interest without competing for attention.
Above: Parterre
The success of Parterre in this room lies in its ability to soften angular architecture and inject life and movement through its leafy vertical flow. The design offers visual depth, subtly echoing the lush view beyond the window to create an immersive, inside-outside feel. Wallpaper in wet spaces can be both practical and beautifully atmospheric when used thoughtfully. Notice here how the area behind the sink is tiled below the wallpaper and the free-standing bath sits away from the wall behind.
Above: Magnolia Grove
In this serene bedroom, the pink Magnolia Grove wallpaper brings a sense of romance and tranquillity. The dusky pink backdrop serves as a soft canvas, setting a calm tone for the room, while the elegant magnolia blossoms introduce natural beauty with their crisp ivory petals and delicate grey-green branches. The muted pink delivers warmth, pairing effortlessly with the neutral tones of the upholstered bed and pale wooden flooring. It’s a hue that soothes by day and deepens in cosiness by evening light, making it particularly suited to restful spaces.
Above: Sweet Alyssum
Inspired by the intricate beauty of meadow florals, this wallpaper blends traditional English charm with a contemporary palette that feels both fresh and grounded. Here, Sweet Alyssum wraps the room in a soft, golden hue, a perfectly balanced ochre that radiates warmth and positivity. This is a wallpaper that invites comfort, making it an ideal choice for restful spaces such as bedrooms, guest rooms, or cottage-style interiors.
