Little Greene – In the Garden Wallpapers

‘In the Garden’ is the sixth instalment of authentic wallpaper designs in collaboration

with the National Trust.

Comprising eight designs, each pattern has been inspired by English gardens.


Lily Pads


Within the Stackpole Estate in the south-west corner of Wales, nature thrives in over five

square miles of protected coastline, farmland, forestry and lakes.


Besides sightings of bats in the woodland and dolphins in the sea, one of the visitor

highlights are the wild otters which can sometimes be spotted amongst the lily pads within

the estate’s 100 acres of lakes.


Dragonflies, kingfishers, butterflies and tiny water boatmen are also depicted in this

expansive celebration of native British flora and fauna.


Available in 4 colourways.


Castle Garden


In 1930, the dilapidated Sissinghurst castle and gardens in Sussex, was bought by the

20th-century poet and writer Vita Sackville- West and her husband.

Despite having no formal training in garden design, Vita dedicated the next 30 years

to transforming the gardens. Creating unconventional planting schemes, she was motivated

by the way the colours and scents of the flowers in bloom impacted on the experience of

exploring the grounds.


Having hosted an alumni of mid-century, high-society guests, Sissinghurst is now one of the

most-visited and best-loved gardens in England, and this wallpaper has been designed and

coloured to pay tribute to its eclectic vibrancy.


Available in 3 colourways.


Magnolia Blossom


Known for their fragrant flowers, distinctive seedpods and transformational annual blossom,

Magnolias are in fact among the oldest tree species in the world.


This wallpaper depicts four cherished specimens in the care of the National Trust at

Nymans in Sussex, Bodnant in North Wales, and the estates of Lanhydrock and

Trengwainton in Cornwall.


Their soft petals – in bloom and as fallen blossom – are a sight to behold every Spring.


Available in 5 colourways.


May’s Tulip


May Morris, the daughter of celebrated design icon William Morris, inherited not only her

father’s business and some of his status, but was a highly skilled protagonist of the

Arts & Crafts movement herself.


Born in 1862 in Red House in south London, May became best known for her work in

embroidery and jewellery. In 1907 she jointly founded the Women’s Guild of Arts which

championed professional female artists and creatives, at a time when industry only

officially recognised male endeavour.


This design is inspired by a beautiful set of late-19th-century weaves of trailing tulips,

lovingly set into panels as a room divider.


Available in 6 colourways.


Moon Daisies


The unrivalled simplicity of the daisy flower has inspired surface design for centuries

from decorative embroidery to ceramics, and fashion items to wallpaper. Taking its title

from an informal name for the ox-eye daisy, which is known for reflecting moonlight alongside

country roads and paths at night, this design features bright yellow flocked centres on daisies

with interlocking stems; a much simpler interpretation than the late-19th-century wallpapers,

found at Oxburgh Hall, that inspired it.


Available in 6 colourways.


Mr Straw’s Greenhouse


In the 1930s, brothers William and Walter Straw inherited their parents’ home in

Worksop, Nottinghamshire and the family grocery business which had served the

community for over fifty years. They shared an active interest in walking, collecting

archaeological and contemporary artefacts, and a humble collection of succulents

and cacti.


In 1993, the house and around 30,000 objects of the era were given to the National Trust

and have been preserved as a fascinating insight into mid-century life in England.

The greenhouse at the end of their garden is still home to an ongoing array of specimens

which have inspired this light-hearted wallpaper design.


Available in 6 colourways.


Rhododendron Walk


Clumped bursts of ancient colour, in the form of rhododendrons and azaleas,

have famously accompany woodland and lakeside walks in the grounds of National

Trust properties as far reaching as Cragside in Northumberland, Castle Drogo

in Devon, Rowallane in Northern Ireland and Sheringham Park in Norfolk.


In a synthesis of historic content and a time-served manufacturing technique, this

paper features an abundance of colourful blooms, bursting towards the light whilst

friendly bees land on their petals. Rendered in nine surface-printed colours in elegant

combinations, this dramatic design aligns with contemporary interior spaces.


Available in 4 colourways.


Rose Garden


This design is inspired by the sensational walled rose garden at Mottisfont Abbey

in Hampshire. Besides being a grand house, built around a medieval priory and steeped

in generations of architectural evolution, Mottisfont is also home to the National Plant

Collection of Rosa; pre-1900 shrub roses.


The roses tended here are exclusively historic species, characteristically fuller in shape

and – unlike a contemporary variety – they flower only once annually. This

concentration of blooming colour and fragrance makes for a sensorially spectacular

visitor experience for a few weeks in early summer every year.


Available in 5 colourways.

Colour proportions

The colour palette includes near primary red, yellow and green, as well as hot pink for

strong accents joined by gentle pink and blue pastel shades.


At the core of Choreography is a melody of organic shapes, curves, and a rhythmic flow

that emphasises sensory comfort. Featuring warm, muted tones, like soft lilacs and

greens, alongside deeper shades, the palette offers a calming and cocooning effect,

that evolves to the individual.


CO influences the creation of harmonious spaces, bringing a balance that can

foster both productivity and relaxation. A mix of calming green and grey tones serve

as a foundation for Co, while vibrant pops of yellow and red inject energy and joy.

The colour palette is intentionally saturated to maintain maturity and avoid

overwhelming brightness, achieving a modern, neutral base that

supports community and connection.


Dynamic and high-energy, Disrupt provokes interaction and sparks emotion, offering

a bold contrast to quieter, more personal spaces. The synthetic, digital-inspired

palette features clashing colours including electric blues and vibrant orange

and yellow accents, combined with grounding grey tones.


A futuristic, personalised design experience, where technology enables endless possibilities

for individual expression is at the heart of Faraway. The palette features iridescent hues,

with digital blues and purples balanced alongside warm greens to prevent coldness

and reflect light in ways that allow each space to transform.


G-local emphasises the fusion of local craftsmanship with global perspectives,

celebrating the intersection of traditional materials and new technologies.

A neutral base palette is accented with subtle injections of synthetic green and

orange tones, reflecting the harmonious marriage of nature and innovation.
