Zoffany wallpaper

Zoffany wallpaper was born in 1983, when the British brand was founded; shortly after, it debuted with a collection reproducing historic wall hangings from Temple Newsam, a Tudor-Jacobean country house in Leeds, Yorkshire. From that restoration commission, Zoffany grew into a name synonymous with British craftsmanship and refined wall decoration, with an archive that draws on centuries-old designs and translates them for the walls of today.

The story behind Zoffany wallpaper

The roots of Zoffany wallpaper lie in the careful reproduction of historic patterns. It began at Temple Newsam, where the brand restored fragments of antique wall hangings into complete designs. A striking example is the Diamonds & Flowers pattern, discovered as a fragment and dating from around 1750 to 1770. Today Zoffany makes not only wallpaper but also fabrics, paint, trimmings and more, each time with the same attention to the interplay between past and present.

Materials and character of Zoffany wallpaper

What defines Zoffany wallpaper is its layering of texture and colour. The designs range from intricate botanical motifs and delicate floral tracery to graphic and classical ornaments, always with an eye for colour balance. Part of the collections is traditionally printed in England using rotary screen printing, a technique that lends the surface a woodblock-like depth and texture. Many of these luxury wallpapers have the natural feel of structure and matte paper; the exact composition varies by collection, and when in doubt we recommend ordering a sample to assess the material and finish in your own light.

Signature Zoffany wallpaper collections

The Zoffany wallpaper range spans both classic and contemporary taste. A selection from the current collections:

• Endpapers — inspired by the decorative endpapers of antique books, with subtle small-scale motifs such as floral tracery and fine line patterns.
• Indienne — botanical prints with a combined Eastern-European heritage.
• Arcadian Thames — pastoral English scenes in soft, warm tones.
• Cotswold Manor — rustic elegance drawn from the landscape of the Cotswolds.
• Kensington Walk — urban refinement with classic London influences.

Zoffany wallpaper in your interior: where does it fit?

Zoffany wallpaper shows at its best in spaces where you want to set a distinctive mood. In living and dining rooms a rich design instantly adds character, while a bedroom with Zoffany wallpaper gains in depth and warmth. Botanical and floral patterns make a powerful statement on a single accent wall behind the bed or dining table; the more graphic designs take a hallway or stairwell to a higher level.

Hanging and caring for Zoffany wallpaper

Know which design you want? Then use the wallpaper calculator to determine the number of rolls you need, so that you account for the pattern repeat.
