Weekly Wallpaper Spotlight
Every week, I feature a standout wallpaper or colour that has captured my attention. This week, I’m spotlighting a special collaboration—Harlequin’s newest collection with the multi-talented Henry Holland, designer and ceramicist. Harlequin, a well-established name in luxury fabrics and wallpapers, continues to make waves in the design world, and their latest collection is no exception.
For those unfamiliar, Henry Holland is the former creative director of House of Holland and began his journey into ceramics as a hobby during the pandemic. Now, his unmistakable creativity has extended into wallpaper design, and I couldn’t be more excited to showcase my top picks from this exceptional collection.
My Top Three Picks
Selecting a favourite from Henry Holland's designs was no easy feat, but here are my top three:
These textured wallpapers are both timeless and innovative, reflecting Holland's seamless transition from ceramics to wallpaper. Let’s dive into what makes these designs so special.
1. Edenfield Chocolate
This stunning wallpaper, originally inspired by one of Holland's studio paintings, features a woodgrain effect that brings an organic texture to any space. Painted on silk paper to enhance its luxurious appearance, Edenfield Chocolate is understated yet impactful. I selected the chocolate colourway for its rich, earthy tones, which mimic the intricate detailing of tree bark.
To complement this natural, timber-like aesthetic, I recommend pairing it with Benjamin Moore’s French Press AF-170, a deep brown that enhances the wallpaper's organic warmth.
2. Blenets Check in Matcha
Check prints are having a major resurgence, and Blenets Check in the Matcha colourway is the perfect way to embrace this trend. Inspired by Holland's ceramic work, this bold print brings a fresh, contemporary feel to any room. The Matcha green hue, in particular, is a refreshing choice as we transition into the darker months.
Consider this wallpaper for a statement feature wall in a home office or as a playful addition to a downstairs bathroom. Pair it with Colourtrend’s Nettle Soup to enhance the vibrant, grassy tones and create a cohesive look.
3. Elsworthy Moss
For a more traditional look with a modern twist, Elsworthy Moss is a moiré-style wallpaper that exudes luxury. Its silk-embossed texture creates the illusion of fabric-covered walls, adding both depth and elegance to any room. This design is particularly close to Holland’s heart, as it was inspired by his own wedding suit.
Perfect for a master bedroom, this wallpaper will transform the space into a cosy retreat. I recommend pairing it with Farrow & Ball’s Old White No. 4, a soft and delicate shade that subtly lifts the wallpaper's lighter undertones.
Why I Love This Collection
Henry Holland’s artistic background shines through in this collection, and I love how he’s brought a fresh perspective to traditional wallpaper design. Each piece feels like a work of art—timeless, yet modern. Narrowing my selection to just three favourites was a challenge, but I hope this roundup has inspired you to explore these designs for your own home. I don’t know about you but I am ready to turn my house into a Henry Holland home.
