Nina Campbell | Bowhill

Bowhill is an all-over pattern of small-scale painterly petals, the brushwork loose enough that each petal keeps a hand-touched softness, and the scale small enough that the wall reads as gentle movement rather than declared pattern. Papers like this are the quiet workers of decoration, giving a room life without ever asking to be discussed.

It is made in the United Kingdom. The small repeat suits bedrooms, bathrooms, landings and smaller rooms particularly well, and it makes an easy companion to more assertive florals and stripes used nearby, holding its own corner of the scheme without competing.
