V&A Decorative Papers wallpaper collection 1838 wallcoverings

V&A Decorative Papers – a tribute to design history from 1838 Wallcoverings

The V&A Decorative Papers collection by 1838 Wallcoverings is a refined and artistic wallpaper range that brings classic beauty and heritage back to life. In collaboration with the world-famous Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) in London, 1838 Wallcoverings has created a series of unique designs inspired by historic textiles and artworks from the museum’s extensive collection.

This wallcovering combines timeless elegance, rich ornaments and heritage patterns with modern production techniques and luxurious finishes. The result is a wallpaper collection that breathes history and at the same time fits perfectly with contemporary interiors.

A mix of heritage and contemporary design

The designs in V&A Decorative Papers are based on original patterns, fabrics and prints from the Victoria and Albert Museum archive. Think floral motifs from the Arts & Crafts movement, classic damask structures and fine decorative elements from the 18th and 19th centuries. These historic designs have been carefully reworked to create luxurious wallcoverings with depth, texture and a rich use of colour.

The collection plays perfectly into the trend in which classic patterns and heritage designs are being revalued – not just as decoration, but as a statement of style and character.
