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.

Inspiring shades of Autumn


Handcrafted Wallpaper

We bring our wallpapers to life using traditional paint-on-paper and ink-on-paper techniques, thoughtfully chosen to best realise the character of each design. Each roll is finished with a protective, wipeable glaze. From hand-drawn patterns to scalpel-cut printing blocks and exacting visual checks, every stage is human‑led, shaped by patience and precision. 
 


Sustainability

Being conscious of the world around us has always been part of our story. For our wallpaper, that begins with the paper itself. Ours is plastic free, FSC certified and sourced from responsibly managed forests, with thought for local environments and long-term sustainability. Even our wallpaper paste is carefully considered; made using potato starch, so it’s natural, renewable and biodegradable.
Upgrades to our wallpaper factory, including new printing equipment and more efficient production planning, have also reduced the energy required to produce each roll.  Each improvement we make builds on decades of craft and color exploration. We keep testing, adjusting and refining until performance and conscience sit comfortably side by side.

Pattern that tells a story

Designed to be noticed and crafted to last, our patterned wallpapers bring depth, character and a sense of place to a room. 
 
Each roll draws from our decades of turning color inspiration into reality, whether it’s been made with traditional paint-on-paper or ink-on-paper techniques.

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. 

How long are the wallpaper rolls? 

Each roll is 32ft long and 20in wide. You can find the details and measurements for the pattern repeat of each paper on its dedicated product page.

Can I return unused wallpaper rolls?

Yes, you can return unopened rolls of wallpaper, apart from Archive wallpapers, which are made to order and therefore can’t be returned. Simply return the rolls to a showroom within 28 days of purchase for a full refund — do make sure to bring proof of purchase with you. We can also arrange to collect the rolls from you, however, any collection fees will be deducted from your refund. 

Can I get a free sample?

Yes! Please visit one of our showrooms to choose your free samples of our wallpaper. Please note that samples are not available of our Archive collection patterns, as these papers are made to order. To find your nearest showroom, please visit our showroom finder here .

Is Farrow & Ball wallpaper “paste the paper” or “paste the wall”?

With the launch of the Heritage Papers collection, we now offer both types. The three designs in the limited edition Heritage Papers are ‘paste the wall’ with all other papers in our collection being ‘paste the paper’. For full information about hanging our wallpaper, read the Product Advice Sheets for your chosen design. 

What type of paste should I use? 

For the best results with our paint-on-paper designs, we formulated our own wallpaper paste to be the perfect partner for them, thanks to its low alkalinity. 

For the three limited edition ‘paste the wall’ designs, we recommend using a light to medium-grade, pH-neutral, ready-mixed adhesive for the best installation results. Farrow & Ball wallpaper paste is not suitable for the ‘paste the wall’ designs. 

Wallpaper

For over 25 years, we’ve been handcrafting extraordinary wallpaper at our home in Dorset. We use our own, richly pigmented paint, traditional techniques, and bespoke equipment to print extraordinary patterns on sustainably sourced, fully recyclable paper.  

You won’t find wallpaper like ours anywhere else. 


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.  


Handcrafted Wallpaper

We handcraft our wallpaper at our Dorset factory using age-old methods that take months to master, including open-trough and flatbed printing.

From hand-cut pads to quality control to packaging, each roll has a purposefully personal touch. We print our very own Farrow & Ball paint on paper, and even create bespoke colours exclusively for our wallpapers.

This technique means each wallpaper has deeper, richer colours that work wonderfully with walls, ceilings and woodwork painted with our palette. Each roll is finished with a fine layer of specially formulated, wipeable glaze, ensuring the paper stays beautiful. 


Sustainability


Our wallpaper is crafted with care and conscience. We source all of our paper from sustainably managed forests and, as it’s vinyl-free, any offcuts are fully recyclable. We craft our wallpaper in small batches using 100% renewable energy and send zero waste sent to landfill. It’s all part of our commitment to protecting the planet. 


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.
