Hidden Gems and Old Friends

None of our colours ever truly disappear. They may leave the Signature Palette or a limited edition collection, but they are always available to order from our Archive.

A collection rooted in history

For our 80th anniversary, we've looked into the Archive to create 14 new wallpapers from three distinctive designs. Reimagined in contemporary colorways, each retains the character of the original, with a considered palette designed to sit beautifully alongside our paints.

Three original patterns.
Fourteen new wallpapers.

Sweet Pea, Gothic and Vine Leaf each bring something different to the wall.

One is delicate and floral. One is structured and architectural. One is full of botanical movement and depth. Together they offer 14 new ways to use pattern and color, with paint pairings that help every room feel beautifully considered.


Crafted with care

These wallpapers bring our original designs to life in a new way. Printed using ink-on-paper, they preserve the richness, depth and intricate detail of each pattern. As a first for Farrow & Ball, these three papers can be hung using the paste the wall method, applying paste directly to the wall rather than the paper. A new approach with the same commitment to quality and craft.

Sweet Pea.
A softer kind of floral.

Layers of soft floral detail give Sweet Pea quiet elegance and a touch of romance. Beautifully decorative with a hand painted feel, Sweet Pea is a traditional Edwardian pattern which originates from a house near Oban on Scotland's west coast.

Gothic.
Pattern with poise.

Bold, atmospheric and steeped in history, Gothic is a faithful reproduction of the wallpaper originally used in the staircase hall of a historical building in Worcestershire. Inspired by cathedral shadows and dramatic archways, the design delivers a striking sense of depth and decorative richness, capturing the enduring allure of moody, immersive spaces.

Vine Leaf.
A study in nature.

Vine Leaf is an original hand-drawn design rediscovered in the Farrow & Ball Archive and brought to life as wallpaper for the very first time. Intricate yet unfussy, this trailing botanical pattern brings a soft, expressive quality to interiors, unwinding with an easy, natural rhythm.
