Osborne & Little | Lintel

Lintel runs a horizontal pattern across the wall that resembles louvred shutters, narrow bands stacked in even succession. The horizontality is the point: where most papers pull a room upward, this one settles it, stretching the wall sideways the way clapboard or panelling does.

That makes it useful in rooms with awkward proportions, widening a narrow space or calming a tall one. It reads as architecture rather than decoration, so it suits halls, studies, bathrooms and coastal rooms, and it leaves plenty of space for whatever hangs on it. Made in the United Kingdom.
