The Fine Artistry of Mayflower Wallpaper

When your unadorned or tired-looking walls beckon for fresh color and expressive art, you may find yourself in town for paint samples. Or wandering into a local gallery in search of a rousing work to display. Opting for wallpaper can invite both color and texture. What if you could achieve all of the above? A unique and stirring work of art, sumptuous color and interesting texture. Founding owner and artist, Jonathan French of Mayflower Wallpaper, delivers these three elements with playful and abstract art in the form of wallpaper.

An entry way comes alive in the morning sun, as the platinum and gray iridescence of Petra (FJ40810) dance in the shadows.

The ethereal and romantic Bonfire (FJ31909) comes to life when natural light ignites soft, gold iridescent flames against the smoky churns of lavender.

Jonathan translates a personal expression of the sentient details that spark his many creative works, borrowing from the subtle cues of nature and meaningful life journeys. Trained in fine art painting at the Chelsea School of Art in London, he uses a variety of mediums and technique, including paint, resin, wood and copper, to tell story on canvas or through sculpture. Lucky for us, some of these stories find their way into his wallpaper designs. A display of Mayflower paper in your home creates an idyllic scene of interest, as if you’ve commissioned the artist himself to paint your walls.
