National Trust Papers IV wallpaper collection Little Greene

National Trust Papers IV wallpaper by Little Greene

With National Trust Papers IV wallpaper you bring flowers, leaves and birds into your home, drawn with visible lines and recognisable shapes. The collection by Little Greene ranges from a small-scale floral carpet to a mural that fills an entire wall. Some patterns appear light and airy on an off-white background. Others set pink flowers against dark grey-blue or let green hills disappear into mist. What they share is the attention to plants, rendered down to the veins of a leaf. You choose by scale and colour: how dense do you want the pattern, and how light or dark the wall?

Patterns in the National Trust Papers IV wallpaper collection

Bamboo Floral wallpaper shows blue-green bamboo leaves climbing diagonally upwards, with small red flowers and buds on off-white. Capricorn wallpaper is a panorama with no repeat: misty hills, banana plants and fan palms, and if you look carefully you'll see a purple bird and a monkey among the greenery. Much smaller in scale is Spring Flowers wallpaper, a dense field of tulips, carnations and violets in pink and sage green on dark grey-blue. In Great Ormond St. wallpaper parrots take centre stage; the design is based on a layer of wallpaper removed from the back of a cupboard in an 18th-century terraced house. Aderyn wallpaper combines birds and flowers in a richly decorated pattern that goes back to hand-painted work from the late 18th century. Burges Butterfly wallpaper places butterflies among the flowers. Those looking for more structure will find it in the floral grid of Ditsy Block wallpaper and in Mosaic Trail wallpaper, in which flowers in varying shades mimic a tile mosaic.

Little Greene wallpaper in the dining area and living room

In the photos you can see how different these patterns look. Bamboo Floral hangs in a dining area with a dark ribbed sideboard, a wicker chair and a petrol-blue skirting board that picks up the blue from the leaves. Capricorn fills the wall above dark panelling, with a green velvet armchair and sofa that bring the landscape into the room. With National Trust Papers IV by Little Greene it pays to give furniture and skirting boards a colour from the pattern.
