Brantwood gives its name to the whole collection, and is the pattern most directly connected to Ruskin's own garden at his house in the Lake District, printed on a non-woven ground with a 22 centimetre repeat. As the collection's title design it carries the documentary character of the range most clearly, a botanical drawn from a real, recorded planting rather than an invented motif, and it is worth knowing before choosing between its companion prints.
The paper is a 100 per cent non-woven base, 70 centimetres wide, with a 22 centimetre vertical repeat; no horizontal repeat is given on this listing. Four colourways: Red/Green is the warmest, Indigo/Teal and Green both keep to a cooler garden palette, and Woodsmoke is the most muted and smoky of the four, best suited to a room lit mostly by lamps in the evening.
We would hang Red/Green in a dining room or hallway that wants warmth and history behind it, and Indigo/Teal, Green or Woodsmoke in a bedroom or sitting room that wants the same documentary design with a quieter palette. Pair it with a plain linen in one of its tones for curtains and blinds, keeping the rest of the room restrained. Sold by the roll; order a sample before committing to a full room.
Match the repeat carefully at each seam so the botanical continues cleanly across the wall rather than breaking at the join. Roll length is not given here, so check the label before ordering; as a guide, allow three rolls for an average wall, since the wider 70 centimetre roll covers more ground per length than a narrower paper, with an extra roll in hand for later repairs.
