The Purnon Papers
Built in 1788 just south of the Loire Valley in France, Château de Purnon was once the grand home of Antoine-Charles Achard, Marquis de la Haye. Over the years, this enchanting building has fallen into disrepair. However, Felicity Selkirk and Tim Holding saw glimpses of the château’s former glory and made the bold decision to bring it back to life.
The pair reached out to us about renovating a neglected bedroom and bathroom, but when our Creative Director Charlotte Cosby saw the treasure trove of pattern and colour within the walls, she was inspired to do more. And the rest is history.
Our Wallpaper
From dramatic damasks to sophisticated stripes, fresh florals to historic homages, welcome to our wonderful world of wallpaper. Inspired by moments of time, styles of design and even particularly cherished places, every Farrow & Ball wallpaper has a story to tell.
Created Using Our Paint
Unlike digitally printed wallpapers that use ink, printing paint on paper creates a beautifully tactile finish and means each roll is utterly unique. Using real Farrow & Ball paint ensures every design has the signature depth of colour we’re known for and can be effortlessly paired with shades from our palette. The finishing touch is a fine layer of protective, wipeable glaze.

Wallpaper FAQs
How do I know how much I need to order?
If you’re using a decorator, it’s always a good idea to ask their opinion. However, we’re also more than happy to help with an estimation. Drop us an email at sales@farrow-ball.com with measurements (height and width) of the walls you’re papering and a note of which wallpaper you’re planning to use. Please also make a note of any wall features that won’t need to be papered, such as windows and doors.
What type of paste should I use?
For the best results, we recommend using our own, specially formulated wallpaper paste. Non-acidic to protect the pattern you love and a tube that doubles as a measuring jug, it’s purpose-made to be the perfect partner. .
