Following on from its launch in January 2021 we are now adding three new colourways to this new classic design. We love the way the same design can take on a completely different aspect with different colours.
Originally from 2013’s printed fabric collection, Agiasos was inspired by a tile pattern in the background of a French Orientalist painting of the 1890s. Striking in its modernity it makes a perfect addition to the collection. It is geometric but with the painterly hand associated with No.9 it gives a certain softness and movement.
A simple but classic trellis of a generous scale, the shadow lines give a convincing three-dimensional effect.This wallpaper is sold in the traditional format and can be used on its own or it can be combined with “Mirror Trellis Panel” to break up the interior space or to frame an architectural feature. Available in one colourway, printed on metallic foil.
Inspired by a detail in the background of a French Orientaliste painting of the 1890s, AGIASOS is a geometric, but with the typical painterly hand associated with the rest of the No.9 collections. This gives a softness and movement often lacking in many graphic designs. It works as well as a wallpaper as a fabric. Two exciting new colourways.
Another design taken from an original No9 print, Agra is based on the classic hand knotted Indian rugs of the same name. The texture of the stitch is reproduced here to create a wall covering with a damask like effect. Some of the colours have a soft lustre giving an elegant feel, whilst other colourways such as yellow with palest grey, and emerald with peacock have a drier finish.
A simple but classic trellis of a generous scale, the shadow lines give a convincing three-dimensional effect. This wallpaper is sold in the traditional format and can be used on its own or it can be combined with “Mirror Trellis” to break up the interior space or to frame an architectural feature. Available in one colourway, printed on metallic foil.
With the borders of the accompanying design ENTER THE DRAGONS removed, the wallpaper DRAGON DANCE is easy to use across a wall whilst still bringing elegant drama to any room. A striking “Grisaille” colourway joins the existing selection.
This scale of design was hugely popular in the ‘70s, endlessly adaptable as a faux plain. We decided toupdate the idea by using a small geometric motif on a plain ground. It gives extra interest to the idea of a plain wall, and the metallic colourways have an intriguing play of light and shadow.
A simple but classic trellis of a generous scale, the shadow lines give a convincing three-dimensional effect. Available in several colourways, this wallpaper is sold in the traditional format. It can be used on its own or it can be combined with “Trellis Panel” to break up the interior space or to frame an architectural feature. Available in five colourways, printed on non-woven matte paper.
WEDDING PARADE Whilst Richard was researching the original design he found one of his old sketchbooks with drawings from Udaipur and a copy of an 1850’s painting depicting a marriage celebration. He has tried to capture the color, movement, drama and sounds of such an occasion here with WEDDING PARADE. The characters and animals run horizontally across the wallpaper so the parade is endless!
So named because it looks like it has been confidently painted with traditional Chinese ink and brush, and because the giant disjointed stripes of bold colour are reminiscent of bamboo. Thick white strokes of paint on a soft blue ground and gold on chocolate are just two of the exciting and dramatic colorways.

