In 1939, brothers William and Walter Straw inherited their late parents’ Edwardian home in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, with Walter also taking over the family grocery business which had served the community for over fifty years. The brothers shared an active interest in collecting succulents and cacti. Their humble greenhouse at the end of the garden is still home to an ongoing array of specimens which have inspired this light-hearted wallpaper design.
Featuring charmingly illustrated sculptural succulents and flowering cacti displayed on shelves, the ‘Mr Straw’s Greenhouse’ wallpaper design is offered in three subtle tonal colourways of Light Gold, Garden and Air Force Blue and three bolder contrast designs where each specimen is highlighted in bold green against backgrounds of neutral Slaked Lime and bold Green Verditer and Mambo.
