A celebration of repetition, imperfection and scale.
There is something comforting about the worn spine of an old French book. The softened edges. The faded inks. The subtle repetition of pattern pressed gently into paper over time.
The Archivist Collection draws its inspiration from these quiet details. Designed as a mini collection of hand drawn wallpaper, each piece has been created to work effortlessly across both wallpaper and fabric.
Let us introduce you to the collection.
Etta is the most abstract hand drawn wallpaper in the collection. A composition of dots and feathery lines creates subtle texture and movement across the surface.
Though small in scale, the density of the pattern gives it presence. Etta carries quiet confidence and works particularly well in spaces that favour a bolder statement – dining rooms, creative studios or contemporary living areas.
Styled with simple furniture silhouettes and considered lighting, this hand drawn wallpaper adds depth without clutter.
Mabel features a repeat of daisy-inspired florals – playful yet refined.
There is charm here, but also structure. Depending on the colourway you choose, this wallpaper can feel vibrant and expressive or soft and delicate.
Mabel lends itself beautifully to layered interiors. Think painted panelling, antique furniture, woven textures and collected objects. It brings warmth while maintaining elegance, making it ideal for children’s bedrooms, kitchens or welcoming family spaces.
Madeline is the most minimal hand drawn wallpaper in the collection – a repeat of delicate flowers, finely drawn and thoughtfully spaced.
This design is quiet by nature. It whispers rather than announces itself. The small scale makes it incredibly versatile, whether used across an entire room, within alcoves, or as a backdrop to shelving and artwork.
Choosing hand drawn wallpaper is just the beginning. Styling it thoughtfully is what allows a room to truly come together.
Here are a few ideas to help you bring the Archivist Collection to life.
Pattern works best when balanced with texture. Pair your hand drawn wallpaper with natural linens, wool throws, timber furniture or stone accessories to create warmth and depth. The softness of handcrafted hand drawn wallpaper is enhanced when surrounded by tactile materials.
If you’re using hand drawn wallpaper behind open shelving, allow objects to complement rather than compete. Group ceramics, books or vases in cohesive tones drawn from the wallpaper itself. This keeps the overall look curated and calm.
Hand drawn wallpaper pairs beautifully with painted panelling, ceilings or woodwork. Pulling a subtle tone from the design and using it on surrounding paintwork creates cohesion and a layered finish.
While wallpaper can be striking as a feature wall, the small-scale nature of the Archivist Collection also lends itself to full-room application. Used across all four walls, the repetition creates atmosphere and a sense of enveloping calm.
Soft, warm lighting allows pattern to shift and soften throughout the day. Table lamps, wall lights and layered illumination will enhance the depth and detail within the design.
