Wallpaper book club – Albany Wonderland
Above: Elysium
This room’s styling harmonises with the wallpaper’s playful fantasy narrative, evoking the layered beauty of a curiosity-filled country house. The vintage wooden sideboard, with its rich patina, brings a sense of timeworn opulence while the table-top mirror and delicate trinkets nod to the tradition of collected keepsakes. The Elysium wallpaper creates a captivating backdrop, with a subtle lustre finish lending a gentle shimmer that catches the light, adding depth to the tapestry of hidden treasures in the design.
Above: Ponderosa
Perfect for a hallway or entrance, Ponderosa sets the tone for an uplifting welcome. The wallpaper’s fresh citrus hues introduce a sun-drenched warmth, and would help to make even the darkest of spaces feel airy and lighter. Set against a soft, warm-toned backdrop, Ponderosa is an inviting wallpaper that captures the essence of an idyllic Mediterranean orchard where lush trailing lemon branches, intertwined with glossy green leaves and delicate berries, create a sense of natural abundance.
Above: Fleurmont
Fleurmont is a bold reimagining of classic Arts and Crafts design, featuring a traditional floral damask with a strikingly symmetrical arrangement of lilies, tulips, and wildflowers intertwined with scrolling foliage. Its intricate detailing and soft but confident palette of blush pinks, golden ochres, and sage greens bring a sense of vintage romance, while the classic flow of the pattern adds a sense of opulence. To style Fleurmont in a contemporary setting, you could layer it with natural materials such as linen upholstery, raw wood, and matte ceramics, letting its heritage charm shine in a fresh and understated way.
Above: Pendula
Steeped in romantic grandeur, this show-stopping staircase is beautifully enhanced by the lush artistry of Pendula, a large-scale, fantastical flowering tree design that transforms the space. Against a soft aqua backdrop, magnolia and cherry blossoms intertwined with the rich bounty of plums and pears, inspired by the charm of an 18th-century botanical illustration, the intricate wrought-iron balustrade and classical marble flooring lend a refined contrast, enhanced by the wallpaper’s dramatic design.
Above: Lysandra
Lysandra is a captivating design that brings a warmth and vibrancy, brimming with all the charm of a wildflower meadow. The densely detailed floral design has a delightful Scandinavian vibe and the rich mulberry backdrop has an intimate and cocooning atmosphere, making it perfect for a dining space. We think it really sets the stage for convivial gatherings, creating a space that feels both inviting and elegant.
Above: Camberley
A fresh take on traditional elegance, the Camberley design brings together the structure of classic stripes with the organic charm of botanical motifs. It pairs a softly rendered stripe with a meandering floral trail, creating a balance between formality and feminine romance.
Above: Pinecrest
Inspired by the intricate craftwork of Victorian tapestries, Pinecrest is a painterly design that brings the magic of a storybook forest. This enchanting design captures a woodland scene brimming with life, graceful deer wander under towering trees, rabbits dart playfully through the underbrush, and ducks glide serenely across a meandering stream. For a truly immersive experience, embrace Pinecrest on all four walls and extend it onto the ceiling to create a dreamy, cocooning forest effect.
Above: Tales of the Manor
Long associated with 1950s housewives and their perfectly arranged parlours, decorative wall plates are making a comeback. This resurging wall décor trend takes things to the next level, blending the nostalgia of vintage homes with the curated chaos of gallery walls. A fusion of cluttercore and granny chic, it’s an aesthetic that is both happily eccentric and stylish. Tales of the Manor reimagines this nostalgic styling in a fresh and playful way, depicting a gallery of ornate plates where whimsical, vintage-inspired animals overflow their decorative cameos. This wallpaper is perfect for spaces that embrace storytelling and charm.
Above: Blenheim
A bathroom should be a retreat, a place of relaxation and rejuvenation, and Blenheim effortlessly sets the tone in this one. The delicate, nature-inspired scenes have a sense of escapism, transforming the space into a private sanctuary, like a walled garden hidden away from the world. The classic toile pattern has an airy, open feel and would work to make compact bathrooms appear more spacious and inviting. This toile design brings the beauty of a vintage landscape into the space, where thickets of trees frame ornate Victorian glasshouses and decorative fountains, creating a tranquil garden oasis. With its finely detailed illustrations and soft, harmonious palette, this design brings a sense of calm and refinement.
Above: Thistledown mural
Come into an enchanted woodland with the Thistledown mural, a breathtaking scene that captures the quiet magic of nature. The gorgeous painterly design features a flower-filled arbor, where a majestic stag and graceful deer pause to drink from a serene woodland pool. Sun-dappled leaves and delicate wildflowers frame the scene, leading the eye toward a distant forest horizon, all creating a sense of depth and tranquility.
Designed for effortless ease of installation, it is supplied in three 70cm-wide lengths and the seamless design allows for side-to-side repetition, allowing for a stunning panoramic effect across any wall. Whether used as a statement feature or to envelop a space, this mural transforms interiors with its dreamlike charm.
