Bold, delicate and delicious that's how we would describe the bespoke collection of fabrics and wall-coverings that celebrate our collaboration with Castle Howard.
Temple Toile is part of the new Castle Howard Indienne Collection and features a drawn toile design of joyful chinoiserie scenes set amongst potted plants and lush vegetation. The Temple Toile is characteristic of the oriental narrative motifs specific to chinoiseries printed in monochrome. Each scene is delineated by a rocky base, a device that gives the design as a whole the appearance of floating on air.
Romantic and whimsical the Temple Toile has been created in 6 different colours, reminiscent of the palette of the seventeenth century printed and painted cottons from India which first appeared in France during that period.

Bringing together traditional methods, an archive of historical designs, and a range of contemporary colours, our hand-blocked wallpapers are a sumptuous statement for any room.
We use the original handmade pear wood blocks and rollers to produce our papers the traditional way. We have a wide range of designs with a variety of scales and styles, along with the skilled ability to produce rolls in any colour to transform the distinctive into the truly unique.
When our designs were first drawn for the block makers in Watts’ early years they would have been coloured specifically for each job. Today we can offer a wide range of colours but we take great care to use a palette that is true to our design roots.
Using traditional materials helps as part of today’s drive to create sustainable buildings but best of all it ensures that the printed surface avoids the plastic monotony of alkyd and acrylic paints.
