Anna French wallpaper

Anna French wallpaper was founded in 1976 by British designer Anna French, who, together with her husband John French, started a textile house of her own in a former Victorian lace factory in Scotland. What began as a workshop for lace grew into an internationally admired brand that is known today for refined botanical prints, romantic floral motifs and historic designs. Since 2007 the brand has been part of the American house Thibaut, within which Anna French forms the British sister label. To this day the designs are created in London.

How Anna French wallpaper unites English tradition with a contemporary twist

The character of Anna French wallpaper is unmistakably British. The designers draw on the English decorative tradition and translate classic motifs, such as botanical prints, chinoiserie, toile and refined floral patterns, into designs that feel as fresh in a modern interior as they ever did. Alongside these are atmospheric murals that evoke the English landscape. Through this combination of archive-rich patterns and contemporary colourways, the wallpaper lends character to a space without demanding all of the attention.

Materials and look of Anna French wallpaper

The collections of Anna French wallpaper play strongly with texture and colour. Many designs have the natural appearance of linen or a subtle weave, giving a wall depth and warmth without becoming overpowering. Metallic accents and carefully composed colour palettes ensure that the same pattern feels right at home in both a classic country house and a sleek urban apartment. Most of the wallpapers are produced on a non-woven backing, which makes hanging easier and later removal simple and clean. In this way you combine a luxurious, natural look with practical ease in everyday use.

Where does Anna French wallpaper look its best?

The strength of Anna French wallpaper lies in its versatility. A soft floral print in a country bedroom, combined with linen bedding and wooden furniture, instantly conjures the feel of a British country house. Large-scale designs such as the Cumbria Mural wallpaper turn a hallway or living room into a focal point. Anyone looking for a single dreamy accent wall will find in Cloud 9 a light, atmospheric choice that gives a room instant depth. The calm texture of Deauville Linen, in turn, fits seamlessly into a Scandinavian-inspired living room.

Hanging and caring for Anna French wallpaper

Unsure about a colour or pattern? Then order a sample first, so you can see at home how the wallpaper looks under your own lighting conditions. Because most rolls are produced on a non-woven backing, you apply the paste directly to the wall and hang the lengths dry. For wallpaper with a large pattern repeat or for murals, we recommend working together with one of our professional wallpaper hangers, so that the pattern match lines up perfectly.