Inspired by his passion for gardens, JIM’S GARDEN combines North American varieties of rose with orchids and other exotic Asian flowers. Butterflies hover between the fragrant bouquets. Five colourways in total.
Named for Christian Berard who created the famous trompe l’oeuil Paris showroom of Guerlain in 1939. This wallpaper has a similar effect of painterly, whimsical panelling, and comes in a colour range of four chalky hues.
The decorative niches featured in Maharaja Tent were inspired by a detail in a 17th century Indian miniature painting. Enlarged in scale from the original, the arched area is framed top and bottom by a series of borders also taken from traditional Mughal motifs. This panel can be used for an entire room to create the feeling of a tent interior or combined with “Maharaja Panel” to give depth to a plain wall or to highlight an architectural feature.
Amasura is an all over paisley whose painterly brush marks work well on our non-woven wallcovering. The block-like effect of the original artwork adds to the vintage feel of this useable design. Available in three colourways.
Inspired by the decoration on an eighteenth century Chinese porcelain snuff-box, Richard’s original watercolour sketches are beautifully reproduced as an extra wide-width wallpaper, sold by the metre. There is a co-ordinating fabric, but the wallpaper has a crisp plain ground giving a more graphic look.
The climbing vine depicted in “Maharaja Panel” was taken from a section of an Indian miniature painting of the 17th century, and repainted on a grand scale. It is framed top and bottom by a series of borders also taken from traditional Mughal motifs. The panel can be used for an entire room or combined with “Maharaja Tent” to give depth to a plain wall or to highlight an architectural feature.
Bold roundels of dramatic colour emulate the hand-appliquéd crafts of central Asia. Now available as a wallpaper in four colourways, including two new, that sit well with the coordinating fabrics.
Over the years I have designed many small scale papers – so verstile and useful, they will brighten up a dull corner or disguise an uneven wall. Chinese Daisiy, inspired by a tiny detail of a C19 woven brocade, also appears in the ground of the fabric ‘Butterfly House’.
Lush foliage is peppered with exotic birds and beyond the meandering stream distant hills sit against a perfect sky. This area, gradating darker as it reaches the top, allows this design to be easily customised to the height of a room. The wallpaper repeats from side to side from one roll to another.
The interlocking fretwork shapes of CHINESE STEPS make a wonderful stripe. Multi-coloured, it is an incredibly useful addition to any interiors scheme. Two wallpaper colourways match the new fabrics whilst three more match existing fabrics.
We have been asked for a coordinating wallpaper to "Enter the Dragons" since its launch in 2011, and this season has presented the perfect opportunity. I have altered the repeat, removing the wide borders so it is easier to use on the wall, and recreated four of the original colourways. Printed on super wide non-woven paper and sold by the meter it brings elegant drama to any room.
Traditional Chinese ink paintings informed this striking panel made of 3 adjoining drops. Two tigers circle one another whilst a third, languishing on a rocky outcrop above, looks on.
Loosely based on a traditional floral rug design the subtle stripe layout works well as a wallpaper. The shifting colors within the geometric background pattern are reminiscent of a knotted silk rug. Available in four colourways to coordinate with the linen fabric
Drawn in the same painterly hand as TEA PARTY, this wallpaper version of Trellis from the Orientaliste collection, is a beguiling maze with an exciting mix of colorways – from wheat on ivory to metallic gold on rich terracotta.

Evocative of the loose painted panelling of Christian Bérard from the 1940s. This paper is made up of two panels which fit together to create pilasters. The pilasters can be used for an entire room or combined with Palm Court Panel wallpaper as shown below. Either would make a dramatic statement in a hall or a dining room.
Another screen inspired design, Hainan has a convincing 3-D effect. The printing technique combines two different processes where the final colour is surface printed, leaving a hand made detail. There is a huge variety within the offering of colourways from white, beige and silver to a symphony of saturated blues.

This paper is made up of two adjoining panels which fit together to depict a whimsical scene of palm trees framed by pilasters. The panel can be used for an entire room or combined with Palm Court wallpaper as shown below. Either would make a dramatic statement in a hall or a dining room.
Taken from the interlocking shapes of Chinese paving stones, the original design, much imitated since its launch in 2009, was printed on a heavy linen. The interplay of overlaid colours has the vibrancy and excitement of looking through a kaleidoscope – different shades and tones are broken into abstract geometry and it makes a perfect wallpaper.
A patchwork of woven denim squares inspired by my father’s favourite jeans from the 1970’s. This makes a wonderful background paper with its soft, irregular texture and is eminently useable throughout the home.
Nacre also calls to mind the sophisticated inlay of mother of pearl furniture. A ravishing colour palette goes from pearl white to a saturated kingfisher blue with several really good neutrals in between.
A fresh take on a classic toile, the super-sized elements are painted with a fresh watercolour hand to resemble a tiled delft wall. The design is printed to exactly match the co-ordinating fabric, which will allow for some spectacular decorative schemes.
This is a more architectural and smaller scale of the no9 fabric of the same name. The original was based on a Chinese fretwork screen, painted big and bold and this version takes the same inspiration but is cleaner and makes the perfect wallpaper. Among the exciting colourways is a billiard room green and white - a true classic.
A border from a Chinese Deco carpet inspired this wallpaper – the kinks and quirks in the stripes are redolent of 1930s Shanghai. All five of the colorways have a soft metallic detail, which makes the design sparkle.
A witty take on a toile de jouy: Mythical birds sit in fantastic trees whilst child acrobats somersault, balancing tea pots on their feet, all watched over by indulgent, smiling grown-ups. Based on the No.9 fabric of the same name from 2009, the new wallpaper version has lost the detail from the original, giving it a crisper more graphic look.
A facsimile of the 2013 fabric of the same name, this is a digitally printed wide width wallpaper with all the hand painted details of the original. Elephants, horsemen, musicians and dancers accompany the maharajah groom.
