6. PERENNIAL STYLE

Take the rolling meadows, clipped garden rows and dense woodlands of the English landscape as your design inspiration and it’s easy to slip into twee territory. Not with Cole & Son. Its Botanical Botanica collection stamps flora and fauna across 15 handcrafted wallpapers, each in colourways that reflect the seasons. While head of design Carley Bean describes it as an ‘ode to nature, depicting its innate beauty and the magical allure of its transformation through the year’, it’s a rock ’n’ roll take on wisteria, sweet pea, fern and maidenhair to us. Highlights include Topiary, a watercoloured geometric featuring ornate parterres, and the Art Nouveau-style Bluebell, below.

7. HIGH DRAMA

Livingetc’s verdict on the third instalment of Cole & Son’s collaboration with Fornasetti? Every bit as must-redecorate-the-downstairs-cloakroom-immediatelyas the first two.

Take your pick of classic papers reimagined in new palettes, including the flora and fauna of Frutto Proibito, revamped in Deep Ink and Magenta, and Teatro – Piero Fornasetti’s ode to Italian commedia dell’arte theatre – recoloured in soft BalletSlipper pink or Racing Car Green. Worth a standing ovation? For sure.

8. DEAR DIARY

Nordic-cool gets a nod on Morris & Co’s latest collection.Based on William Morris’ journal entries from his 1871 Icelandic expedition, Pure North includes embroideries, fabrics, and archive wallpaper designs, all recoloured to reflect the neutral hues of Nordic landscapes.

Scandinavian scenery from the comfort of your sofa – what’s not to like?

9. BLUE MOOD

The 19th-century explorer Isabella Bird was the muse for the autumn/winter 2018 collection from Designers Guild, so expect fabricsand wallpapers with a distinctly exotic feel inspired by the writings and photographs from her travels to China, Japan, Persia and beyond.

We’re talking hand-painted botanicals, inky watercolours and intricate fretwork stamps. But that’s not to say it’s OTT – small scale-hexagons and a palette of shimmery cobalts are a go-to for easy-to-use updates.
