The latest Little Greene collection, ‘Archive Trails’ is an anthology of trailing wallpaper motifs that can be used in either a classic or contemporary setting.
Here we have compiled six ways to use ornithological and floral prints with coordinating paint colours for an effortless yet refined interiors scheme.
Sophisticated Framing
Rather than opting for a full feature wall, frame a large, bold print and combine with coordinating colours to achieve a contemporary, artistic look. The muted Gustav – Trophy combines perfectly with simplistic Grey Moss 234 framing and a neutral Linen Wash 33 backdrop.

Create Cosiness and Warmth
Create a sumptuous accent wall using Vine-Bleu and coordinate with trims painted in Lamp Black 228. Pairing a classic wallpaper design with a bold, deep colour immediately updates the room and exudes warmth.

Pattern Contrast
Use two contrasting wallpaper colourways together to create harmony within a large space. Use a neutral colour on woodwork and doors to ensure that the wallpaper remains the focal point.

Colour Highlights
Accessorise with a fresh highlight of colour using a bright shade like Mister David 47 to complement the vibrancy of the wallpaper design.

Simple Combinations
Utilise classic colour combinations such as gold and white for an effective contrast. The delicate shimmer of Sakura – Yellow Lustre is complemented by the simplicity of Loft White 222.
