Soane’s wallpaper designs complement the fabrics collection, drawing inspiration from Lulu Lytle’s collected antique textiles, particularly the rich motifs and colours found in Eastern Mediterranean and North African fabrics. Rich botanicals or simpler patterns are expertly printed onto heavy weight papers to match or co-ordinate with fabrics, in colours within the harmonious Soane palette.
All of Soane’s wallpapers are made in British workshops, employing highly skilled methods, from screen printing to flatbed, surface and surflex printing. Whether working with rollers or by hand, each specialised technique has its own benefits, with the selection being dictated by the visual requirements of each pattern. This ensures that the atmosphere and depth of the most beautiful antique wallpapers is replicated in our new designs.
