And now, you can explore the full range – alongside perfectly matched Little Greene paints – right here in the Patternmatch Interiors online shop

Wallpaper That Tells a Story

‘Storybook Papers’ is more than just a children’s wallpaper range. Yes, it’s perfect for nurseries, playrooms and bedrooms – but its appeal reaches far beyond that. With quirky animal prints, vintage car illustrations, and botanical motifs drawn from archive finds, this collection brings a unique narrative to any room in the house.

Each design is available in a considered palette of Little Greene shades, meaning you can coordinate with paint for woodwork, ceilings or even ceilings and cabinetry – giving your room a polished, designer finish.

Here are some standout ways to use this delightful collection:

Bring the Jungle to Breakfast with Animal Kingdom

Why not add a burst of energy to your family kitchen or breakfast nook? The Animal Kingdom design, especially in the vibrant Atomic colourway, introduces a fun menagerie of creatures and tropical foliage that will brighten up every morning. Pair it with walls or woodwork painted in calming Slaked Lime – Mid to balance vibrancy with sophistication.

Add Understated Whimsy to Dining Rooms with Rodney Street

For those who want subtle charm, Rodney Street in Masquerade is a refined pink wallpaper with a botanical twist – inspired by a vintage mechanical toy. Use it in a dining room with painted furniture in Slaked Lime or masquerade to create a light-hearted, elegant setting for everyday meals and weekend gatherings alike.

Define Spaces with Road Trip & Broad Stripe

Modern family homes often need their rooms to do double duty. Create clever visual zones by pairing Road Trip – Pleat with Broad Stripe – Pleat in an open-plan living area. Whether you're carving out a home office corner or a kids’ reading nook, these prints work together to define space while keeping things cohesive.

Add Personality to Practical Spaces

Wallpaper isn’t just for feature walls. Small functional rooms like bathrooms, utility spaces and hallways are prime spots for adding character. Try Broad Stripe – Pea Green in the family bathroom with pops of Heat and Yellow-Pink on woodwork for a lively yet grounded colour scheme. In the laundry or pantry, wrap all four walls in Rodney Street – Sage & Onions and enjoy a little botanical joy with every load of washing.

Let Beatrix Potter Guide Your Hallway Decor

Inspired by sketches of Nip and Lassie, Beatrix Potter’s own collies, the eponymous wallpaper brings rural charm to transitional spaces. Use Nip & Lassie – Slaked Lime Dark on the stairs or landing for a softly textured backdrop that complements both natural and painted wood finishes.
