Herbes wallpaper by Little Greene: Subtle floral splendor inspired by the 50s

The Herbes wallpaper from Little Greene's 20th Century Papers collection is a beautiful example of how a classic mid-century design is revived with a modern, sophisticated feel. Based on a pattern from the 1955 book "Contemporary Designs", Herbes has been reworked into a calming and stylish wallpaper with a timeless character.

The Origin of Herbes: Exuberant past, subdued future

The original Herbes design was a very busy wallpaper, typical of the expressive style of the 50s. In the contemporary version, Little Greene has deliberately omitted a large part of the background. This gives the graceful floral motifs plenty of space to speak, and creates a much calmer whole that suits modern interior styles.

Colors with character, including black and white

The colour schemes are based on original archive documentation from the 1950s, keeping the wallpaper true to its heritage. At the same time, a stylish black and white interpretation has been added. This neutral variant is popular in contemporary interiors for its minimalist, graphic look.

The soft colours of the Herbes wallpaper – such as grey-green, powder pink, warm beige and black and white – combine effortlessly with natural materials such as wood, linen and ceramics.

Whether you opt for a modern, Scandinavian or vintage interior, Herbes adds a calm, botanical touch without dominating.
