National Trust Partnership
Founded in 1895, the National Trust looks after special places in England, Wales and Northern Ireland for everyone to enjoy. Their work as Europe’s largest conservation charity preserves sites from coastlines, forests, woods and islands through to archaeological remains, villages, historic houses, gardens and one of the world's largest art collections.
As proud custodians of historic decoration, Little Greene undertake an ongoing programme of research in which we discover, reformulate, and publish original paint colours and bygone recipes. In doing so we are also committed to the care and conservation of the properties in which they were originally used.
With more than 500 places in the National Trust’s care, including some of the most significant historic interiors in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, this collaboration offers Little Greene a unique opportunity to delve into a prestigious and eclectic mix of decorative styles. A contribution from the purchase of every tin of Little Greene paint and every roll of Little Greene wallpaper is made to support the Trust’s important work.
自2018年初以来,合作their curators and conservators, an extensive paint research project has been undertaken in National Trust houses and gardens to find original colours, and to tell the stories of the people who first enjoyed them.
Little Greene and the National Trust have a real synergy: conservation, restoration and reinvention are at the heart of both organisations.Managing Director, David Mottershead
Following the success of the first wallpaper collection, ‘National Trust Papers,’ and 'National Trust Papers II' sees the launch of our latest collection ‘National Trust Papers III.’
'National Trust Papers III' comprises 45 colourways representing over 200 years of decoration. Each design has been created from original source material found at three of the National Trust’s historic houses, Oxburgh Hall and Felbrigg Hall in Norfolk and Newark Park in Gloucestershire, with the addition of one design that has been recoloured and revived from the Little Greene archive.
Employing traditional methods of printing that have remained unchanged for over 100 years, the collection comprises an array of hand-painted birds, stylised florals and scrolling trails, as well as a traditional ‘Toile de Jouy’.

The ‘National Trust Papers III’ collection offers a new approach to pattern colouration within the Little Greene collections, reinterpreting the colour drenching paint trend that has led to enveloping, intimate interiors, with many of the wallpapers featuring bold tonal colourways. These designs include ‘Poppy Trail’ in shades of ‘Masquerade’ pink, and ‘Hoja’ in four colourways, including ‘Hellebore’ and ‘Air Force Blue’.

Our Managing Director, David Mottershead, is thrilled about the relationship:“Little Greene and the National Trust have a real synergy: conservation, restoration and reinvention are at the heart of both organisations. The National Trust preserves centuries of heritage for the benefit of future generations, a sentiment echoed by Little Greene’s approach to the rediscovery and use of historical colour and pattern in the 21st Century.”
A contribution from the sale of every can of Little Greene paint will be made in support of the National Trust’s conservation work, to ensure the nation’s historic homes and open spaces can be enjoyed for generations to come.
In addition to this, Little Greene will be supporting the National Trust’s conservation and restoration programme by donating paints to bring colour and life back to some of the UK’s most beloved properties.
