Country stripes
This smart grey striped wallpaper from Little Greene is based on a fragment that emerged during English Heritage’s restoration work at Marlborough House on Pall Mall, London, though that paper in itself was based on an original from much earlier. Suitable for both town and country, Cavendish Stripe in Brush Stone is £74 per roll from wallpaperdirect.com.
Upholstery
Beautifully soft velvet upholstery fabric with a subtle sheen and fine distressed stripe in sage green. Suitable for upholstery and drapes. Zoffany’s Curzon Sage Green is £108m from fabricsandpapers.com.
Curtains or blinds
A beautiful mid-scale floral pattern based on a French 18th century block print with stylised flowers that look rather like poppies and chrysanthemums set within a ribbon structure. Amberley in Greengage from £78m from clothandclover.com.
