House of Hackney’s New Wallpapers: Nemor, Reverie, and Gardenia Bloom at Walnut Wallpaper in Los Angeles

Los Angeles interior designers and design lovers take note: the newest wallpapers from House of HackneyNemor, Reverie, and Gardenia—have arrived at Walnut Wallpaper, the city's destination for the most thoughtfully curated wallcoverings. These three distinct patterns mark a poetic intersection of historic inspiration and modern artistry, continuing House of Hackney’s legacy of reviving and reimagining traditional motifs for contemporary interiors.

Rooted in the romance of nature and art, Nemor and Reverie draw from the visual richness of Arts & Crafts design and vintage tapestries, while Gardenia channels the painterly spirit of French Impressionism. Taken together, they illustrate how wallpaper can be more than a background—it can transform a room into a living artwork.

Let’s explore these captivating new designs and the stories they tell on your walls.


Nemor: A Woodland Dream in Deep Greens and Cerulean Blues

The tree canopy of Nemor evokes the enduring enchantment of the English countryside. It’s aptly named as Nemor is derived from the Latin word nemus, meaning ‘grove’ or ‘wooded glade’—and this wallpaper immerses the viewer in just that.

Designed in the spirit of the Arts & Crafts movement, Nemor echoes the work of William Morris, the 19th-century British designer who championed the return to handcraft and the beauty of the natural world. The pattern’s winding branches, layered foliage, and richly detailed textures call to mind Morris’ celebrated wallpapers such as Acanthus or Forest, but with a fresh twist. House of Hackney’s interpretation softens the geometry of historic patterning, introducing a looser, more romantic flow reminiscent of antique wall tapestries.

The color palette of deep greens, earthy browns and unexpected hits of cerulean blue feel timeless but are rich enough to feel bold in today’s interiors. Whether used in a powder room, a library, or a statement wall in a living space, Nemor envelops the room in the mystery and majesty of the forest.


Reverie: A Tapestry of Tranquility and Time

 

While Nemor dwells in the deep woods, Reverie lifts you into a dreamlike canopy of gentler moods and tones. Like its sibling design, Reverie is inspired by vintage tapestries and the Arts & Crafts motifs, but here the effect is airier and more meditative suggesting a quiet moment of introspection. Lay beneath the leafy branches as the world slows down around you.

The name Reverie suggests an invitation to daydream. The pattern features a stylized arboreal canopy of sweeping branches and unfurling leaves. The scale and movement of the pattern makes it a visual anchor for any room. As with many of House of Hackney’s designs, the details reveal themselves slowly: the subtle curls of a vine, the gentle curves of a leaf, the tonal depth of the background.

Color is key to Reverie’s emotional impact. Shades of dusky green, warm brown, and softened blue evoke the natural world at rest. The color treatment has been distilled into a palette that’s both grounded and elevating. In a bedroom, Reverie offers a cocoon-like calm; in a hallway or entry, it sets a serene tone for the rest of the home.

Together, Nemor and Reverie reflect House of Hackney’s talent for reinterpreting the past with heart and imagination. While honoring the decorative richness of 19th-century design, the patterns are updated for 21st-century living. They are sumptuous but not overwhelming, complex but not cluttered—ideal for those who appreciate both history and harmony.


Gardenia: A Celebration of Color in Full Bloom

In contrast to the wooded romance of Nemor and Reverie, Gardenia bursts into the room like a breath of fresh spring air. This floral design draws inspiration from the French Impressionists, especially Claude Monet, whose ethereal depictions of gardens and wildflowers transformed the way we see light and nature.

Where the first two patterns dwell in shadow and shade, Gardenia is a celebration of blooming life. The design shows a field of flowers unfurling in painterly layers with brushstrokes capturing the essence of movement and growth. There’s a looseness to the pattern that reflects its artistic roots; it doesn’t just show flowers, it feels like flowers.

The palette is unmistakably spring: vibrant greens, soft lavenders, golden yellows, and delicate purples—all alive with energy. Gardenia captures that fleeting moment when nature feels infinite, and everything seems to be in bloom at once. In doing so, it brings joy, color, and optimism to the home.

Because of its expressive nature, Gardenia lends itself well to creative interiors. In a sunroom, it shows the connection between indoors and outdoors. In a kitchen or dining room, it elevates the everyday. Even in a modern apartment, Gardenia can provide a spirited contrast to minimal architecture, making the space feel more personal, more joyful, and more alive.


Classic Reimagined: House of Hackney’s Signature

What makes these wallpapers so compelling is House of Hackney’s unique ability to reimagine traditional patterns for modern living. Nemor, Reverie, and Gardenia each reference specific historic styles—the Arts & Crafts movement, antique tapestries, and Impressionist painting—but never feel like replicas or reproductions. Instead, they are thoughtful reinterpretations, guided by artistry, sustainability, and a commitment to beauty.

House of Hackney wallpapers are printed in England using eco-friendly inks and FSC-certified paper, they combine old-world craftsmanship with contemporary standards. The results are wallpapers that are as stunning as they are ethically made—a value shared by Walnut Wallpaper, whose showroom in Los Angeles has long championed designers who bring integrity, quality and environmental standards to their work.

 

Designing with Nemor, Reverie, and Gardenia

So how can these patterns be used in real homes?

  • Nemor is ideal for cozy, atmospheric rooms. Try it in a study or guest room with dark wood, brass accents, and velvet textiles. Think heritage charm with a modern edge.
  • Reverie suits spaces that benefit from softness and serenity—like bedrooms, nurseries, or meditation spaces. Pair with pale linens, natural materials, and soft lighting.
  • Gardenia brings vibrant energy into lighter, more playful rooms. It’s perfect for a breakfast nook, a dressing room, or even a child’s playroom, where its joyful colors inspire creativity.

For the design-forward homeowner, layering these wallpapers with complementary patterns, fabrics, and artwork can build a richly textured environment that feels collected rather than curated. House of Hackney’s patterns are bold enough to stand alone but sophisticated enough to harmonize within larger compositions.
