Farrow & Ball
launches three
New Wallpapers in
celebration of the
Dorset Countryside

C

raftsmen in paint and paper Farrow & Ball has taken inspiration from the charming
Dorset countryside for its latest wallpaper collection. The three new designs
are evocative of rural scenes with hazy grasses, endless hedgerows and pretty
blossoms all represented.
Inspired by Farrow & Ball’s Dorset roots, and time spent in the nearby Isle of
Purbeck, the collection embraces the beauty of nature. People lead increasingly
busy lives and these designs will create a soft, peaceful look in the home.
For the first time Farrow & Ball has included a large scale border, Feather Grass, in the new
collection. Conjuring images of lazy days in country meadows, the feather grass pattern is 1m 40cm
high and its gentle outlines will create a calming look in any room.
Hornbeam celebrates the hedgerows characteristic of the British countryside. Made popular
by English gardener Tom Stuart-Smith, hornbeams are often cloud pruned into the shapes seen
in this design.
Named after the old English for blossom, Blostma is inspired by the serendipitous moment
when petals are caught and carried away by the breeze. Full of movement, this small-scale design
captures the beauty of a soft shower of petals.
Made in the same way as all Farrow & Ball artisanal wallpapers, the new designs are traditionally
block printed using real Farrow & Ball paints, creating papers with exceptional beauty and a uniquely
textured appearance. Each design is available in 7 colourways ranging from muted pastels to bolder
tones with metallic accents.
