Dahlia Scroll (c. 1890 – 1900)

Featuring two tonal variations, this surface printed wallpaper is available in 7 colour ways, from soft neutrals through to dramatic shades of yellow, blue and green.
Hoja (c. Late 1890s – 1900)
This traditional style scrolling wallpaper was taken from the decor of the attic stores in Oxburgh Hall. Despite showcasing elements from 17th century Spanish embossed and gilded leather, the Hoja wallpaper design is in fact believed to have originated between 1890-1900.
Reproduced in 6 colour ways (4 tonal variations of a single colour and 2 colour combinations), Little Greene have employed a traditional surface printing technique for a beautiful, painterly look and feel.

Little Greene Colour Drenching
Various designs in the National Trust Papers III collection also reflect the on trend concept of colour drenching. This focuses on the idea of colouring multiple elements of decor in the same colour or closely related shades for maximum impact. Whether you choose a bold colour or something more simple and understated, this trend allows you to create a fully cohesive look that flows throughout the room. The 3 designs above (Poppy Trail – Masquerade, Dahlia Scroll – Giallo and Hoja – Air Force Blue) are beautiful examples to help create this look.
