Rodney Street Wallpaper by Little Greene: From Mechanical Toys to Modern Wallpaper

The Rodney Street wallpaper from Little Greene’s Storybook Papers collection is a subtly playful design with a surprising origin. The naive lines reference a pair of charming mechanical apple-picking toys from the 20th century. These small objects form part of a larger collection at The Hardmans’ House – an authentically preserved 1950s home and former photographic studio in Rodney Street, Liverpool.

Inspired by vintage toys

The simple, hand-drawn lines of the wallpaper perfectly capture the spirit of toy design from the past. The repetition of the plucking figures creates a rhythmic pattern with a soft retro feel, ideal for children's rooms, work rooms or playful accents in modern interiors.

Heritage in design

The Hardmans' House, managed by the National Trust, offers an insight into the life and work of portrait photographer Edward Chambré Hardman and his wife Margaret. Their home and studio form the backdrop to this unique source of inspiration, where art, nostalgia and craftsmanship come together.
