The collection
The patterns in this range have been exclusively created by the Designers Guild studio for English Heritage. They are inspired by an historic archive of wallpapers that were acquired by English Heritage from the 1970s onwards, rescued as part of their ongoing conservation work.
The bedlinen collection features lush botanical prints beautifully balanced with soothing geometric patterns. Printed on 200 thread count and a sateen finish, each bed is infused with enticing colour to create a collection with an enduring yet contemporary style. Printed and embellished cushions adding a striking accent to each of the designs.
