Clermont wallpaper collection Anna French

Clermont wallpaper by Anna French: botanical patterns in cream, rust red and light green

Clermont wallpaper brings flowers, trails and foliage to the wall in a traditional, hand-drawn style. The collection by Anna French shows how differently one theme can work: a cream ground with peonies and palm plumes, a rust-red wall with large stylised flowers, a light green surface full of blue chintz flowers. In the images, the wallpaper always hangs above white panelling, and two patterns reappear as a curtain or Roman blind. This shows how wall and window form one unified look. Besides the floral patterns, the collection also includes stripes and a check.

Patterns in the Clermont wallpaper collection

Drexel Hill wallpaper places green palm-like plumes, ochre and orange peonies, purple grape clusters and small butterflies in vertical strips on a speckled cream ground. St. Gilles wallpaper is larger in scale: beige and sand-coloured flowers with blue-grey foliage on rust red, connected by a flowing trail that runs from top to bottom. Francois wallpaper fills a light green ground entirely with brown branches and carnations, roses and bellflowers in blue and petrol blue. You'll find birds and blossom branches in Paloma wallpaper, while Chloe wallpaper, Cecilia wallpaper and Juliette Trail wallpaper work with trails, blossoms and smaller floral motifs. Sigourney wallpaper has soft, flowing shapes. For calmer surfaces there are French Stripe wallpaper, Payton Stripe wallpaper and Payton Check wallpaper, which you can use to link up with a floral pattern in an adjoining room.

Combining Anna French wallpaper with panelling and furniture

In all three images, the pattern stops at white panelling, giving the design breathing space. With Drexel Hill, an ochre-yellow sofa and a green lamp pick up the colours of the peonies and plumes. St. Gilles is balanced by a beige armchair and dark wood, and Francois makes a blue-and-white Delft vase with white larkspur stand out beautifully. If you choose Clermont wallpaper, it pays to repeat one colour from the pattern in your furniture.
