LEAF LOVE

These trailing jasmine vines are sprawling yet elegant. And look a little closer to discover small yellow birds and delicate flowers peeping through, too. This soft green is perfect for spring and will sit back beautifully against pinks, blues and wooden pieces.

ILLUSTRATIVE AND PRETTY

This classic print was the first William Morris wallpaper ever to be sold in 1864, and now the experts at Sanderson have given it a new lease of life for modern homes. With its symmetrical, almost scientific appearance, it’s both traditional and quirky, adding a whimsical and quaint edge to this Shaker-style kitchen.
