Botanical artistry

The ultimate in elegance, chinoiserie designs are perfect for creating a timeless yet whimsical feel. Inspired by 18th-century panels at Eastnor Castle, Watts 1874 has created four exquisite repeat wallpapers reworked from original documents and presented in modern colourways. Featuring delicate trailing blossoms in punchy red and orange, this print would look fabulous offset with green woodwork. Japonica wallpaper in Red Flowers, £478 a roll, Watts 1874 x Eastnor Castle

Peonies and peacocks

Paying homage to chinoiserie design, this exuberant floral of billowing tree peonies and prancing peacocks from Colefax and Fowler is a confident showstopper that shines over full-length drapes. Derived from an archive document from the turn of the century, the design is also available in navy and red for extra wow factor. Pair the fabric with cane furniture to lean into the romantic look.
