Introducing ‘In the Garden’
Available now, ‘In the Garden’ is a celebration of inspirational gardens – both great and small – and some of the founding characters behind them.
Explore the collection of eight new wallpaper designs and cultivate interiors that evoke the beauty of the natural world…
We are delighted to introduce ‘In the Garden’, our sixth wallpaper collection created in collaboration with the National Trust, comprising eight eclectic designs. The collection colourfully draws upon the relationship between interior design and the outdoor space, which often defines the character of a locale, building or room.
These beautiful new wallpapers have been inspired by some of the nation’s most-loved gardens, that are cherished and cared for by the National Trust. Grand grounds, humble horticultural collections, individual plants and historical floral artefacts have all provided the source material to create this vibrant collection.
Our Creative Director, Ruth, writes: “It’s a real privilege to be able to work with the National Trust, Europe’s largest conservation charity. Previous collaborative collections have focused on reimagining historic patterns and finding inspiration in interiors and objects within National Trust properties. Our ‘In the Garden’ collection shines a light on the incredible gardens and grounds in the National Trust’s care. Bringing the colour and joy of nature and flowers in bloom, there is something for everyone in this completely eclectic collection. From the simple, often overlooked daisy, to the elaborate, sweeping planting of Sissinghurst Castle.”
A contribution from the sale of every roll of Little Greene wallpaper is made in support of the National Trust’s important work caring for 500 places, including 890 miles of coastline, historic sites, 250,000 hectares of countryside and green spaces, ensuring that people and nature thrive – now and for ever.
Wallpaper: Castle Garden - Pale Lime, Skirting: Dark Brunswick Green, Door: Pearl Colour - Dark
Wallpaper: Lily Pads – Hopper, Skirting: Basalt, Wall: Slaked Lime – Mid
Inspired by incredible natural landscapes…
The collection includes two contemporary mural designs that showcase the magnificent natural surroundings of two treasured National Trust properties.
Our vibrant and expansive mural, ‘Castle Garden’ depicts the ‘garden rooms’ of Sissinghurst in Kent. One of England’s most-visited gardens, the grounds were transformed by Vita Sackville-West in the mid-20th century, despite her having no formal training in garden design.
The new ‘Lily Pads’ mural draws inspiration from the 100 acres of lakes which surround the Stackpole Estate in Wales. Here, visitors can spot many forms of wildlife, including the distinctive wild otters which are a charming feature of this wallpaper design.

Wallpaper: Rose Garden - Puck, Ceiling: Olive Colour, Fireplace & architrave: Travertine - Light, Skirting: Puck, Floor: Portland Stone
Designed in partnership with the National Trust…
Alongside stately grounds, our new ‘In the Garden’ wallpapers celebrate some of the most inspiring botanical collections in the care of the National Trust.
The light-hearted print, ‘Mr Straw’s Greenhouse’ was inspired by a collection of cacti and succulents belonging to a beloved 1930s grocer in Nottinghamshire. WillIam and Walter Straw’s greenhouse is now looked after by the National Trust, and is still home to an intriguing horticultural collection today.

Our ‘Rose Garden’ wallpaper is based on the walled rose garden at the National Trust’s Mottisfont Abbey in Hampshire. The roses are from the National Plant Collection of Rosa; pre-1900 shrub roses that flower for just a few weeks in early summer each year.

Wallpaper: Moon Daisies - Garden, Skirting: Garden, Ceiling: Ceviche
Drawn from historic artefacts…
This eclectic collection encompasses bold, contemporary patterns and timeless prints, with two designs recreating historic patterns found in the National Trust archives.
The trailing ‘May’s Tulip’ wallpaper originated as a set of late-19th-century embroidered panels designed by May Morris, the daughter of William Morris. A highly skilled craftsperson, May was best known for her work in embroidery, designing beautiful stylised floral patterns.
‘Moon Daisies’ is inspired by a late-19th-century wallpaper found at Oxburgh Hall in Norfolk. The yellow centres of each daisy flower have been flocked to bring an added textural element to this inviting floral print.

Wallpaper: Magnolia Blossom – Tivoli, Ceiling & Skirting: Slaked Lime, Doors: Slaked Lime - Mid, Floor: Slaked Lime – Dark
Evoking the beauty of the natural world…
Our ‘In the Garden’ wallpaper collection enables you to bring the tranquillity of nature indoors, transforming your walls with beautiful botanical and floral patterns.
‘Rhododendron Walk’ showcases the colourful blooms that accompany woodland and lakeside walks at many National Trust properties, in the form of rhododendrons and azaleas. This elegantly coloured wallpaper works wonderfully in combination with coordinating paint shades for an immersive, nature-inspired scheme.
The ‘Magnolia Blossom’ wallpaper has been inspired by four cherished Magnolia tree specimens at Nymans and Bodnant, and the estates of Lanhydrock and Trengwainton. This calming forest of delicate blossoms and stylised magnolias in bloom brings an instant sense of peace to a space.
