I’m off to Jaipur again next week, for another Ritchie Ace Camps block printing teaching stint, where I’ll be staying at Hotel Diggi Palace, which I loved so much, I named our new fabric collection Diggi Dot! It seems like the perfect opportunity to let you know about our latest line of wallpaper for Robin Sprong …

Inspired by: Red & Blue & More
I’ve always found a red and blue combination to be a little bit “obvious”, bringing to mind things like cowboys, Stars & Stripes, Union Jacks – you know what I mean. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Look at this room, photographed for Italian furniture manufacturer Battistella for their children’s range Nidi. It’s that surprising addition …

Colour Book: Signal & Steel
For some reason (I’m completely to blame), there have been two big gaps in the Skinny laMinx colour range. The one gap will always remain, because it is purple and I am allergic to purple. The other gap is a bit mystifying, because it’s a blue gap, and I do rather like blue. But let’s …

Colour Book: Lemon Green
A room painted green is quite something to carry off, although this coffee house I photographed in Jaipur, and used on my Lemon Green colour board certainly manages to create an atmosphere with it. My Lemon Green colour palette in our Colour Book is a fair bit more subtle, with soft sages bumping gently up against sharp …
