The in-house design studio drew inspiration from ancient textiles, weaving a continuous thread of creativity that has been passed down through generations. 

The hand-painted tapestry pays homage to the artisans who came before, with a fantastical design that celebrates storytelling through the ages. 

The mystical element to the design taps into the allure of an enchanted garden, helping to turn homes into a whimsical space that evokes a sense of magic. 

Graham & Brown recommend complementing the Design with our Colour of the Year, DIVINE DAMSON for a fully perfectly partnered room.

This year's wallpaper design features a hand painted look, inspired by a piece of artwork from Graham & Brown's archive of over 50,000 pieces. 

The archival piece had a hand-stitched appearance and rich texture, which the design team sought to recreate for the Design of the Year 2026. 

The inspiration for the mural of the year, Eternal City, was taken from the architecture and textiles of the pink city of Jaipur; this beautiful ancient city has a rich heritage and unique charm that is highly regarded by artisans around the world.

Graham & Brown designer, Victoria Davidson undertook the task of meticulously hand drawing and painting this intricate mural, a process that took several months in the studio.

Her technique was inspired by traditional Indian miniaturist painting known for its exquisite detail achieved using fine brushes and mineral pigments. 

Her intricate detailing brings the design’s vibrant cityscape to life through jewel-toned colours, botanical motifs and delicate linework – resulting in a piece that truly delights the senses.
