Fern wallpaper by Little Greene: Botanical elegance from the Twentieth Century

The Fern wallpaper from Little Greene's 20th Century Papers collection is a stunning example of how graphic techniques from the past, such as screen printing, have had a lasting influence on contemporary interior design. Inspired by ornamental plants and decorative silhouettes, this design combines natural forms with a timeless aesthetic.

Source of inspiration: Ferns and botanical motifs

The pattern clearly references ferns – plants that have been a source of inspiration in art and decoration for centuries. Their structured leaf shapes and graceful repetition make them ideal for graphic design.

Screen Printing: An Artistic Revolution in Wallpaper Design

In the mid-twentieth century, screen printing became particularly popular among artists and designers. This printing technique allowed bold patterns and vibrant colors to be applied in an affordable and efficient way. Designs based on flora – such as ferns and other ornamental plants – were popular for their decorative potential.

Fern is a typical example of such a design. The fine lines and sharp silhouettes that could be achieved with screen printing are perfectly translated into this wallpaper pattern. The result is a wallpaper with character, balance and a distinctive style.

In short, Little Greene's Fern wallpaper brings together the beauty of botanical silhouettes and the rich history of screen printing in a contemporary design. Perfect for lovers of timeless design with a natural twist.
