GP & J Baker | Apple Blossom

Apple Blossom prints the branching form of the apple tree in flower across a paper ground, part of the same Crayford print family as Nympheus and drawn with the same close botanical attention. The 61 by 52 centimetre repeat gives the blossom and branch room to breathe, so it reads as a spring garden rather than a tight, formal pattern, with the branch structure visible enough to follow from one drop to the next.

This is a printed paper wallpaper, 52 centimetres wide, with a 61 centimetre vertical and 52 centimetre horizontal repeat. There is one colourway, Aqua/Gilver, pairing a clear blue-green ground with a warm gold-silver blossom tone the mill calls gilver; the combination gives the print a little sheen without it becoming a true metallic paper, and it photographs particularly well in a room with good natural light.

We would use it in a garden room or a bathroom, where the aqua ground and the season of the print both make sense, or on a single feature wall in a bedroom with the gilver tone picked up in lamp bases or mirror frames. Keep neighbouring fabrics plain, in a solid aqua or a warm neutral, so the blossom stays the focus of the room rather than competing with another print. Sold by the roll; order a sample before committing to a full room.

Match the branch pattern at each seam so the blossom continues cleanly across the wall, and expect some wastage from the 61 centimetre repeat when you calculate quantities. Roll length is not given here, so check the label before ordering; as a rule of thumb, allow three to four rolls for an average wall, more if the room has several external corners to turn or a run of windows to cut around.
