House of Hackney wallpaper

House of Hackney wallpaper was born in 2011 in London around the kitchen table of the couple Frieda Gormley and Javvy M Royle, who wanted to bring the beauty of nature indoors. What began as a personal search for a wall covering that did not yet exist grew into one of the most recognisable British interior brands: bold, botanical and unmistakably idiosyncratic.

How House of Hackney wallpaper connects British heritage with modern daring

The brand's inspiration can always be traced back to three sources: nature, Victorian ornamentation and the work of William Morris. That combination is what makes House of Hackney wallpaper so recognisable. Botanical designs, gothic flora, exotic prints and heritage motifs show how far the brand dares to go with colour and scale. The rich pigmentation also responds beautifully to warm artificial light: playful by day, dramatically deep by night. And although the patterns are lavish, they never feel busy. A single panel as an accent wall in an otherwise calm space works surprisingly well.

Materials and look of House of Hackney wallpaper

House of Hackney wallpaper is printed in Sweden at the sustainable printer Borås Tapetfabrik, on FSC-certified paper with water-based inks and largely made to order to reduce waste. The brand is B Corp-certified and places sustainability at the heart of every decision. For you as a resident, that means a thoughtful wall covering that radiates natural textures and a sense of craftsmanship, with deep colours that last for years. Each roll has a width of 45 cm and is available in drop lengths of 2 and 3 metres, so that even large-scale prints align perfectly on the wall.

Signature collections of House of Hackney wallpaper

The catalogue ranges from lavish garden prints to expressive, almost theatrical compositions. A selection of the current designs:

• Voyseys Garden Magna wallpaper — a large-scale botanical pattern full of lavish garden references

Where does House of Hackney wallpaper work best?

The collections come into their own most strongly as an accent wall, in the hallway, the bedroom or as a statement in the living room. A botanical design gives a bedroom warmth and depth, while a large pattern in a hallway instantly adds character. Want to carry the story of the wall through the rest of your interior? Combine the wallpaper with matching House of Hackney fabrics for curtains or cushions. This creates a coherent, lavish atmosphere in which everything plays off one another.

Hanging and care

The large-scale prints of House of Hackney wallpaper call for precise work when aligning the pattern. For a flawless end result, we recommend working together with one of our professional wallpaper hangers, especially with the Magna designs that have a large repeat. Keep the wall dry and dust-free; clean at most carefully with a slightly damp cloth and avoid abrasive products, so that the fine colours and textures are preserved.
