Norcombe Wallpaper by Little Greene: 50s Floral Style for Modern Living

Norcombe wallpaper from Little Greene’s 20th Century Papers collection combines the informal charm of a hand-drawn floral pattern with the soothing order of repetition. Adding a second print colour creates extra depth, making this design a subtle eye-catcher. Norcombe is both a tribute to the heritage of the 1950s and a refined choice for contemporary interiors.

The influence of the 50s on modern design

In the 1950s, floral motifs were often depicted in a light-hearted, graphic way. Tight frames and formal compositions made way for more playful, hand-drawn lines. Norcombe breathes this atmosphere with his loosely drawn floral patterns, which despite their freedom still retain a repetitive structure.

Depth through color: The second print layer

What sets Norcombe apart from classic floral wallpaper is the use of a second print colour. This extra layer adds dimension, making the pattern look richer and more vibrant. This technique ensures that the wallpaper moves elegantly with the light in the room, and radiates that little bit of extra character.

An accessible botanical style

Norcombe has an airy, relaxed feel, making it suitable for a variety of spaces in the home – from bedrooms and living rooms to cosy home offices. The pattern adds visual interest without being too busy, making it ideal for larger surfaces.

Little Greene's Norcombe wallpaper is perfect for those who love subtle prints with depth and a nod to the 50s.
