Nina Campbell | Boxgrove

Boxgrove is a stripe drawn to resemble basket weave, the bands appearing to pass over and under one another so the paper carries the texture of woven cane or rush. It reads as a stripe from across the room and as craftsmanship up close.

Printed in the United Kingdom, it is one of the most obliging kinds of wallpaper: pattern that behaves like texture, giving walls warmth and interest without competing with pictures, furniture or fabrics. Halls, studies, sitting rooms and bedrooms all take it well, and it makes a sympathetic backdrop to both florals and plains from the Nina Campbell collections.
