SPOTLIGHT ON…
Evocative Elegance
Festooned with butterflies and flowers embroidered and painted by hand, An English Butterfly Garden is the enchanting new silk wallpaper collection by interior designer Katharine Pooley for Fromental, inspired by her gardens in the Oxfordshire countryside and sold with a donation to the charity Butterfly Conservation. She says: “I have been delighted to see how the story of my garden has unfolded so beautifully ‘stroke by stroke’ and ‘stitch by stitch’ by Fromental’s world-leading, meticulous atelier of artists. Together we have created a wonderfully whimsical scene, as if one has accidentally wandered into a secret English garden full of beauty and intrigue.” katharinepooley.com; fromental.co.uk
