Eltham is a botanical print from the Ashmore collection, its name recalling the great English houses the range often draws on for inspiration, set out at a 64.5 centimetre vertical repeat on a non-woven ground. The drawing has the loose, garden-plan quality typical of the Ashmore range rather than the tighter, more formal repeats found elsewhere in the GP & J Baker range, and it is offered in an unusually wide choice of colour.
The paper is a 100 per cent non-woven base, 70 centimetres wide, with a 64.5 centimetre vertical repeat; no horizontal repeat is given on this listing. There are eight colourways in all; Blue, Red, Indigo and Emerald are among the most useful, running from cool and traditional through to a warmer, more saturated option, so there is a version to suit most existing schemes and most tastes.
We would hang it in a bedroom or a garden-facing sitting room, choosing Blue or Indigo for a classic, restrained room and Red or Emerald where the scheme wants more colour and confidence. Pair it with a plain linen or wool in one of its accent colours for curtains and blinds. Sold by the roll; order a sample before committing to a full room, since eight colourways is a lot to choose between from a small swatch.
With only a vertical repeat given, hang with the pattern running true and match carefully at each seam so the botanical continues cleanly. Roll length is not stated on this listing, 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 the collection's narrower papers.
