Wild Rose wallpaper - peridot

£200
| /

Sophie was thrilled to create this special wallpaper to Celebrate 40 years of Alex Monroe jewellery. As two artisans who draw from nature and make by hand, the collaboration between Sophie and Alex was a natural partnership. 

For their 40th year Alex Monroe are celebrating the motifs that shaped their journey - the humble bumblebee and the wild rose. These icons of the British countryside conjured the idea of a hedgerow pattern, intertwined with honeysuckle and rosehips, bringing a fresh twist to the arts and crafts aesthetic. 

The wallpaper, printed in Lancashire using methods unchanged since the 1800s - brings to life the spirit of nature and craft that so inspires us both - and brings fresh life and tactility to beautiful homes.

COLOUR NOTES
Light fresh greens are the focus of this paper and they work well with so many paint schemes. To match the background try Edward Bulmer's 'Granite Green' at 40%. I also love 'Green Ground' by Farrow & Ball and 'Acorn' by Little Greene for some pale options.

To pick out the reds, pinks or yellows try: 'Picture Gallery' (F&B) or Tuscan Red (LG). Lovely pinks are Edward Bulmer's 'Nicaragua' or 'Roben's Honour' by Paint & Paper Library. Various deep yellows could compliment the honeysuckle and bees but I love 'India Yellow' (F&B) or Little Greene's 'Yellow-Pink'.

Lastly, if you'd prefer to pull out one of the darker greens, I recommend an Olive - all the paint brands have various shades and options but an olive will have the right tone overall.

How to calculate wallpaper

Our wallpaper rolls measure 52cm x 10 metres. This means each roll covers approximately 5 metres square.

To work out how much you need, measure the width and height of each wall, one at time. Multiply the two dimensions. (Ignore doors and windows because it's always better to have some paper spare than not enough, especially when working around features like these).

So for example, the first of 4 walls in a room is H3m x W5m = 15m square. Then divide that by 5 and discover you need 3 rolls for this wall.

Continue this for each wall until you have a total for the room.

Now! This part is vital - you now need to add on an extra 20%. Let's say the room was 60m square in total. You calculated 12 rolls of wallpaper required - and now you need to add another 2-3 rolls to this total.

Why? There is quite a bit of room for error with wallpapering and it's much better safe than sorry. Some paper it lost while matching up the pattern or papering around architectural features.

We hope this helps and please contact us with any questions.

How to wash and care for linen

For our 100% linen we strongly recommend dry cleaning only as shrinkage may occur with regular washing. This is especially important if your linen is already made into curtains, loose covers or soft furnishings of any kind. You do not want to find they no longer fit after washing!

For minor spills on cushion covers and upholstery, simply sponge clean quickly with warm water and a little gentle soap. (Avoid products with bleach).

If you do decide to wash pure linen yourself, do so before it is made into furnishings. Hand-wash cool (max. 30°). Lay flat while damp and allow to air dry.

Do not iron linen. Gently steam, with a household steamer, if necessary. Please remember that some light rumples are part of the beauty of natural cloth. ​
